Brief summary: The study was conducted to determine the effect of oral water and ice popsicle on management of thirst in the immediate postoperative period as experimental.

Detailed description: Also, it is aimed to evaluate validity and reliability of "Safety Protocol for Management Thirst in the Immediate Postoperative Period Protocol" which is used to take oral water and ice of patients in the immediate postoperative period, as administrative. The study was conducted with 150 patients who are transferred to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after their operation and met study criteria. Patients divided into three groups as the study (water group=50, ice group=50) and control (n=50). Patients in the study group were performed oral water/ice popsicle after their accession to PACU. However, the control group patients have performed rutin treatment and care without any other intervention. Physiologic variables and symptoms with thirst were followed in every three group patients at certain times. Data were evaluated by using NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 program.
