The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chewing gum before surgery on preoperative anxiety, postoperative gastrointestinal functions (time to first gas, time to first defecation, bowel sounds, abdominal distension) and nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Hypotheses of the Study: In patients undergoing abdominal surgery; H1.1: The first gas output time (hour) is shorter in patients who chew gum before surgery compared to patients who do not chew gum H1.2: The first defecation time (hour) is shorter in patients who chew gum before surgery compared to patients who do not chew gum H1.3: The bowel sounds are heard shorter in patients who chew gum before surgery compared to patients who do not chew gum H1.4: The abdominal distension rate is lower in patients who chew gum before surgery compared to patients who do not chew gum H1.5: The nausea and vomiting rate is lower in patients who chew gum before surgery compared to patients who do not chew gum H1.6: Preoperative anxiety levels of patients who chew gum before surgery are lower than those of patients who do not chew gum Preoperative intervention group patients will chew sugarless gum for at least 30 minutes 30-60 minutes before surgery. The gum will be removed before going to the operating room. No intervention will be performed on control group patients, and standard care will be applied.
