Introduction and objective: Pre-operative and post-operative evidence-based applications protect the organs, reduce the response to stress, speed up the healing process and provide early discharge. Therefore, the aim of our study is to provide nurses information about evidence-based practices in gynecologic surgery, contribute to nursing literature and encourage them to use current evidence in patient care.
Material and method: In the review within the scope of pre-operative care evidence-based practices, it was discussed that patient counseling and training, preoperative optimization, thromboembolism prophylaxis, bowel preparation, nutrition, premedication, antimicrobial prophylaxis and skin preparation. And it was examined that follow-up of post-operative life findings as part of post-operative evidence-based practices, thromboembolism prophylaxis, use of spirometry, fluid therapy, nutrition, prevention of ileus, glucose control, analgesia, urinary drainage, early mobilization and antibiotic prophylaxis.
Conclucion: When the literature on evidence-based applications was examined, it is seen that studies conducted in patients undergoing surgery have been more common but studies involving patients undergoing gynecologic surgery were limited. In addition, when the nursing studies in our country were examined, it was observed that the evidence is not used in practice and the nurses remain outside this process and the team. Nurses should base patient care before and after surgery that safe, effective and high-quality care that increases patient satisfaction and reduces cost, hospital stay, complication and morbidity rates, instead of traditional practices.
