Objective: To reveal the effects of self-care agency and patient features on comfort. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 221 patients who had undergone abdominal surgery in the general surgery clinic and intensive care unit between August 23 and November 23, 2021. Data were collected with The Descriptive Characteristics Form, The Exercise of Self Care Agency Scale and the Perianesthesia Comfort Scale. Institutional permission, ethics committee approval, and written consent from the participants were obtained. Results: The average age of the participants were 46.73±16.95. The participants comprised 51.1% were women, 70.6% were married, 75.6% had children, 37.1% were high school graduates and 58.8% were unemployed. It was found that 54.8% of the participants didn't have a chronic disease and 54.8% didn't have a surgery before. 57.9% of the patients had laparoscopic surgery and 78.7% took less than four hours to operate. Age, having a child, place of residence, level of education, working status, presence of a chronic disease, previous surgery, the type and duration of the surgery affect the comfort level. A moderate and positive relationship was found between self-care agency and comfort. It was revealed that a one-unit increase in the self-care agency of the participants increased their comfort by 0.013. Conclusion: It has been determined that as participants' self-care agency increases, their comfort level increases. Therefore, it is important for nurses to identify the self-care agency and comfort of abdominal surgery patients.

Amaç: Hastaların öz bakım gücü ve tanıtıcı özelliklerinin konfora etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, 23 Ağustos-23 Kasım 2021 tarihleri arasında genel cerrahi kliniği ve yoğun bakım ünitesinde 221 abdominal cerrahi geçirmiş hastayla yapılmıştır. Veriler Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu, Öz Bakım Gücü ve Perianestezi Konfor Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmış ve araştırma öncesinde kurum izni, etik kurul onayı ve katılımcılardan yazılı onam alınmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 46,73±16,95'ti. Katılımcıların %51,1'i kadın, %70,6'sı evli, %75,6'sı çocuk sahibi, %37,1'i lise mezunu, %58,8'i çalışmamaktaydı. Katılımcıların %54,8'inin kronik hastalığının olmadığı, %54,8'inin ise daha önce herhangi bir ameliyat geçirmediği belirlendi. Hastaların %57,9'una laparoskopik cerrahi uygulandı ve %78,7'sinin ameliyatı 4 saatten kısa sürdü. Yaş, çocuk sahibi olma, yaşanılan yer, eğitim düzeyi, çalışma durumu, kronik hastalık varlığı, daha önce geçirilmiş ameliyat varlığı, ameliyatın türü ve süresi konfor düzeyini etkiledi. Öz-bakım gücü ile konfor arasında orta düzeyde ve pozitif bir ilişki bulundu. Katılımcıların öz-bakım gücündeki bir birimlik artışın konfor düzeyini 0,013 oranında artırdığı saptandı. Sonuç: Bireylerin öz bakım gücü arttıkça konfor düzeylerinin de arttığı belirlendi. Bu yüzden hemşirelerin abdominal cerrahi hastalarının öz bakım güçlerini ve konfor düzeyini incelemeleri önemlidir.
