BehavioralThe first stage is the collection of quantitative data. Only quantitative data were collected from patients and caregivers in the experimental and control groups before the implementation of curative care practices based on human caring theory. The second stage includes curative care practices within the scope of the study for the experimental group. Patients and their relatives in the control group will receive routine care services provided at the clinics where the study was conducted, but no interventions will be implemented by the researchers. The third stage is the stage where patient satisfaction, caregiver burden, feelings of entrapment, and satisfaction with caregiving are assessed after the curative care practices. This stage is the final test of quantitative data and the collection of qualitative data. The fourth stage is the evaluation stage. In the final stage, data obtained from all stages will be compared, evaluated, and interpreted.
The effect of healing care on caregiver entrapment will be measured with the Feeling of Entrapment Scale, preoperatively and on the 4th postoperative day. Outcome is the change in total score.
The effect of therapeutic care on caregiver burden will be measured with the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (0-88), preoperatively and on the 4th postoperative day. Outcome is the change in total score.
The effect of healing care on caregiver satisfaction will be measured with the Caregiver Satisfaction Index (1-5), preoperatively and on the 4th postoperative day. Outcome is the change in satisfaction score.
The effect of therapeutic care on patient satisfaction will be measured with the Patient Satisfaction Form based on Watson's Healing Processes (0-100), preoperatively and on the 4th postoperative day. Outcome is score change.
