Abstrakt: Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of early mobilisation on pain and quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Material-Method: The method of this study included a pretest-posttest experimental design with a control group. This study was conducted in the inpatient general surgery department of a government hospital between August 2021 and May 2022. A total of ninety patients were included in the sample. Starting two hours after surgery, patients in the intervention group were mobilised at least 6 times within 24 hours. A "Patient Description Form", the "Visual Analogue Scale for Pain" and the "Quality of Recovery-40 Questionnaire" were used to collect data. The Visual Analog Scale for Pain was administered at 2 hours, 24 hours, and 15 days postoperatively, and the Quality of Recovery-40 Questionnaire was administered 2 hours before surgery and at 24 hours and 15 days postoperatively. Results: The baseline and medical characteristics of the patients in the intervention and control groups were similar. No significant difference was found between the mean pain and recovery quality scores of patients in the two groups at 2 hours postoperatively. The mean pain severity scores of the intervention group at 24 hours and 15 days postoperatively were found to be significantly lower than those of the control group. It was found that the mean quality of recovery scores of the intervention group at 24 hours and 15 days postoperatively were also greater than those of the control group. Conclusion: Early mobilisation was found to reduce the level of pain and improve the quality of recovery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
