Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nausea | once before the application and 60, 120, 180 and 240 min. after arrival at the clinic | Nausea level: It consists of a numeric scale. Among the numbers, ''0'' corresponds to ''no thirst/nausea'' and ''10'' corresponds to ''very much thirst/nausea''. As the number increases, nausea and thirst will be accepted as increased. There is no cut-off point. |
| Thirst | once before the application and 60, 120, 180 and 240 min. after arrival at the clinic | Thirst level: A minimum score of 12 and a maximum score of 60 can be obtained from the scale. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of thirst discomfort of the patients. |
| Comfort | once before the application and 240 min. after arrival at the clinic | Comfort level: The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 192 and the lowest score is 48. A high SCS scoring indicates a high comfort level of the individual. |
