transdermal melatonin,, urological surgery, sleep quality
Brief summary
Patients undergoing urological surgery may experience a decrease in sleep quality due to many factors such as hospitalization, different environment, pain, stress and anesthesia. After surgery, melatonin secretion decreases and circadian rhythm becomes irregular in patients. This problem can lead to sleep disorders in patients. Melatonin is an important hormone that regulates both sleep and circadian rhythms. The aim of this study is to observe the effect of a melatonin skin patch designed to produce melatonin in a way that ensures a stable increase in melatonin levels in the blood, on patients undergoing urological surgery.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of a melatonin skin patch designed to produce melatonin, which would provide a stable increase in blood melatonin levels, on patients undergoing urological surgery. The patients were applied a melatonin patch before surgery. The other group received routine nursing care.
Interventions
OTHERA skin patch (2.1 mg melatonin) was applied to the melatonin group. The melatonin patches will be placed at 8:00 PM (on the upper chest or forearm, as determined by the patient) before going to sleep
A skin patch (2.1 mg melatonin) was applied to the melatonin group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sleep quality | The Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale will be completed at 20:00 the evening before surgery and at 06:00 the morning of surgery. | Sleep is examined in the parameter and scored between 100 'very suitable' and 0 'not suitable'. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the patient's sleep quality is considered. |
