ABSTRACT
Patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia have xerostomia and abdominal pain due to long fasting times. These symptoms may hinder postoperative recovery and health, and may even lead to complications. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nursing intervention of early oral feeding on the degree of xerostomia and the degree of abdominal pain in spontaneous pneumothorax patients who underwent thoracoscopic bullectomy. This quasiexperimental study utilized a nonequivalent control group with a non-synchronized design. The subjects consisted of 60 patients, of which 30 comprised the experimental group and 30 the control group. The degree of xerostomia and degree of abdominal pain were determined through visual analogue scale(VAS). Data was analyzed through SPSS WIN 22.0. The results showed no statistically significant difference(p>.05) in abdominal pain, but improvements were observed in xerostomia(p<.05). Thus, this study recommends the use of early oral feeding as part of nursing intervention for thoracic surgery patients so as to reduce their degree of xerostomia.
