Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Nausea
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
