Özet
Background: The concept of ERAS was introduced by Professor Henrik Kehlet
in the late 1990s. ERAS protocols are defined as a perioperative care model designed
to reduce a patient’s stress response, prevent organ complications, provide early
rehabilitation, and thus minimize the patient’s hospital stay.
Objective: This study aimed to explore nursing students’ attitudes towards
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and how clinical experiences influence
these attitudes. It sought to identify less-known ERAS areas for students and factors
impacting their compatibility with ERAS. Materials and Methods: Conducted between November 2021 to March 2022, this descriptive and cross-sectional research included 199 nursing students from the second to fourth years of study at Bursa Uludağ University. The Approaches
to Enhanced Recovery Practices After Surgery Survey was utilized for the data
collection.
Results: 76.9% of participants were female, 62.3% had GPAs between 3.00 and
4.00, and 78.4% had graduated from qualified high schools. Overall, the correct
answer level to survey questions was 62.17%, with a higher average among those
with a higher GPA and qualified high-school graduates. “Early Mobilization” and
“Pain Management” had the highest awareness, while “Catheter and Drain Use”
and “Hypothermia” had the lowest. Gender, GPA, and high-school group correlated
significantly with ERAS compliance.
Conclusions: Our research is similar to other studies conducted with nurses in
terms of the ERAS components that were not well known by the participants. These findings will aid healthcare educators in enhancing ERAS compliance and education among nursing students.
