Özet:

The protocols have been established to reduce the length of stay in hospitals, because they stay in hospitals for long times as a result of conventional applications, this condition adversely affects the healing of patients. It is called as "ERAS-Enhanced Recovery After Surgery" in Europe in the meaning of the acceleration of post-operative healing, "fast tract surgery" in US in the meaning of accelerated surgery and "Accelerated Care Protocols-HBP" in Turkey. Accelerated care protocols provide a evidence-based care in nursing care, allow the development of nursing and the use of new policies and procedures. Firstly, accelerated care protocols for colorectal surgery were discussed in this review due to the development of protocols for colorectal surgery and the difficulties in achieving the common items in the protocol. In this review, the roles of nurses in preoperative informing, training and counseling, the optimization of the patient before the surgery which were included in the protocol, which cover the duties of the nurses were discussed. As a result, it was determined that nurses pactices take part in most of the items in the protocol. However, it seems that these protocols which are evidence-based applications are far different from traditional applications. Therefore, it is recommended to inform nurses and nursing students about this issue. In addition, it was determined that experimental nursing studies in this field in Turkey were few. For colorectal surgery, it is suggested to increase the number of experimental studies on the use of accelerated care protocols in nursing care.
