Özet:

The aim of this systematic review was to examine the current literature to determine the effects of early mobilization interventions on gastrointestinal functions after abdominal surgery. This systematic review was created by searching Pubmed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, TürkMedline ve Ulakbim databases with keywords related to “early mobilization”, “abdominal surgery” and “gastrointestinal functions”. Articles published between 2010-2020, with in English and Turkish, prospective randomized controlled and quasi-experimental design, and open to full text access were included. As a result of the literature review, 7 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were examined within the scope of the study. It was determined that 6 of the studies were prospective randomized controlled and 1 was quasi-experimental research design. It was found that the mobilization programs applied in the studies and the outcome variables examined differed. In most of the studies, it was determined that early and planned mobilization which applied postoperatively shorten the time of first flatus, stool and time to start the first oral intake, and decreased the experienced abdominal distention, nausea and vomiting. The reviewed literature showed that postoperative early and planned mobilization programs had positive effects on the first flatus and stool time, the severity of abdominal distention, the incidence of nausea and vomiting, and time to start oral intake, but further studies are needed on some components.
