“…According to clinically incomplete statistics, the majority of patients in surgical postoperative 6 h are accompanied by strong thirst symptoms, and more than 70% of patients with moderately severe thirst accounted for; patients with a serious thirst not only cause physical discomfort but may also cause psychological distress in a state of anxiety; adherence to treatment and rehabilitation progress produces serious influence [ 2 , 3 ]. Therefore, as one of the main factors affecting the recovery and prognosis of the disease, thirst assessment plays an important role in alleviating the symptoms of thirst and speeding up recovery by understanding the risk factors that cause thirst and reducing postoperative thirst [ 4 ]. Therefore, in the first part of this study, the relevant factors leading to the increased thirst degree of patients after gastrointestinal surgery in our hospital are analyzed from both the surgical and psychological aspects through retrospective experiments.…”

This study mainly analyzes the related surgical and psychological factors that cause the change of thirst degree after gastrointestinal surgery, and observes the practical effect of action intervention strategy combined with the two factors on reducing postoperative thirst degree. Based on this, the clinical data of 87 patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor resection in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 is retrospectively analyzed. The degree of thirst is evaluated by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the subjects are divided into three groups: a mild group (n = 29), a moderate group (n = 35), and a severe group (n = 23), and their psychological and surgical indicators are compared and analyzed. The results show that the thirst degree and light comfort of mouth in the study group are better than those in the control group at 2 h after surgery, and there is no significant difference when compared to 6 h after surgery, but the thirst degree and oral discomfort in the control group at 6 h after surgery are significantly higher than those in the study group at 2 h after surgery. It is suggested that an action research intervention strategy with a high practical effect can effectively reduce postoperative thirst and oral discomfort.

“…” (Allida et al., 2021; Anderson et al., 2021). The questions asked reflect the difficulty in self‐assessing thirstiness perception, and that the thirstiness sensation is not usually asked about as a single parameter but is associated with other parameters such as refreshing, saliva stimulating (van Belzen et al., 2017), dry mouth (Armstrong et al., 2020; Oztas & Oztas, 2022; Zhang et al., 2022), or urine osmolality (Sekiguchi et al., 2022). It has also been shown that the VAS is equally valid whether it is on paper or in electronic format (Delgado et al., 2018).…”

The sensation of thirstiness is the desire to drink water. In certain situations, the ingestion of liquid water can be restricted. As a result, thirstiness is not relieved, resulting in an uncomfortable and distressing situation. The present review describes thirstiness and hydration, the food products and beverages that cause thirstiness, and the beverages and food products currently available to quench thirstiness in individuals with restricted access to liquid ingestion. It also discusses how to measure the effectiveness of calming thirstiness. To diminish thirstiness distress, different alternatives to liquids are proposed. Individuals with swallowing disorders are given thickened water, individuals with restricted water ingestion are given ice cubes or ice popsicles of different flavors, and sportspeople are given energy gels. However, current beverage solutions seem not to relieve thirst fully, although some stimuli like iced water, flavors (especially lemon and mint), or acids seem to work better than plain stimuli and could be added to existing products. Therefore, there is still a need to incorporate these strategies into beverage and food formulations and to test their effectiveness.

“…However, thirst is a significant symptom that should be evaluated by the nurse 7 . For thirst management, nurses should evaluate the expressions of thirst and dry mouth of the patients and perform risk assessment with visual controls 12 . Defining the patient’s thirst and making appropriate interventions is an important part of humanistic nursing care 13 .…”

“…It was reported in a published systematic review study that cold oral stimuli are effective in reducing postoperative thirst 22 . Patients having abdominal surgery may get thirst relief with the use of cold water, ice, and cold menthol treatments, among other techniques 12 , 22 , 23 . Studies have shown that patients can safely use 8–10 ice cubes, equivalent to a total of 40–50 ml (1 ice cube = 5 ml), throughout the day to prevent thirst 1 , 24 .…”

“…Previous studies have generally attempted to reduce dryness using ice cubes, with room temperature water commonly used in the control group 1 , 22 , 28 . Only one study conducted an experimental investigation using a 7–15 °C cold water spray 12 . Our aim was to generate new evidence for nursing practices by planning to apply cold water at a temperature of + 4 °C using a spray, which reduces the risk of aspiration associated with ice cubes.…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of intraoral cold water spray on thirst, frequency of oral care and postoperative period pain at surgical incision site in patients having abdominal surgery. The study was carried out as a randomized controlled trial, registered under Clinical Trial Number: NCT05940818. The study involved 110 participants, divided equally into two groups (n = 55): the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected using patient information form, NRS, Intensive Care Oral Care Frequency Assessment Scale (ICOCFAS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The severity of thirst at 1st, 8th, 16th h of post-operative period (p < 0.01) and the frequency of oral care application at 16th h were statistically significantly decreased in the experimental group when compared to the control group (p < 0.01).There wasn’t statistically significant difference between the patients in the experimental and control groups in terms of pain at surgical incision site (p > 0.05). The patient’s thirst and need for frequent oral care in the postoperative period were reduced by the application of a cold water spray. In patients undergoing abdominal surgery, the use of cold water spray application may be recommended to reduce thirst and the need for frequency of oral care application.
