The chest tube adheres to the tissue it comes into contact with and may experience mild, moderate and severe pain due to the separation of the adhesion due to pulling during removal. Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation(TENS) application after thoracic surgery on the pain level and analgesic consumption during chest tube removal. Methods: The research was carried out as a randomized controlled study. The study is currently in the data collection phase, and a total of 32 patients have been reached so far. A total of 60 patients will be reached in the study.TENS was applied to the experimental group 45 minutes before and 15 minutes after the chest tube was removed. The patients’ pain scores were evaluated using the Numerical Pain Scale(NPS) 45 minutes before, when the chest tube was removed, and 15 minutes after the TENS application was finished. After the procedure, the amount of analgesic consumption by the experimental group in the first hour was recorded. Before starting the research, necessary ethics committee and institutional permission were obtained. Results: The pain of TENS and control groups before, during and after the procedure was evaluated, and it was seen that the mean pain scores were lower in the TENS group (p=0.000) than in the control group (p=0.004). Considering the post-procedure analgesic drug use of the patients in the TENS and control groups; Paracetamol (p=0.032) and tramadol (p=0.028) analgesic use were found to be statistically significantly different (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that TENS application reduced the patient’s pain score during chest tube removal and analgesic use after the procedure. 277 Evaluation of Nursing Students’ Perspective on Aesthetic Surgery ilknur tura1, Sevİlay Erden1, Açelya Türkmen1, Umut Ece Arslan2 1Cukurova Universty, Adana, 2Hacettepe Universty, Ankara BACKGROUND: Individual factors such as age, gender, cultural differences, desire to look beautiful and to be liked to affect the attitude towards aesthetic surgery. Moreover, social factors such as social acceptance of aesthetic surgery procedures and media news about changing the physical appearance also affect attitudes towards aesthetic surgery. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated nursing students’ personal, social, and intellectual perspectives on aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery. METHODS: This descriptive study was conducted with 1st and 4th-year students studying at the nursing of a state university. A total of 435 students who met the research criteria were included in the study. The data of the study were collected using the Student Introductory Information Form (SIIF) and the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS). Descriptive statistical analyses were used in the study, and ethical committee and institutional permissions were obtained. RESULTS: The average age of the students participating in the study was 21.66±3.46. The ACCS personal sub-dimension mean score (23.48±7.01) was found to be higher than the social (12.52±7.55) and intellectual (17.56±8.53) sub-dimension mean scores. In addition, it was determined that the attitude towards plastic surgery was more positive (median=54.00) among 4th-year students. CONCLUSIONS: This study determined that students accepted aesthetic surgery at a moderate level, male students had higher social motivation related to aesthetic surgery, students were affected by the media news in accepting aesthetic surgery, and those 4th-year students had a more positive attitude towards aesthetic surgery. In summary, it can be said that the fact that the students in our sample are both young and health workers affect their attitudes towards plastic surgery positively.
