Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Medical-Surgical

Background:

  • Perioperative thirst is a common and distressing symptom for surgical patients.
  • Effective assessment tools are crucial for managing this discomfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a reliable scale for assessing perioperative thirst discomfort.
  • To provide a standardized instrument for healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Methodological research conducted in a Brazilian public hospital surgical center.
  • Scale development involved literature review, face and content validation.
  • Reliability assessed via internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and inter-observer equivalence (weighted kappa).

Main Results:

  • The final scale comprises seven items: dry mouth, dry lips, thick tongue, thick saliva, dry throat, bad taste, and desire to drink water.
  • Content validity index was 0.98 for attributes and items.
  • Reliability was high, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.91 and inter-rater equivalence of 1.

Conclusions:

  • The Perioperative Thirst Discomfort Scale exhibits excellent content validity and reliability.
  • This validated scale can be effectively used to measure perioperative thirst discomfort.
