This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effect of postoperative telehealth counseling on patient outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing day surgery.
Hypotheses of the Study H11: In geriatric patients undergoing day surgery, the postoperative self-care power of the intervention group receiving postoperative telehealth counseling is higher than the control group not receiving counseling.
H12: In geriatric patients undergoing day surgery, the postoperative recovery status of the intervention group receiving postoperative telehealth counseling is higher than that of the control group not receiving counseling.

Postoperatıve recovery process
Data collection tools Postoperative Recovery Index (PRAI): The index consists of 5 sub-dimensions and 25 items. The sub-dimensions are psychological symptoms, physical activities, general symptoms, bowel symptoms and craving symptoms. When determining the sub-dimension score, the scores of the related items are summed and their arithmetic averages are taken. For the total score, all items are summed and the arith. Maximum Possible Score: If the scoring system for each item is on a scale (for example, 1 to 5), the maximum score for each sub-dimension would be the sum of the highest possible score for each item within that sub-dimension. The total maximum score is the sum of the maximum scores for all 25 items. If each item can score between 1 and 5, the maximum score per item is 5. Maximum score for 25 items: 5 x 25 = 125 (total score) Minimum Possible Score: The minimum score for each item is 1, so the lowest possible score for each sub-dimension is 25 (1 for each of the 25 ite
