    Background/aim: It is of crucial importantance to be able to detect acute psychological distress in patients. 'the Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT) was developed for this purpose in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of IPAT. Materials and methods: In total, 98 patients were included. To assess concurrent validity, the Intensive Care Experiences Scale (ICES) and the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale were performed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate internal consistency. Interitem and item-total score correlations were also performed. Sensitivity and specificity were derived for concurrent anxiety and depression. Results: The internal reliability was good. Cronbach's a = 0.85. Items were well-correlated, with an average interitem correlation of 0.38. The concurrent validity of IPAT was good. Correlation between IPAT scores, anxiety, depression, ICES, and the diagnosis of delirium were as follows, respectively: r = 0.61, P < 0.01, r 0.54, P < 0.01, r = -0.66, P < 0.01, r = 0.37, P < 0.01. With a cutoff score of > 6, IPAT showed 85% sensitivity and 61% specificity to detect concurrent anxiety, and 74% sensitivity and 82% specificity to detect concurrent depression [AUC = 0.77 (95% CI, 0.68-0.87) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.76-0.92), respectively). Conclusion: The Turkish version of IPAT was found to be a valid and reliable tool to assess acute psychological distress among patients in intensive care units.

    Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are frequent in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative laser acupuncture stimulation of Pericardium 6 (PC6) and Large Intestine 4 (LI4) acupoints combined with antiemetic drug prophylaxis on PONV. Methods: A total of 88 patients, scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were assigned into 2 groups. Group I received bilateral laser acupuncture on PC6 and LI4 acupoints after induction of anesthesia and also received antiemetic drug (metoclopramide) prophylaxis. Patients in Group II received only antiemetic drug prophylaxis. Nausea and vomiting frequencies and need for rescue antiemetic drug (ondansetron) were recorded after extubation, at 30th minute at recovery room and at 6th hour at ward. Results: The incidence of nausea and rescue antiemetic drug need was higher at postoperative 6th hour in Group II. Vomiting was not different in groups at any time. Conclusion: Intraoperative laser acupuncture stimulation of PC6 and LI4 acupoints combined with antiemetic drug prophylaxis decreases nausea and rescue antiemetic drug need in late postoperative period in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
