Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
For randomization, blocks of size 4 or 6 will be used to increase the unpredictability of produced random sequence. To hide the generated sequence, envelopes will be numbered and opened for each participant sequentially to determine their group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
It is explained to the patient that the patient will participate in a research study, but it is not explained which groups they will be allocated because patient's responses do not be affected by the results of the study and also the statistical analyst only has the statistical data and doesn't know about group of each patient.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: the intervention is the intentional presence of the holistic nurse which is based on the theories of holistic presence in three levels (physical, psychological and therapeutic) and holistic nurse's intentionality. According to this approach the nurse should start her nursing care based on the patient's trust and his/her exact needs. This research is planned in 5 holistic nursing care meetings in about 30-45 minutes. The research environment is the surgical ward, 24 hours after the surgery. In each session the researcher tries to be in an empathic relationship with the patient in which the patient would trust to the researcher. The intention to improve the patient's needs is the most important antecedent of each therapeutic relationship. Then the patient will release her emotions and tell the researcher about her/his actual needs. In this situation the researcher tries to use the holistic need assessment scale to help the patient to declare all of the needs (physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs). Then the researcher tries to sort the patient's needs from the most important to the less, and design a nursing care plan for the patient according to her/his needs. Simultaneously the researcher gives a self care education application to the patient which has all of the educational contents for the patients with bowel obstruction. The nursing care plan is unique for each patient. The intentional presence meetings will be started at the hospital and continued after discharge during one month at least 2 times in a week. It should be mentioned that the patients would give all of the routine treatments.
