Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Early Mobilization Protocol: The intervention is applied from the first day after surgery until discharge. (including the day of discharge).
Study summary
In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the early mobilization protocol created in accordance with the accelerated recovery guide after surgery in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

Primary outcome measure(s)
The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the number of steps taken daily after surgery — From admission to discharge, up to 1 week The number of steps taken by the participant daily after surgery will be measured via a phone pedometer application (StepsApp).
The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the distance moved after surgery — From admission to discharge, up to 1 week The daily distance moved by the participant after surgery will be measured via a phone pedometer application (StepsApp).
The effect of the ERAS early mobilization protocol on the recovery of the gastrointestinal system after surgery — From admission to discharge, up to 1 week The researcher will record the day the participant first passed gas after surgery and the date of his/her first defecation.
The effect of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) early mobilization protocol on the level of ability to perform daily living activities after surgery — (From admission to discharge, up to 1 week) and (When he comes for a check-up 1 week after discharge) The researcher makes the measurement with the Modified Barthel Index scale. Modified Barthel Index: The highest score is 100, the lowest score is 0. The patient is stated as fully dependent in the range of 0-20 points, highly dependent in the range of 21-61 points, moderately dependent in the range of 62-90 points, slightly dependent in the range of 91-99 points, and fully independent in the range of 100 points. Daily evaluations are made until discharge after surgery.
