Core Tip This qualitative study investigates the thirst experience and nursing needs of elderly patients after general anesthesia for gastrointestinal surgery, particularly in the post-anesthesia care unit. The results reveal that patients frequently suffer from intense, persistent thirst, along with emotional distress such as anxiety and irritability. Although some nursing interventions were implemented, they were insufficient in alleviating the discomfort. The findings emphasize the importance of timely, effective nursing support and suggest a multidisciplinary approach to address thirst-related needs, enhancing patient comfort and recovery.
