A power analysis determined the inclusion of 159 patients. Quantitative data were collected using the Patient Information Form, FOUR Score, Safe Protocol for Early Postoperative Thirst Management, and Numerical Rating Scale. The qualitative stage involved a descriptive study design, with four open\u2010ended questions informed by the literature. After gathering quantitative data, patients were interviewed by phone, and the qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients' thirst level in the frozen saline and menthol gum group was lower than the control group at all time (Cohen's\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.217, 95% confidence interval 5.43 to 6.35;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.000).
