The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial and included 44 female patients who had undergone elective gynecological surgery in a hospital in the south of Turkey. The experimental group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 22) was warmed using the passive warming method via a thermal blanket, and the control group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 22) was administered routine care via a cotton pique. The data collection tools included the \u201cPatient Information Form,\u201d the \u201cPatient Follow-Up Form,\u201d the \u201cShivering Level Diagnosis Form,\u201d and the \u201cThermal Comfort Perception Scale.\u201d Patients were warmed passively before (at least 10 minutes) and after surgery (at least 60 minutes) with a thermal blanket or cotton pique according to their groups. Patients\u2019 vital signs and oxygen saturation were recorded during the preoperative and postoperative periods at 15-minute intervals. The patients\u2019 shivering levels were recorded at 15-minute intervals, and chill status and thermal comfort perceptions were recorded at 30-minute intervals during the postoperative period. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. There were no statistically significant differences between the vital signs and oxygen saturation of the intervention and control groups during the first 60 minutes after surgery. The shivering level and coldness of the control group were higher in the postoperative period, but the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. There were no statistical differences between the groups in the time to reach 36.0\u00b0C (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &gt; 0.05). Thermal comfort perception scores during the first 90 minutes were significantly higher in the intervention group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05). The thermal blanket is not superior to the cotton pique used in standard care in maintaining body temperature, but it is effective in increasing thermal comfort perception.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/21537658251371364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,12]],"date-time":"2025-09-12T14:43:13Z","timestamp":1757688193000},"page":"130-138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Thermal Blanket on Patients\u2019 Vital Signs, Shivering Level, Chill Status, and Thermal Comfort Perception in the Preoperative and Postoperative Periods"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"\u0130pek","family":"K\u00f6se Tosun\u00f6z","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fundamentals Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ev\u015fen","family":"Nazik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecologic Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G\u00fclay","family":"\u0130pek \u00c7oban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fundamentals Nursing, Faculty of Nursing, Atat\u00fcrk University, Erzurum, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_1","unstructured":"About Orvewrap+.
