The study was canceled because the cost of the tests requested by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency exceeded the project budget

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the sock to be developed with wearable technology for patients who will undergo TUR surgery on the development of hypothermia and VTE. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo TUR surgery between 01 October 2023 and 01 October 2024. patients will be included in the study. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomised controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form". The hypothermia follow-up form includes "Shivering Level Diagnosis Form" and "Temperature Comfort Perception Scale" The descriptive variables of the patients included in the study will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median (maximum-minimum), percentage and frequency. In data analysis; dependent and independent t test will be used when parametric test preconditions are met. Changes in body temperature measurements obtained after wearing socks to be developed with wearable technology, repeated measurements, analysis of variance (Repeated ANOVA) if parametric, Friedman test if non-parametric, and post-hoc test will be used in intra-group multiple comparison analyses as further analysis. Post hoc power analysis will be performed after the sample size reaches 70.

The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomised controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form". The hypothermia follow-up form includes "Shivering Level Diagnosis Form" and "Temperature Comfort Perception Scale" .Control group: Patients will be fitted with antiembolitic socks in the ward, and the control group will be fitted with the same looking socks developed before the patient is sent to the operating theatre and will be removed one day after the operation. In the study, the same-looking socks will be applied to all patients by the same coordinator. Verbal and written permission will be obtained from the patient/relative before the study is started. The data obtained from the patients will be recorded in the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" before TUR.

Study group: In addition to the routine treatment and care practices of the operating theatre, the patients included in the study group will wear antiembolytic socks and a heater sock to be developed with wearable technology. After the patients are fitted with antiembolitic socks in the ward, the socks to be developed with wearable technology will be fitted to the study group before the patient is sent to the operating theatre and will be removed one day after the operation. The socks to be used in the research (socks with the same appearance as the heating socks developed with wearable technology) will be developed by the researchers and a patent application will be made. The socks to be developed with wearable technology in the study will be applied to all patients by the same responsible researcher. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the patient/relative before the start of the study. The data obtained from the patients will be recorded in the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" before TUR. The "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" will be filled in when the patients' vital signs are taken into the operating room, after anaesthesia is given, at the 15th, 30th and 60th minutes of the surgical procedure, at the end of the surgical procedure, when they come to the recovery room, and when they are transferred from the recovery room to the ward.The descriptive variables of the patients included in the study will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median (maximum-minimum), percentage and frequency. In data analysis; dependent and independent t test will be used when parametric test preconditions are met. Changes in body temperature measurements obtained after wearing socks to be developed with wearable technology, repeated measurements, analysis of variance (Repeated ANOVA) if parametric, Friedman test if non-parametric, and post-hoc test will be used in intra-group multiple comparison analyses as further analysis. Post hoc power analysis will be performed after the sample size reaches 70.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Written and verbal permission to participate in the study was obtained,
• Conscious, orientated and co-operative,
• Who speaks and understands Turkish,
• Undergoing TUR surgery,
• Not hypothermic in the preoperative period,
• No peripheral vascular disease,

Exclusion Criteria:

• Written and verbal permission to participate in the research could not be obtained,
• Unconscious, disorientated and uncooperative,
• Speaking Turkish and not understanding it,
• No TUR surgery,
• Hypothermic in the pre-operative period,
• With peripheral vascular disease,
• Allergic to sock material
• Patients with devices that send electric current into the body (pacemaker, etc.)

All datasets will support enriched data to be available and accessible online. Aperta Turkey Open Archive is a platform where data uploads are made by researchers, called a data repository, which can be used free of charge and provides data management, protection and storage. Since publications will be obtained from these data produced during the project, it is planned to be shared in APERTA, the Open Archive of TÜBİTAK, in line with FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and the data will be reused for new research

A total of 70 patients in the sample group determined by randomisation will be divided according to the A and B groups formed by the same statistician in the computer environment. The information that the patients included in the research sample were assigned to group A and B according to the randomisation table will be kept by the consultant, and the socks with and without heating feature will be numbered from 1 to 70 according to the randomisation table and given to the practitioner so that the practitioner will be blinded when he/she does not know which sock has heating feature and which one does not. Thus, patients will be blinded as they do not know which group they are in.
