Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Design-Setting: This was an experimental, randomized controlled trial. This study was conducted at the Gynecology Service of Oncology Training and Research Hospital.
Participants: A total of 132 women, divided into 4 groups of 33 subjects each, were included.
Methods: The sampling size was calculated with G\*Power Ver.3.1.9.2 computer software. A total of 132 women, 33 of whom were in kinesio taping group, 33 in breathing exercise group, 33 in kinesio taping + breathing exercise group, and 33 in the control group, who matched the sampling selection criteria, were included in the study. In randomization, a table of numbers was created, and an equal number of women were assigned to groups with four block patterns. Women underwent gynecological abdominal operation were assigned to the groups randomly, depending on the application of two different methods of kinesio taping and breathing exercise. No intervention was applied to the women in the control group.
The personal information form was filled for each individual, who agreed to participate in the study, before the procedure.
Outcome Measures Pain scores of the women in all groups before, and after the procedure were evaluated by the researcher independent from each other using Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Intervention Protocol of the Study Kinesio Taping (KT) Group In the study, kinesio taping method was applied immediately after the surgical operation. The tape was applied on one centimeter above and one centimeter below the incision site with a 25% tension in web cutting technique. In order to facilitate gas passing and defecation, the tape was applied around the navel in the Y shape with a 25% tension. No tension was applied to the starting and ending points of the tape. Kinesio tape remained on women for 72 hours.
Breathing Exercises (BE) Group Before the surgery, researchers informed the women about the purpose and benefits of breathing exercises and showed the how to perform them. Breathing exercises were performed 3 times a day for 30 minutes on the first, second and third days. 15 minutes of exercises were done while sitting and in a comfortable position and 15 minutes while mobilizing.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is thought to remove the barriers that slow the healing process, activate neurological suppression and reduce pain (El-Refayea, El Nahasa \& Ghareebb, 2016; Kamali, Sinaei \& Taherkhan, 2018). Kinesio tape stimulates cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Mechanoreceptors decrease sympathetic nervous system activity and increase parasympathetic activity, which can improve intestinal control (Azam, 2017; Szczegielniak, Krajczy, Bogacz, Luniewski \& Sliwinski, 2007). Kinesio taping changes skin contours and accelerates blood flow. Increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the area. This phenomenon contributes to the natural healing process (Kafa et al., 2015).
Kinesio Taping
In the study, kinesio taping method was applied immediately after the surgical operation. The tape was applied on one centimeter above and one centimeter below the incision site with a 25% tension in web cutting technique (Figure 1.). In order to facilitate gas passing and defecation, the tape was applied around the navel in the Y shape with a 25% tension (Figure 2). No tension was applied to the starting and ending points of the tape. Pain level was evaluated with VAS before and after 45 minutes of tape application. Pain level was evaluated by VAS on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd postoperative day. Kinesio tape remained on women for 72 hours.
Breathing Exercise
Breathing exercise is accepted as a key to relaxation or cooling down (El-Refayea et al., 2016). It is stated that breathing exercises reduce anxiety by preventing the transmission of pain messages to the spinal cord (Rejeh et al., 2013), reducing the catecholamine response (Rakel \& Herr, 2004) and muscle tension by distracting subjects (Kelle, Güzel \& Sakallı, 2016).
Breathing Exercise
Before the surgery, researchers informed the women about the purpose and benefits of breathing exercises and showed the how to perform them. Breathing exercises were performed 3 times a day for 30 minutes on the first, second and third days. 15 minutes of exercises were done while sitting and in a comfortable position and 15 minutes while mobilizing. Pain levels of women were evaluated with VAS before and after 30 minutes of breathing exercises.
Kinesio Taping and Breathing Exercise
According to the application protocols, two applications were made together.
Kinesio Taping+Breathing Exercise
In the study, kinesio taping method was applied immediately after the surgical operation. . Pain level was evaluated with VAS before and after 45 minutes of tape application.Breathing exercises were performed 3 times a day for 30 minutes on the first, second and third days. 15 minutes of exercises were done while sitting and in a comfortable position and 15 minutes while mobilizing. Pain levels of women were evaluated with VAS before and after 30 minutes of breathing exercises.
