Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a treatment method that increases survival rate in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). CABG surgery can create anxiety, fear, pain, fatigue, sleep disorders and physiological dysfunctions in patients. Nurses responsible for the care and treatment of patients use pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods to alleviate the problems that arise. In this context, reflexology within complementary and alternative therapy (CAM) can be applied. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of reflexology applied to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery on pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep and physiological parameters.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the literature, there are a limited number of studies on the effect of reflexology applied on patients undergoing CABG surgery on anxiety and physiological parameters. In addition, no studies on the effect of reflexology on sleep on patients undergoing CABG surgery have been encountered. Anxiety, stress, pain, fatigue, sleep disorders and permanent symptoms may occur in individuals after cardiovascular surgery. It has been determined that with the deterioration in the body system functions and the resulting psychological problems, the blood pressure, heart rhythm and the number of breaths in the individual, respiratory and coughing difficulties due to pain inactivity, body temperature changes, muscle tension, fatigue and even death can occur. With the application of reflexology, the work of the body systems is regulated by providing homeostasis, physiological and psychological relaxation and relaxation are felt with the energy flow that occurs in the body, and toxins are removed from the body. In this study, it is thought that reflexology application to patients undergoing CABG surgery on nursing care will contribute to the nursing literature by examining the effect of reflexology on pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep and physiological parameters. The population of the study will be the patients who underwent CABG surgery in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit and Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Uludağ University Health Practice and Research Center Hospital. The sample will be composed of patients undergoing CABG surgery in Uludag University Health Practice and Research Center Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Department Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit and Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic that meet the inclusion criteria. Data will be collected using Personal Information Form, Physiological Parameters Control Form, Visual Analogue Scale, State Anxiety Scale, Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale. The data obtained from the research will be analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 22.0 program. Number, percentage, average and standard deviation will be used as descriptive statistical methods in the evaluation of the data. The t-test will be used to compare quantitative continuous data between two independent groups. Differences between repeated measurements will be analyzed by repeated measurements ANOVA test.

Study Groups

intervention group

Reflexology was applied to the intervention group during the procedure for 45 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

reflexology practice

Intervention Type OTHER

Reflexology is a reliable and holistic complementary and alternative treatment method that means that the body's specific glands, organs and regions are stimulated by applying a special pressure with the fingers on the hands, feet and ears. When the literature is analyzed, it has been determined that reflexology is applied effectively before, during and after surgery, including different surgical procedures, and it is emphasized that one of the most important areas is patients who underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. In this study, it is thought that reflexology application to patients undergoing CABG surgery on nursing care will contribute to the nursing literature by examining the effect of reflexology on pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep and physiological parameters.

control group

Reflexology was not applied to the control group during the procedure. The control group received standard care and treatment.
