Brief Summary

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

Patients suffering from Acute coronary syndrome may be hospitalized again in a shorter time than expected, and after being discharged, they may live within the limitations imposed by the disease until the end of their lives. This situation causes anxiety in individuals. Today, various methods are used to reduce high levels of anxiety. Massage is the planned and purposeful application of touch and is the most common, most important and oldest complementary treatment used in traditional practices. It is also thought that the comfort levels of individuals experiencing ACS will increase by reducing their anxiety. This study was planned to determine the effect of hand massage applied to patients with ACS on comfort, anxiety level and vital signs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

intervention group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

hand massage group

Intervention Type OTHER

Each individual will receive a 10-minute hand massage, 5 minutes for each hand. Since the speed and number of repetitions of the massage movements should be at normal frequency, the massage will be performed at a speed that does not disturb the individual, is not stimulating and has a calming effect, and will not tire the practitioner. In the massage, effleurage (stroking) and friction (circular rubbing) movements will be used, which have a circulation-supporting and tissue-relaxing effect. Evaluations will be made within 30 minutes after the hand massage.
