Brief Summary

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

Postoperative pulmonary complications are common and lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients. These complications are observed especially after major surgical interventions. Breathing exercises performed with or without the use of a device are extremely important in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications. Breathing exercises that increase total lung capacity by encouraging the use of the diaphragm reverse alveolar collapse and postoperative hypoxemia. This study aim to determine the effect of postoperative respiratory exercise diary use in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery on dyspnea, fatigue, respiratory parameters (respiratory rate, SPO2, cough, sputum), early pulmonary complications, spirometry use and functional capacity.The research is planned to be conducted in a single-blind, randomized controlled manner. In the study, 60 patients (30 intervention and 30 control) who underwent major abdominal surgery will be included.Data will be collected using the Patient Introduction Form, Visual Analogue Scale, Medical Research Board Scale, 2-minute walk test, breathing exercise diary and patient follow-up chart.Patients in the intervention and control groups will be visited by the researcher for 3 postoperative days, respiratory parameters, cough, and sputum status will be recorded in the patient follow-up chart, and the use of a respiratory exercise diary will be evaluated.

Study Groups

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

Intervention group

Patients in this group will be asked to perform breathing exercises in the form of using a spirometer 10 times every hour during the preoperative period while they are awake for three days, starting from the first day after the surgery. Patients in this group will be given a breathing exercise diary.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

respiratory exercise diary

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in the intervention group will be asked to perform breathing exercises in the form of using a spirometer 10 times every hour during the preoperative period while they are awake for three days, starting from the first day after the surgery. Patients in this group will be given a breathing exercise diary.

Control group

Patients in this group will not undergo any treatment and will continue to receive care according to their clinical routine. In the clinic, when patients are admitted to the hospital, nurses give them a spirometer during the pre-operative period and it is stated that they should use it before and after the surgery. After the data collection tools are applied to the patients in this group, they will be asked how many times a day they use a spirometry.
