Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to examine the effect of relaxation exercise applied to patients who will undergo elective coronary angiography (CAG) for the first time, on their vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' vital signs.
2. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' anxiety levels.
3. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' comfort levels. Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to see if relaxation exercise is effective.

Before coronary angiography, patients will undergo a relaxation exercise once. Vital signs, comfort and anxiety level will be evaluated before and after angiography.

Detailed Description

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

Coronary angiography (CAG) is considered the "gold standard" in determining coronary anatomy. And it is used very frequently in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. CAG, which is an invasive procedure, causes anxiety in patients undergoing the procedure. Anxiety leads to negative consequences in vital signs such as increased blood pressure, pulse and respiration rate, and pain intensity. Pain, anxiety and many factors that develop due to invasive procedures such as angiography also reduce the comfort level of patients. Reducing anxiety and pain, preventing negativities in vital signs, and increasing comfort contribute to the success of the procedure, the patient's level of well-being, and satisfaction with health care services. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on patients' vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels in patients undergoing angiography.

Study Groups

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

Progressive muscle relaxation

The researcher provided the intervention group participants face-to-face training on progressive relaxation exercises (PREs) at the first hospitalization. She had developed "A Guide to Progressive Relaxation Exercises" based on a literature review. The guide consisted of 22 steps. After the briefing, the researcher asked each intervention group participant to perform the PREs with voice instructions. The study continued with participants who performed the PRE steps correctly. While the participant was performing PREs, the researcher guided her verbally in line with the guide. After the nurse teaches the PRE technique once, the individual can apply it.

Progressive relaxation exercises are performed for about 15-30 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Progressive muscle relaxation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This intervention consists of two parts. The first part gives short information about the content and how exercises should be done. It consists of information about deep relaxation. In the second part, there are relaxation exercises accompanied. Both the briefing and the intervention lasted 30 minutes for each patient.

Control

In this group, participant were assessed without any other intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
