Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of using motivational cards on pain and step counts in patients who underwent open prostate surgery due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.The main hypotheses are:

H1: Patients who use motivation cards during mobilization after open prostate surgery have lower pain levels than those who do not. H2: Patients who used motivation cards for mobilization after open prostate surgery had a higher number of steps than those who did not use them. After the surgery, patients were asked to walk with a pedometer. A mobilization motivation card was used in the study group.

Detailed Description

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

The group distribution of the patients was made using the Random Allocation Software (Version 2.0.0) program and the patients were divided into two groups: the study group and the control group.

The patients were visited by the researcher in their rooms on the morning of the day they were scheduled for surgery, and the purpose of the study was explained to the patients. Verbal and written consent was obtained from those who agreed to participate in the study, and it was explained to the patients that they would be visited again at their bedsides the day after surgery.

The Visual Pain Scale was created to assess the severity of pain. A score of '0' at the left end of the line indicates no pain, and a score of '10' at the right end indicates unbearable pain. In this study, patients were asked to mark the severity of the pain they were experiencing on a scale. The research nurse visited the patient in the service rooms before they were transferred to the operating room to make the first assessment in the study group, and the purpose of the study was explained to the patient. Patient introduction form, pedometer and mobilization motivation card were introduced to the patient. The patient was informed that they would be visited at 10:00 a.m. on the first day after the surgery to mobilize the patient. On the morning of the first day after surgery, the patient's pain status was determined with the Visual Pain Scale. The patient's vital signs were checked and the pedometer was placed on the lumbar region. The patient was mobilized according to the mobilization stage. The number of steps after the first mobilization was recorded on the mobilization motivation card and the card was hung at the bedside. The researcher nurse was informed that he would be visited again in 1 hour and these stages were repeated 3 times.

In the control group, the first evaluation was made by the researcher nurse. Patient introduction form, pedometer were introduced to the patient. On the morning of the first day after surgery, the patient's pain status was determined with the Visual Pain Scale. The patient's vital signs were checked and the pedometer was placed on the lumbar region. The patient was mobilized according to the mobilization stage. The number of steps after the first mobilization was recorded on the mobilization motivation card but was not given to the patient. The researcher nurse informed that he would be visited again in 1 hour and these stages were repeated 3 times.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The research will be conducted using randomized controlled, experimental type and single-blind research methods. For this purpose, after the data are collected, they will be coded as A and B groups, so the researcher who will make the research statistics will analyze the data without knowing the study and control groups. Randomization method will be used to determine the groups. For this, the patients who meet the study criteria and volunteer will be assigned to the groups using the randomization program 'Random Allocation Software 2.0' according to the order of hospitalization.
Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

The data analyse is going to be completed by a independent researcher.

Study Groups

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

Experimental: Experimental (with Card)

In this procedure, patients used a pedometer and mobilization motivation card during their mobilization on the first postoperative day.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobilization Motivation Card

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

On the morning of the surgery, the Mobilization Motivation Card and Pedometer will be introduced and the patient will be informed. On the morning of the first postoperative day, before the patient's first mobilization, pain assessment will be made with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Mobilization Motivation Card will be hung at the bedside during the day and will help increase the patient's participation in mobilization. Later, after a pedometer is attached to the patient's waist, the patient will be mobilized.

No Intervention: Standard (No Card)

In this procedure, patients used a pedometer during their mobilization on the first postoperative day. They did not use a mobilization motivation card.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Mobilization Motivation Card

On the morning of the surgery, the Mobilization Motivation Card and Pedometer will be introduced and the patient will be informed. On the morning of the first postoperative day, before the patient's first mobilization, pain assessment will be made with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Mobilization Motivation Card will be hung at the bedside during the day and will help increase the patient's participation in mobilization. Later, after a pedometer is attached to the patient's waist, the patient will be mobilized.
