Brief Summary

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

In this study, nurses will apply hand massage to patients who are physically restrained. It will be examined whether massage has a positive effect on patients' skin color, blood circulation, skin temperature and pain. Physical restraint will be applied to patients only in the presence of medical indications and with the decision of a physician.

Research question: Does hand massage applied to patients in physical restraint have an effect on preventing complications related to restraint?

Detailed Description

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

There are 2 groups in the study: experimental and control. Patients in the control group will be subjected to the hospital's routine physical restraint practices and will not receive hand massage.

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

Patients in this group will be subjected to routine monitoring as per the hospital procedure every 30 minutes. In addition, one of the patient's wrists that is under restraint will be opened for 5 minutes every 30 minutes and a hand massage will be applied. The open wrist will be restricted again after the 5 minutes are completed. This application will be repeated every 30 minutes until the total restriction period requested by the physician is completed. During the monitoring performed every 30 minutes, the patient's peripheral capillary refill time, skin integrity, skin color, skin temperature and pain will be evaluated and recorded in the Patient Information and Restriction Monitoring Form.

Study Groups

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

Control group

Patients in this group will be subjected to routine monitoring, which is included in the hospital procedure, every 30 minutes. Routine monitoring includes ensuring physical well-being, taking pulse, feeding, giving water, and meeting toilet needs. Records are kept by the nurse regarding these practices. During monitoring every 30 minutes, the patient's peripheral capillary refill time, skin integrity, skin color, skin temperature, and pain will be evaluated and recorded on the Patient Information and Restriction Monitoring Form.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental group

* Before applying hand massage, the individual/patient's hand or arm will be evaluated for thrombus, phlebitis, ecchymosis, hematoma, deterioration in skin integrity and change in skin color in order to determine whether there is a risk.
* Hand massage application is a massage performed with western technique that includes five basic classical massage manipulations including efflorescence, petrissage, friction, tapotment and vibration.
* Massage should be performed in a way that creates light pressure on the individual, then the applied pressure should be gradually increased.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
