The Effect of Preoperative Turning in Bed and Mobilization Training on the Postoperative First Mobility

The Effect of Preoperative Turning in Bed and Mobilization Training on the Postoperative First Mobility of Patients Who Will Have Lumbar Disc Surgery

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect on the first mobility of inside bed rotation and mobilization training to patients who will be lumbar disc surgery.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect on the first mobility of inside bed rotation and mobilization training to patients who will be lumbar disc surgery. This study Is a randomized controlled clinical trial. The sample of this study consisted of 40 operated with the diagnosis lumbar disc herniation patients that 19 of which were intervention and 21 of which were control patients between January- November 2019. The patients were taken to the table randomization method in the study. While the patients receiving control treatment received routine clinical care, the patients in the intervention group received in- bed rotation and mobilization training with planned training with planned training one day before the operation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being over the age of 18,
• Being literate in Turkish,
• Being in the ASA(American Society of Anesthesiologists) 1,2 and 3 classification,
• Having surgery for the first time due to lumber disc herniation and volunteering to participate in the research.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having a mental or physical disability to prevent in-bed rotation and mobilization training to be given before surgery,
• to get a score above 16 from the Observer Mobility Scale before surgery.
