Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of reflexology hand massage group and placebo group on pain and anxiety in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Method: Individuals who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery in accordance with the sampling inclusion criteria will be allocated to the reflexology and placebo groups by block randomization using the randomization method. After the groups are determined, the patients in the reflexology hand massage group and placebo group will be asked to fill in the Socio-Demographic Information Form, the State Anxiety Scale and the Visual Analog Scale will be taken.
In addition to the standard nursing care of the hospital, individuals in the reflexology group and placebo group will be massaged for 10 minutes, a total of 20 minutes, after the extubation procedure. Individuals in the reflexology group and placebo group will be followed up before the massage (0. minute) and after the massage at the 5th, 30th and 60th minutes, and the data will be recorded.
Pain and anxiety are common postoperative problems that impair recovery and quality of life in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. These problems cause changes in physiological parameters, prolonged recovery, sleep problems and a decrease in quality of life in patients. Hand reflexology, which is among the non-pharmacological methods, is an effective intervention that nurses can apply independently in the management of pain and anxiety.Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of reflexology on pain and anxiety.
