It is planned to determine the effect of comfort theory-based nursing care on the comfort and pain levels of patients undergoing open heart valve surgery.
Comfort is defined as "an expected result with a complex structure within the physical, psychological, social and environmental integrity of helping the individual with his/her needs, providing peace of mind and being able to overcome problems." In his theory, Kolcaba defined comfort as "an expected result with a complex structure within the physical, psychospiritual, social and environmental integrity of helping the individual with his needs, providing peace of mind and overcoming problems. This situation affects recovery and discharge times. Studies indicate that comfort is one of the most important factors affecting the speed of recovery. The sample size of the study was determined using power analysis. As a result of the Power analysis (G*Power 3.1.9.4); when the effect size was taken as Cohen's d: 0.95, the number of samples determined for a confidence interval of 95%, a power of 95%, and a margin of error of 0.05 was determined as a total of 50 patients, with a minimum of 25 patients for each group (Experimental and Control). Considering the block randomization distributions, the study was completed with 56 patients.
