This study aims to investigate the effects of diaphragm relaxation technique on sleep quality and respiratory functions in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Two groups will be formed in the study: one group will receive standard cardiac rehabilitation, while the other group will receive diaphragm relaxation technique in addition to this.
Throughout the study, patients' respiratory functions, sleep quality, respiratory muscle strength, and pain levels will be measured. These measurements will be taken from the patients...
This study is an interventional research investigating the effects of the diaphragm release technique on sleep quality and respiratory functions in patients undergoing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention or a control group. Both groups will receive standard in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation, while the intervention group will additionally receive the diaphragm release technique during their hospital stay.
Data will be collected using standardized tools, including pulmonary function tests (spirometry), respiratory muscle strength measurements, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and visual analog scales for pain assessment. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants, and the study will be conducted at Gaziantep Sanko University Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Unit in accordance with ethical committee approval.
The aim of this research is to develop a safe and effective method to improve respiratory health and quality of life in patients after cardiac surgery.

This is a two-arm interventional study designed to evaluate the effects of the diaphragm release technique on post-operative respiratory function and sleep quality in patients undergoing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Participants will be assigned to either:
Intervention Group: Receives standard in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation plus diaphragm release technique during hospitalization (minimum 5 days).
Control Group: Receives standard in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation only. The study follows a prospective, controlled design, with all interventions delivered according to a standardized protocol. Outcomes, including pulmonary function tests, respiratory muscle strength, sleep quality, and pain scores, will be measured at baseline and throughout the hospital stay. Data will be analyzed to compare the physiological and clinical effects between the two groups.
