Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aimed to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on the comfort and anxiety levels of patients undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery in the neurosurgery clinic.The study's data was conducted as experimental study on patients who will undergo surgery in the neurosurgery clinic of the Ministry of Health Muammer Ağım Gemlik State Hospital between March 2023 and July 2023. The sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Immobilisation Comfort Scale and State Anxiety Scale were used for data collection. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the t-test for the same and different groups mean and standard deviation, Pearson correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: progressive relaxation exercises group
Behavioral: Progressive relaxation exercise
In this study, the relaxation exercises CD, which is a material created by the Turkish Psychological Association, was used. This CD consists of three parts. The first part consists of 10 minutes and this part explains the definition and purpose of deep relaxation exercise and the points to be considered during the exercise. The second part of the CD consists of 30 minutes of verbal explanation of the items of relaxation exercises accompanied by the sound of a stream. The third part consists of 30 minutes and includes only relaxation music.

Other: Control group: Standart nursing care group
Routine postoperative patient care in the clinic was applied.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comfort
Time Frame: Comfort levels of the patients were measured on the morning of the first postoperative day (before mobilisation)
Measured using the "Immobilisation Comfort Scale". The total scores obtained from the scale vary between 20 and 120, and a high score indicates that the comfort is good.
Comfort levels of the patients were measured on the morning of the first postoperative day (before mobilisation)
Anxiety
Time Frame: postoperative day 1 before patients are mobilised
Measured with "State Anxiety Scale". The state anxiety section of the state trait anxiety scale was used. In the evaluation of the scale, all items are summed and this score is subtracted from the sum of the items marked as reversed and the number 50 is added to the result. The result is the state anxiety score. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is minimum 20 and maximum 80. The increase in the score in this range indicates that the anxiety level of the individual increases.
