- Brief Summary
This study aims to examine the effect of olfactory mental imagery on physiological parameters, anxiety and symptoms after cardiovascular surgery.
This study was planned to be conducted as a prospective randomized controlled study in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The universe of the research; It will consist of patients who are hospitalized in the cardiovascular surgery service and who have undergone cardiovascular surgery. The sample will consist of a total of 90 patients hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of the same hospital and meeting the inclusion criteria for the study.
Patient Diagnosis Form, Physiological Parameters Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Inventory and Cardiac Surgery Symptom Inventory will be used to collect data. Data will be collected on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 after surgery. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups: intervention (n = 45) and control (n = 45). The intervention group will perform breathing exercises with the olfactory mental imagery technique.

Group Intervention Description Mental Imagery Mental Imagery The Mental Imaging group will receive olfactory mental imagery technique and vagus breathing therapy for 1 hour in the morning and evening on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days after surgery. In addition, the standard care (breathing exercises with Triflo, early walking, frequent position changes in bed) and treatment plan, which are the standard protocol of the Cardiovascular Surgery Service, will be continued by the clinic nurse and physician.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Vital Signs Observation Form First 4 days after surgery In this form; cerebral oxygen saturation value will be evaluated.
State Anxiety Inventory First 4 days after surgery State Anxiety Inventory measures how the individual expresses himself in a momentary situation. The inventory consists of 20 items in total. In this inventory, each item is on a four-point Likert-type scale consisting of '(1) not at all', '(2) a little', '(3) a lot', '(4) completely' and 1. The total score obtained from the inventory varies between 20-80. High scores from the inventory indicate high anxiety.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cardiac Surgery Symptom Inventory Seven days after discharge The inventory consists of 5 subscales: general, cardiac, trunk, lower and upper extremity symptoms. The inventory is in Likert type and is evaluated between 0-4 as "Not at all", "Very little", "Moderate", "A lot", "Quite a lot". The score range to be taken from the inventory varies between 0-140. As scores increase, symptom severity also increases.
