简要总结
This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental research design to examine the effect of foot reflexology applied to nurses working in the intensive care unit on stress, fatigue and low back pain.
详细描述
The universe of the research consisted of a total of 90 nurses working in a university and a public hospital in a city. Among the nurses, those who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study will form the sample. Assignment to the intervention and control group will be determined in the computer environment using a simple randomization method (www.randomizer.org/). The number of samples was determined using power analysis. It was decided to recruit a total of 42 nurses, 21 for each group.

结局指标
主要结局
pain severity
时间窗: pre test
measurement of nurses' low back pain severity score A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales. VAS pain score is evaluated as "painless" (score=0) and "worst pain" (score=10). score \<3 mild pain, 3-6 mild-to-moderate pain, and \>6 moderate-to-severe pain
fatique
时间窗: pre test
The fatigue severity scale There are 9 questions in the scale and each question consists of 7 points. An increase in the scale score indicates an increase in the level of fatigue. The scale determines the fatigue status of individuals in the last 1 month. Questions are scored as I totally disagree (1)- I totally agree. If the average score is 5 and above, it is considered as "fatigue".
stress
时间窗: pre test
Perceived Stress Scale ; There are 14 items in the scale, which was developed as a five-point Likert-type rating scale. The scale consists of "never (0), almost never" (1), "sometimes" (2), "often" (3) "very often" (4). The lowest and highest scores a participant can obtain from this scale are 0 and 56, respectively.
