简要总结
This study will be conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects of pranayama breathing technique and deep breathing exercises on pain and anxiety after abdominal surgery.
详细描述
Abdominal surgeries often present with significant pain and the need for analgesia, and inadequate pain control can lead to delayed wound healing, cognitive impairment, stress, and anxiety. Surgical patients frequently experience anxiety and moderate to severe pain during the perioperative period. Non-pharmacological methods provide significant support to pharmacological treatments during this period. Pranayama and deep breathing exercises stand out as effective methods that promote relaxation and reduce pain perception and anxiety. While the literature supports the positive effects of these techniques, studies on their use after abdominal surgery are limited. This research aims to fill this gap and demonstrate the benefits of non-pharmacological approaches in postoperative care.

Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory:
时间窗: 5 months
Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory: First developed by Spielberger and his colleagues in 1970, it was adapted into Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1982), and its validity and reliability studies were conducted. This inventory consists of two subsections, each containing 20 items: State Anxiety (STAI-I) and Trait Anxiety (STAI-II). In the state anxiety section, participants select one of the following options: "not at all," "a little," "a lot," or "completely." In the trait anxiety section, participants respond with the following options: "almost never," "sometimes," "most of the time." The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80; higher scores indicate higher anxiety levels. In the study conducted by Günaydın and Oflaz (1998), anxiety scores were classified according to their levels and defined as 20-39 as "mild", 40-59 as "moderate", 60-79 as "high" and over 80 points as "panic level anxiety".
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 5 months
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was designed in 1983 by Price and colleagues to assess pain intensity. This measurement tool consists of a 10-cm-long straight line with the words "no pain" at one end and "unbearable pain" at the other. The patient is asked to mark a point on the line corresponding to the intensity of the pain they are experiencing; this point is scored in centimeters from the beginning. The score is categorized as no pain for 0, mild for 1-4, moderate for 5-6, severe for 7-8, and extreme pain for 10.
