Study Overview
Brief Summary
It was conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form, Numerical Rating Scale, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and General Comfort Scale.
Detailed Description
It was conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form, Numerical Rating Scale, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and General Comfort Scale.The study was conducted in three groups. Individuals in the intervention-1 group were asked to perform breathing exercises with IS in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for 5 days in the postoperative period. Individuals in the intervention-1 group were asked to perform breathing exercises with IS in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for a total of 10 days, 5 days in the preoperative period and 5 days in the postoperative period. Individuals in the control group were given only the routine practice of the clinic.

Arms & Interventions
The post-surgical breathing exercise group
Individuals in this group were asked to perform 10 breathing exercises with IS every waking hour in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for 5 days in the postoperative period.
Intervention: The post-surgical breathing exercise group (Other)
The pre- and post- surgical breathing exercise group
Individuals in this group were asked to perform 10 breathing exercises with IS every waking hour in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for a total of 10 days, 5 days in the preoperative period and 5 days in the postoperative period.
Intervention: The pre- and post- surgical breathing exercise group (Other)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain level
Time Frame: postop 1st and postop 5th day
Evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). NRS is a scale between 0 and 10.
Partial oxygen pressure (PaO2)
Time Frame: postop 1st and postop 5th day
It is evaluated with a sample taken from arterial blood.
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
Time Frame: postop 5th day
It is measured with a device called spirometer.
Anxiety level
Time Frame: postop 1st and postop 5th day
Evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). NRS is a scale between 0 and 10.
Comfort level
Time Frame: postop 1st and postop 5th day
It was evaluated with the General Comfort Scale. The scale is a four-point Likert type and contains a total of 48 items.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
