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.

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.
