The Effect of Early Mobilization Training on Mobility, Pain and Comfort After Abdominal Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Abdominal Surgery
• Interventions: Other: early mobilization

• Registration Number: NCT05657561
• Lead Sponsor: Eastern Mediterranean University

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to examine the effects of in-bed rotation and early mobilization training given before abdominal surgery on mobility, pain and comfort of patients after surgery. The secondary aim of the study is to examine the effect of mobilization training given before abdominal surgery on the sleep of patients after surgery.

Detailed Description

The primary aim of this clinical trial study is to examine the effects of early mobilization training given before abdominal surgery on mobility, pain and comfort of patients after surgery. The secondary aim of the study is to examine the effect of mobilization training given before abdominal surgery on the sleep of patients after surgery. Research Hypotheses are:

H11. There is a difference between the mobility scores of the patients who were given and not given pre-abdominal surgery training.

H12. There is a difference between the comfort scores of patients who were given and not given pre-abdominal surgery training.

H13. There is a difference between the sleep scores of the patients who were given and not given pre-abdominal surgery training.

First, the patient's mobility status in the preoperative period was evaluated with these scales. "Early Mobilization Training" will be given to the patients in the intervention group in the preoperative period. "Early Mobilization Training Material" to be prepared by the researcher will be used as training material. The training content will include information about the techniques and points to be considered about turning from one side to the other in the bed, sitting on the side of the bed, standing on the side of the bed and walking in the patient's room, and the time spent outside the bed on the day of surgery and the first and subsequent days after surgery.

After the patient's mobilization on the first day after the operation, the Patient Mobility Scale, the Postoperative Mobilization, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questions questioning the pain and comfort during lying and sitting, and sleep status will be filled.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
early mobilization	early mobilization	Patients in the intervention group will be given "Early Mobilization Training" in the preoperative preparation unit in the preoperative period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient Mobility Scale	Change in Baseline Patient mobility score at two days	he level of pain and difficulty experienced during the 4 post-surgical activities (turning from one side of the bed to the other, sitting by the bed, standing up at the bedside, and walking in the patient's room) is evaluated using a 15 cm visual analog with verbal expressions listed at the bottom along the scale.; The numerical value of the degree of pain and difficulty is determined by measuring the distance between the mark on the scale and "0" with a calibrated ruler. An increase in scores indicates an increase in pain and difficulty related to activity. The scores obtained give the patient's mobility score for each activity. The average score value is calculated. Scores for all activities are added together to obtain the global patient mobility score. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0-120.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain level	Change in Baseline Patient pain score at two days	Preoperative and postoperative pain levels of the patients will be measured with the Visual Anolog Scale for pain.The Visual Analog Scale is a self-reported based measurement tool that is often used to measure subjective experiences pain. In this study, Visual Analog Scale for pain was used to make a numerical definition of a participant's pain levels with the participants' self-reports. Numbers between 0-10 were defined on a line, and the participants were asked to indicate the number of pain intensity levels they feel on this line. Participants with no pain scored 0 and extremely pain participants scored 10.
comfort level in bed and while sitting	Change in Baseline comfort score at two days	The comfort level of the patients while turning and sitting in bed will be measured with the Visual Analog Scale for Comfort. In this study, Visual Analog Scale for comfort was used to make a numerical definition of a participant's comfort levels with the participants' self-reports. Numbers between 0-10 were defined on a line, and the participants were asked to indicate the number of comfort intensity levels they feel on this line. Participants with no comfort scored 0 and extremely comfort participants scored 10.
