• Conditions: Pain

• Registration Number: NCT06725316
• Lead Sponsor: Gazi University

Brief Summary

The study was a single-centre, parallel randomised controlled experimental study conducted with block randomisation method.

Detailed Description

In determining the sample of the research, power analysis was performed and it was planned to have a total of 62 participants, with 31 participants in each group.Women undergoing gynaecological operations will be recruited in the order of hospitalisation according to the block randomisation method. The letters A and B in the blocks will be determined as experimental or control according to the coin flip method. One of the researchers will evaluate the participants according to the inclusion criteria and randomly assign them according to the block order after obtaining their informed consent. One of the researchers in this study will carry out the application. The other researchers will be blinded. The data obtained will be analysed by an independent statistician. Participant blinding will not be performed since the participants were informed about the study in informed consent. Descriptive Information Form, Mcgill Pain Scale Short Form (Biçici, 2010) and Vital Signs Assessment Form to evaluate vital signs and mobilisation will be used for data collection.Women who applied to the hospital due to benign gynaecological disorders and underwent laparoscopic surgery will first be evaluated whether they are eligible for the study according to the inclusion criteria evaluation form. Afterwards, women who are eligible to participate in the study will be randomly assigned by an independent researcher to determine whether they are in the experimental or control group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
vital signs assessment form	post-op will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six, eight hours.	It was created by the researchers and will be used to determine blood pressure, pulse rate, painkiller use and complication development status.
Mcgill Pain Scale Short Form	post-op will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six, eight hours.	The Short Form of the McGill Pain Scale consists of three parts.As the scores increase in this scale, it is seen that the pain level increases.
