Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Bronchoscopy; Anxiety; Physiological Parameters
• Interventions: Other: Foot massage

• Registration Number: NCT06488729
• Lead Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of foot massage on physiological parameters and anxiety in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does foot massage applied before bronchoscopy affect physiological parameters?

* Does foot massage before bronchoscopy affect anxiety? Patients in the intervention group received foot massage once before bronchoscopy. Patients in the control group did not receive any treatment other than routine care.

Detailed Description

After the ethics committee and institutional permissions were obtained, patients scheduled for bronchoscopy were evaluated by the researcher for eligibility. First of all, they were informed about the study. Those who agreed to participate and delivered written consent were included in the sample. Individuals were assigned to the intervention and control groups by using block randomization. To prevent interaction between groups, the data collection process of the control group was completed first.A Personal Information Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a Vital Signs Monitoring Form were used to collect study data. In the control group, data were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (T1), 40 minutes after T1 (T2), and following bronchoscopy (T3). No procedures were applied to the control group other than clinical protocols. After the data collection process of the study was completed, the questions of the patients in the control group were answered.

The data of the intervention group were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage) (T1), 40 minutes after T1 (after the massage) (T2), and following bronchoscopy (T3).

Massage sessions lasted approximately 40 minutes, including 20 minutes for each foot.
