Overview
Brief Summary
This study aimed to examine the effect of relaxation exercise applied to patients who will undergo elective coronary angiography (CAG) for the first time, on their vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' vital signs.
- Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' anxiety levels.
- Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' comfort levels. Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to see if relaxation exercise is effective.
Before coronary angiography, patients will undergo a relaxation exercise once. Vital signs, comfort and anxiety level will be evaluated before and after angiography.
Detailed Description
Coronary angiography (CAG) is considered the "gold standard" in determining coronary anatomy. And it is used very frequently in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. CAG, which is an invasive procedure, causes anxiety in patients undergoing the procedure. Anxiety leads to negative consequences in vital signs such as increased blood pressure, pulse and respiration rate, and pain intensity. Pain, anxiety and many factors that develop due to invasive procedures such as angiography also reduce the comfort level of patients. Reducing anxiety and pain, preventing negativities in vital signs, and increasing comfort contribute to the success of the procedure, the patient's level of well-being, and satisfaction with health care services. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on patients' vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels in patients undergoing angiography.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
State Anxiety Scale
Time Frame: First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.
The State Anxiety Scale (SAS) shows how an individual feels under certain circumstances at certain times. It consists of 20 items rated on a four-point Likert-type scale ("1: none" to "4: all"). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Vital Signs Follow-up (saturation)(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The Vital Signs Follow-up (for blood pressure)(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The Vital Signs Follow-up (for pulse)(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The Visual Analog Scale(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The General Comfort Scale Short Form(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The Vital Signs Follow-up (for respiration)(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
- The Vital Signs Follow-up (for body temperature)(First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.)
