简要总结
This study aims to determine the effects of kinesiology taping applied to operating room nurses on lower back pain, fatigue, and sleep quality. The research will be conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The universe of the study will consist of 100 operating room nurses working in a university hospital. The sample size has been calculated as a total of 84 nurses (Intervention group: 42; Control group: 42) based on power analysis calculations. The study will commence after obtaining the necessary permissions. Data collection will involve the use of the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue, and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. Participants who consent to the study will be administered the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue, and Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire before the application of kinesiology tape. Subsequently, a physiotherapist from the research team will apply kinesiology tape to the paravertebral muscles using the muscle technique. As the literature suggests that the most suitable number of days for kinesiology tape application is four, participants will be instructed not to remove the tapes for four days. Additionally, participants will be informed that they can continue their daily activities and shower with the kinesiology tape on. The Visual Analog Scale will be applied to the participants at the end of the workday on the day of the kinesiology tape application and at the end of the workday for four days. At the end of the fourth day, all data collection tools will be applied. Seven days after the application, the scales will be filled out again by the nurses to determine if the effects of the kinesiology tape persist. Participants in the control group who agree to participate in the study will have data collected at the same time intervals as the intervention group participants using the same data collection tools. The Visual Analogue Scale will be administered to participants at the end of the day the data collection tools are filled out and at the end of the workday for four consecutive days. At the end of the fourth day, all data collection tools will be applied again. Seven days after the application, all scales will be refilled by the nurses..

研究组 & 干预措施
Visual Similarity Scale for Fatigue
The 18-item scale developed by Yurtsever and Beduk in 2003, includes two subscales: fatigue and energy. While the items related to fatigue cover the items from 1 to 5 and 11 to 18, the items related to energy are from 6 to 10. Each item is evaluated on a 10 cm long line, from the most positive to the most negative expression or vice versa. High scores on the fatigue subscale and low scores on the energy subscale indicate increased fatigue.
干预措施: Kinesiotape Application (Other)
Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale
This scale evaluates six different factors such as the depth of night sleep, time it takes to fall asleep, frequency of awakenings, time it takes to stay awake, general quality of sleep, and environmental noise level. Each factor is scored between 0 and 100 using a visual analog scale. Scores between "0 and 25" indicate poor sleep quality, while scores between "76 and 100" indicate good sleep quality.
干预措施: Kinesiotape Application (Other)
Introductory Information Form
It is a form prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, including questions such as age, professional experience, number of weekly working days, average daily surgery duration, exercise habits, smoking and alcohol consumption habits, musculoskeletal system problems, operating room conditions and equipment satisfaction.
Visual Analog Skala
VAS is used by having the patient mark the intensity of their pain on a 10 cm ruler ranging from "No pain" to "Unbearable pain".
干预措施: Kinesiotape Application (Other)
Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Scale
Includes a 20-item questionnaire to measure disability experienced during daily life activities. The five-point Likert-type scoring system used in this scale shows that the level of disability is high as the score increases
