简要总结
Reflexology practice is an effective method in pain control by stimulating the release of endorphins. The study was conducted to determine the effect of foot reflexology applied to patients undergoing abdominal surgery on pain, patient satisfaction and vital signs. The study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner. The population of the study consisted of adult patients who underwent abdominal surgery in a university hospital in Turkey. The sample consisted of 156 patients with the indicated power analysis, including the analysis 78 experimental and 78 controls. Data were collected between October 2020 and May 2021 using Personal Information Form, Numerical Pain Scale, Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale and Vital Signs Registration Form.
详细描述
This study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental setup. This research was conducted in the general surgery clinic of a university hospital in Turkey between October 2020 and May 2021.
The universe of the research; consisted of 261 patients aged 18 years and over who underwent abdominal surgery in the general surgery ward of a university hospital. The G Power 3.1.9.7 computer program was used to calculate the sample size. According to this program, it was determined that a total of 156 patients, 78 patients in each group, should be reached, with an effect size of 0.4, a margin of error of 0.04, a confidence interval of 0.95, and a population representation power of 95%. 57 patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria and 48 patients who did not volunteer to participate in the study were not included in the sample.
Which of the patients included in the study would be in the experimental group and which would be in the control group was made according to the randomization table determined by the web-based random assignment software (RAY). There are two columns in the table as group 1 and group 2. Which column would be in the experimental group and which would be in the control group was determined by drawing lots. As a result of the draw, it was determined that group 1 would be in the control group and group 2 would be in the experimental group. Then, group assignments were made in accordance with the randomization order determined by RAY.
In the collection of data; "personal information form", "numerical pain scale", "newcastle nursing care satisfaction scale" and vital signs registration form were used.
Data were collected by the first researcher by face-to-face interview method between October 2020 and May 2021. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited three days a week and on weekends after surgery.
