Summary

This study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied before mobilization on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Detailed description

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters before mobilization in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Ethics committee and institutional approval were obtained before starting the study. Patients were informed about the study and their verbal and written informed consent was obtained. The study will be conducted in a public hospital in Istanbul with 68 patients (experimental group = 34, control group = 34) who met the research criteria and underwent CABG surgery. The patients in the experimental group will be given progressive relaxation exercises twice at 6-hour intervals on postoperative day 1 and day 2. Patients in the control group will receive routine treatment and care. Physiological parameters, pain, and anxiety levels will be evaluated twice daily on postoperative days 1 and 2 in both groups.It was also stated that a smart wristband should be worn on the arms of the patients on postoperative days 1 and 2 to monitor the frequency of mobilization in both the experimental and control groups. In addition, the frequency of analgesic use will be monitored.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Progressive relaxation exercises	The aim of relaxation exercises is to help individuals recognize the difference between tension and relaxation and to enable them to relax in situations of stress. These exercises are performed with light background music and verbal instructions, allowing patients to mentally focus on the process. The progressive relaxation technique involves the voluntary contraction and subsequent relaxation of muscle groups, typically starting from the hands and progressing to the feet, with each muscle group activated in sequence. During the exercise, the instructions and steps from the 'Relaxation Exercises' CD published by the Turkish Psychologists Association will be followed.
