Summary

After coronary angiography, back pain and comfort levels were measured while the intervention group was positioned and the control group was not positioned

Detailed description

Patients were assigned to the control and intervention groups by the minimization method. Data were collected using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and a Patient Introduction Form to assess the pain and comfort levels of the patients. Prior to the starting the research, the necessary permissions were obtained from the institution where the study was conducted, from the patients and the ethics committee. In the analysis of data, frequency and percentage values, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the normal distribution of continuous variables, chi-square for comparisons of qualitative variables, two-way analysis of variance for comparison of repeated measurements of pain and comfort scores according to groups, and the relationship between two continuous variables were evaluated with the Pearson correlation coefficient. p\<0.05 was considered statistically significant. IBM SPSS Statistics 23 package program was used for the analysis of the date. The intervention group was hospitalized in supine position after coronary angiography. The first measurement was taken when the patient was placed in bed after the procedure, and the Patient Introduction Form and VAS for comfort and pain were applied (Hour 0). Following the withdrawal of the mattresses, the patient was given the semi-fowler position. VAS was applied at the 2nd and 4th hours after the positioning. Patients in the control group were placed to bed in the supine position in accordance with the routine practice of the clinic at the exit of coronary angiography and were allowed to stay in this position for six hours. When the patients were put to in bed, the Patient Introduction Form, VAS were applied for comfort and pain (0. hour). VAS was applied at the 2nd and 4th hours following the removal of the mattresses. Patients' back pain and comfort were evaluated, and the results were recorded on the relevant forms.
