Sponsor's own description
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is the process of providing re-oxygenation of the myocardium by anastomosis to the occluded heart coronary with the graft created using certain vessels of the body. After CABG surgery, pain occurs due to thoracic surgical incision, surgical incision in the saphenous vein or radial artery regions for grafting. Pain that is not well managed in the post-operative period also increases the analgesic consumption of the patients. When pain management is inadequate, the patient's recovery process is affected by causing limitation in movements, digestive, circulatory, respiratory system and sleep problems in the postoperative period. Progressive relaxation exercise (PRE) is an application that provides relaxation and relaxation as a result of conscious contraction and relaxation of large muscle groups in the body, and increasing body awareness in the individual. PRE is among the preferred non-pharmacological applications today in terms of being inexpensive, harmless, easily administered by the patient, positively affecting the patient's functions and reducing their complaints. Studies have generally evaluated the effectiveness of pharmacological (analgesic) methods in order to reduce postoperative pain. Although analgesics are indispensable in the management of postoperative pain, they may not always be sufficient to reduce the patient's pain sufficiently. Also, analgesics have some undesirable side effects. For this reason, it is reported that the use of non-pharmacological methods together with pharmacological methods increases the effectiveness of pharmacological methods in order to reduce the pain experienced by the patients after the surgical intervention and to reduce the complaints that occur in the patient due to pain. For this reason, various analgesic combinations and non-pharmacological methods should be used together to reduce postoperative pain. In this direction, PRE has become a technique frequently used and preferred by nurses in pain management in recent years. The PGE technique, developed by Jacobson in 1929, is based on the idea that anxiety-provoking thoughts and events create physiological tension. PGE is the conscious contraction and relaxation of large muscle groups in the body, and noticing the change in between. PGE can be performed one-on-one or as a group in one or several sessions with the help of a CD or audio recorder. It can be applied with musical accompaniment, visual imagery or diaphragmatic breathing to increase its effectiveness. The exercise can be done from head to foot or from foot to head. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on postoperative pain level, sleep quality and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
