Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of postoperative progressive relaxation exercises (PRE) on pain, anxiety, and physiological parameters among adult patients undergoing emergency general surgery. Seventy patients were randomized to either a PRE intervention delivered at postoperative hour 6, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2, or to routine postoperative care. Pain (SF-MPQ), anxiety (STAI), and vital signs were measured. The trial demonstrated that PRE significantly reduced multidimensional pain and anxiety and improved heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. The study provides novel evidence that PRE is feasible and effective when implemented exclusively in the postoperative period among emergency surgical patients.
