Effect of Breathing Exercise on Pain and Quality of Recovery in After Transplantation Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University
Summary
The researchers will fill out the "Patient Introduction Form" for the patients who agreed to participate in the study after obtaining permission from the experimental group with the "Informed Consent Form" the day before the surgery. The breathing exercises will be taught and monitored by the researchers, and the researcher who will implement them is a nurse in the general surgery department. The experimental group will be trained on breathing exercises by the researcher the day before the surgery. The patients will be provided with 1 set (4 breaths) per hour of breathing exercises after the surgery. The patient's vital signs will be monitored before and after the breathing exercise. Patients will not have difficulty during the breathing exercise, and they will be provided with gradual interventions. Pain status will be monitored at 0, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours during the 24-hour hospital stay. The recovery quality scale will be applied on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery. In the control group, after obtaining permission with the "Informed Consent Form" the day before the surgery, the patients who agreed to participate in the study will fill out the "Patient Introduction Form" by the researchers, and their pain status will be monitored at 0, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours during the 24-hour hospital stay after the surgery. The recovery quality scale will be applied on the 1st and 3rd day after surgery. No intervention will be made to the patients in the control group, and they will be provided with routine nursing care provided in the hospital.

Interventions
respiratory exercise
The experimental group will be trained on respiratory exercises by the researcher the day before the surgery. The patients will be asked to perform the post-operative respiratory exercises as 1 set (4 breaths) per hour. The patient's vital signs will be monitored before and after the respiratory exercise. Patients will not have difficulty during the respiratory exercise, they will be asked to do it gradually.
