Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Eligible male and female patients who are willing to participate and will have their radial artery lines removed after open heart surgery will be chosen based on specific inclusion criteria. The requirements are as follows: the patient must be at least eighteen years old, orientated, free of visual or auditory impairments, able to communicate orally in Arabic, having a radial intervention which include the insertion of a single arterial line in the radial region, and not taken analgesics for a minimum of three hours.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The study's exclusion criteria include patients who are unable to communicate due to visual impairment or hearing impairment, as effective communication is essential for data gathering; patients with cognitive disorders; patients experiencing hemodynamic instability, as the implementation of the program necessitates patient compliance; patients with bleeding and hematoma in the radial artery region before arterial line removal; patients with clotting factor disorders; patients with arterial line cutdown; and patients with a documented history of radial disease.
