Brief summary
This research was designed as a pre-test-post-test controlled group randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of breathing exercises applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography for the first time on anxiety. Patients were provided with an informed consent form, a personal information form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. The Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before and after the procedure. In the experimental group, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered before the procedure, and after providing breathing exercise education and application, the Beck Anxiety Scale was completed after the procedure.
Detailed description
This research was designed as a pre-test-post-test controlled group randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of breathing exercises applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography for the first time on anxiety. The study population consisted of SBÜ Kartal Koşuyolu Training and Research Hospital.When statistical power analysis was performed according to the G-Power program in the sample group, a minimum of 34 experimental and a minimum of 34 control groups were used, considering data loss, 76 volunteer patients who met the inclusion criteria were studied. Patients were provided with an informed consent form, a personal information form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. The Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before and after the procedure. In the experimental group, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered before the procedure, and after providing breathing exercise education and application, the Beck Anxiety Scale was completed after the procedure. The 'Dependent Group T-Test' technique was used for the analysis of data obtained from the scales used in the study, comparing pre-test and post-test scores of the intervention and control groups. Also, the 'Independent Group T-Test' was used for separate comparisons of pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control groups.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALBreathing Exercises
The patients in the intervention group scheduled for angiography were administered the Beck Anxiety Scale, and then they underwent conscious, deep breathing exercises along with synchronized breathing training. The face-to-face teaching and application of the breathing exercises took an average of 15-20 minutes. Additionally, routine treatment was applied. For both the intervention and control groups, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered again after the completion of the coronary angiography procedure, once stabilization was achieved.
OTHERno intervention/routine procedure
Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before coronary angiography. No intervention was performed in between. The routine procedure of the hospital continued. Beck Anxiety Scale was administered again after leaving the procedure.

Intervention model description
The study included 2 groups, experimental and control. The patients in the experimental group were administered the beck anxiety scale before coronary angiography. the patients in the experimental group were given breathing exercises by the researcher for 15-20 minutes. the beck anxiety scale was reapplied after the procedure. the patients in the control group were not administered any application and the beck anxiety scale was reapplied after the procedure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Beck Anxiety Inventory | 1 year | Patients who completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory were evaluated based on the scores they provided. The options were scored as follows: 'Not at all' option received 0 points, 'Mild' received 1 point, 'Moderate' received 2 points, and 'Severe' received 3 points. Scores were totaled at the end of the test. The evaluation was explained as follows: 8-15 points = Mild anxiety level 16-25 points = Moderate anxiety level 26-63 points = Severe anxiety level |
