Detailed description
It was conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form, Numerical Rating Scale, Physiological Parameters Follow-up Form and General Comfort Scale.The study was conducted in three groups. Individuals in the intervention-1 group were asked to perform breathing exercises with IS in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for 5 days in the postoperative period. Individuals in the intervention-1 group were asked to perform breathing exercises with IS in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for a total of 10 days, 5 days in the preoperative period and 5 days in the postoperative period. Individuals in the control group were given only the routine practice of the clinic.
Interventions
OTHERThe post-surgical breathing exercise group
Individuals in the Intervention-1 group were asked to perform 10 breathing exercises with IS every waking hour in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for 5 days in the postoperative period.
OTHERThe pre- and post- surgical breathing exercise group
Individuals in the Intervention-2 group were asked to perform 10 breathing exercises with IS every waking hour in addition to the routine practices of the clinic for a total of 10 days, 5 days in the preoperative period and 5 days in the postoperative period.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain level | postop 1st and postop 5th day | Evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). NRS is a scale between 0 and 10. |
| Anxiety level | postop 1st and postop 5th day | Evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). NRS is a scale between 0 and 10. |
| Comfort level | postop 1st and postop 5th day | It was evaluated with the General Comfort Scale. The scale is a four-point Likert type and contains a total of 48 items. |
| Partial oxygen pressure (PaO2) | postop 1st and postop 5th day | It is evaluated with a sample taken from arterial blood. |
| Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) | postop 5th day | It is measured with a device called spirometer. |
