Brief summary
This study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied before mobilization on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Detailed description
This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on pain, anxiety and physiological parameters before mobilization in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Ethics committee and institutional approval were obtained before starting the study. Patients were informed about the study and their verbal and written informed consent was obtained. The study will be conducted in a public hospital in Istanbul with 68 patients (experimental group = 34, control group = 34) who met the research criteria and underwent CABG surgery. The patients in the experimental group will be given progressive relaxation exercises twice at 6-hour intervals on postoperative day 1 and day 2. Patients in the control group will receive routine treatment and care. Physiological parameters, pain, and anxiety levels will be evaluated twice daily on postoperative days 1 and 2 in both groups.It was also stated that a smart wristband should be worn on the arms of the patients on postoperative days 1 and 2 to monitor the frequency of mobilization in both the experimental and control groups. In addition, the frequency of analgesic use will be monitored.
Interventions
OTHERProgressive relaxation exercises
The aim of relaxation exercises is to help individuals recognize the difference between tension and relaxation and to enable them to relax in situations of stress. These exercises are performed with light background music and verbal instructions, allowing patients to mentally focus on the process. The progressive relaxation technique involves the voluntary contraction and subsequent relaxation of muscle groups, typically starting from the hands and progressing to the feet, with each muscle group activated in sequence. During the exercise, the instructions and steps from the 'Relaxation Exercises' CD published by the Turkish Psychologists Association will be followed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Descriptive Characteristics Form | Preoperative | The first part includes questions about demographic characteristics such as gender, age, body mass index (height-weight), marital status, education level, income level and occupation, and the second part includes questions about other chronic diseases, previous surgery, previous stay in the intensive care unit, smoking and alcohol use. |
| Physiological parameters monitoring | Postoperative Day 1:(measured twice, 6-hour apart): Control: Pre-test, 30 min later, 15 min post-mobilization Experimental: Pre-test, 5 min post-PGE, 15 min post-mobilization. Postoperative Day 2: Both groups:Same measurements at 6-hour intervals, twice | Physiological parameters will be monitored. |
| State Anxiety Inventory | Postop Day 1:(measured twice, 6-hour apart): Control: Pre-test,30 minutes after,15 min post-mobilization.Experimental: Pre-test, 5 minutes after PGE, 15 min post-mobilization.Postoperative Day 2: Both groups:Same measurements at 6-hour intervals, twice | It is used to determine how the individual feels right now and the items of the scale are scored between 1-4 points (1=not at all, 2=somewhat, 3=very much, 4=completely). |
| Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire | Postop1:Measured twice at 6h:Control:Pre-test, 30 min later, post-mobilization vas, 15 min post-mobilization. Experimental: Pre-test, 5 min post-PGE, post-mobilization vas, 15 min post-mobilization.Postop2: Both groups:Measured twice at 6-hour intervals | The scale consists of three parts in which the nature of pain, intensity of pain and overall pain intensity are evaluated. |
| Trait Anxiety Inventory | Preoperative | The Trait Anxiety Inventory is used to determine how the individual usually feels and the items of the scale are scored between 1-4 points (1=almost never, 2=sometimes, 3=very often, 4=almost always). There are 7 reversed statements in the trait anxiety subscale (items 21, 26, 27, 30, 33, 36 and 39). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Analgesia monitoring form | Postoperative day 1 and 2 | In this form prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, the name, dose, time and route of administration will be recorded in case of analgesic use of the patients. |
| Mobilization Schedule | Postoperative day 1 and 2 | Mobilization will be assessed on postoperative days 1 and 2 based on the number of steps taken, distance covered, and relevant features of the mobilization process. |
