NCT05253300

Brief Summary

This study was carried out to determine the effect of placing the semi-recumbent position in reducing pain in patients who developed shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. HO: The application of the semi-recumbent position to patients who develop shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has no effect on reducing pain. H1: The application of semi-recumbent position in patients who develop shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an effect on reducing pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Pain Severity

    Pain evaluated with numerical rating scale (NRS). A numerical rating scale requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable

    arrival time at the clinic (approximately the first two hours postoperatively)

  • Pain Region

    Description of pain region as 1. Right shoulder 2. Left shoulder 3. Both shoulder 4. Back 5. Incision 6. Other

    arrival time at the clinic (approximately the first two hours postoperatively)

  • Pain Severity

Study Arms (2)

Semi Recumbent

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients' vital signs, pain and analgesic drug use were recorded in the "Pain Follow-up Form" at the time they came to the clinic, at the 6th and 12th hours after the surgery, by recording from the end-of-operation file. In case the patient had pain, the time when the pain started was recorded, the experimental group was given the semi-recumbent position with analgesic drug and the patient was asked to maintain this position for 2 hours. If the patient has pain again, this position is given again. "Patient Satisfaction Evaluation Form" was filled in at the 12th hour after the surgery for the patients in the experimental group.

Other: Positioning the patient

Control

NO INTERVENTION

The patients' vital signs, pain and analgesic drug use were recorded in the "Pain Follow-up Form" at the time they came to the clinic, at the 6th and 12th hours after the surgery, by recording from the end-of-operation file. In case the patient has pain, the time when the patients' pain started was recorded, and only analgesic medication was administered to the control group.

Interventions

The patients' vital signs, pain and analgesic drug use were recorded in the "Pain Follow-up Form" at the time they came to the clinic, at the 6th and 12th hours after the surgery, by recording from the end-of-operation file. In case the patient had pain, the time when the pain started was recorded, the experimental group was given the semi-recumbent position with analgesic drug and the patient was asked to maintain this position for 2 hours. If the patient has pain again, this position is given again. "Patient Satisfaction Evaluation Form" was filled in at the 12th hour after the surgery for the patients in the experimental group.
