NCT05705908

Brief Summary

One of the most common problems in patients in the postoperative period is pain and the associated deterioration in sleep quality. Deterioration in sleep quality can cause pain to be perceived more severely. It is recommended to use non-pharmacological approaches as well as pharmacological interventions in the management of these problems. This study was planned to determine the effect of hot foot bath and lavender essential oil foot bath application on postoperative sleep quality and pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change between Post-operative Pain Score

    The Pain scale - VAS scale consists of a 10 cm long line. At one end of the line, "no pain" signals what may be at the other end of the "unbearable pain." The patient is asked to point to a point that indicates the current level of pain. The difference between pain scores over 3 days will be evaluated in hospital Patient's pain was evaluated with VAS - 14 times after surgery. Immediately after surgery means 0th hour. These times; post-operative 24th hour, 28th hour, 32nd hour, 36th hour, 40th hour, 44th hour, 48th hour, 52nd hour, 56th hour, 58th hour, 62nd Hour, 64th Hour., 68th Hour, 72nd Hour. It will be measured for the last time at 72 hours and data collection will be finished here

    Post-operative Change between Pain Score; 24th hour, 28th hour, 32nd hour, 36th hour, 40th hour, 44th hour, 48th hour, 52nd hour, 56th hour, 58th hour, 62nd Hour, 64th Hour, 68th Hour, 72nd Hour (data collection will be finished here)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change between Sleep Scale Score

    Post-operative change between sleep scale score; 24th Hour, 48th Hour, 72th Hour (data collection will be finished here)
