Brief Summary

Surgical treatment is applied in 15% of individuals diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of Su Jok application, which is one of the non-drug methods, in reducing or completely eliminating pain and anxiety after lumbar disc surgery and increasing the quality of recovery.The universe of the study, between November 2022 and June 2023, Istanbul Kartal Dr. Patients with lumbar disc surgery will be recruited in the Neurosurgery Clinic of Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital. Data will be obtained with Introductory Information Form, McGill Pain Scale Short Form (SF-MPQ), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS), STAII State Anxiety Scale, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40). The individual who will undergo lumbar disc surgery will be visited in the clinic one day before the surgery and will be informed about the study. The sampled individuals will be included in the intervention and control groups using a random number table created with MS Excel software. Su Jok will be applied to the patients included in the intervention group at the third hour after the operation. Before the application, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40), McGill Pain Scale Short Form and STAII State Anxiety Scale will be administered. After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. On the first and second days after the surgery, the patients will be visited again in the clinic and the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and STAII State Anxiety Scales will be administered before the Su Jok application, and then the Su Jok application will be repeated.After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. Patients will be interviewed again at the control appointment 10 days after discharge, and their quality of recovery will be determined using the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40). In the control group, pain, anxiety and healing quality levels will be determined in the same periods without any application.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The Effect of Su Jok Application on Pain

  Visual Analogue Scale:The Visual Analog Scale is a one-dimensional scale commonly used to measure pain intensity. VAS is a measuring tool with a length of 0-10 cm (0-100 mm).McGill Pain Scale Short Form (SF-MPQ):The scale will be used to determine the qualitative characteristics of pain in the initial pain assessment of patients. Since the aim of the study is to determine the effect of the non-pharmacological method used on existing pain, VAS will be used in the pain assessment before and after the application.Post-Surgery.After Transfer to the Clinic:Patients who have undergone lumbar disc surgery will be visited at the clinic for Su Jok application at the 3rd hour after surgery,Before the Su Jok application, the patient's pain status will be determined with the SF-MPQ15 minutes after the Su Jok application, the patient's pain status will be determined by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). These stages will be applied again on the 1st and 2nd days after the surgery.

• The Effect of Su Jok Application on Anxiety

  State Anxiety Inventory: In our study, the "State Anxiety Inventory" will be used before and after the procedure to evaluate the anxiety levels of the patients in a certain situation.The "State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I)" is a tool that measures how the individual feels at a particular moment and situation, that is, the level of anxiety in that condition. Post-Surgery - After Transfer to the Clinic: Before the Su Jok application, the patient's anxiety status will be determined by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I),For 30 minutes, the point where the seed is fixed will be massaged with the Su Jok technique,15 minutes after the Su Jok application, the patient's pain status will be determined by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I).These stages will be applied again on the 1st and 2nd days after the surgery.

• The Effect of Su Jok Application on Quality of Recovery

  The Quality of Healing-40 Scale (QoR-40) consists of five sub-dimensions and 40 items. The sub-dimensions of the scale are emotional state, physical comfort, patient support, physical independence and pain. with the individual.Post-Surgery - After Transfer to the Clinic:Before the Su Jok application, the quality of recovery of the patient will be determined by the Quality of Healing-40 Scale (QoR-40), which covers 24 hours. These stages will be applied again on the 1st -2nd days after the surgery and Postoperative 10th Day.
