Brief Summary

This research was designed as a pre-test-post-test controlled group randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of breathing exercises applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography for the first time on anxiety. Patients were provided with an informed consent form, a personal information form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. The Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before and after the procedure. In the experimental group, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered before the procedure, and after providing breathing exercise education and application, the Beck Anxiety Scale was completed after the procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Beck Anxiety Inventory

  Patients who completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory were evaluated based on the scores they provided. The options were scored as follows: 'Not at all' option received 0 points, 'Mild' received 1 point, 'Moderate' received 2 points, and 'Severe' received 3 points. Scores were totaled at the end of the test. The evaluation was explained as follows: 8-15 points = Mild anxiety level 16-25 points = Moderate anxiety level 26-63 points = Severe anxiety level

EBECA

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients in the intervention group scheduled for angiography were administered the Beck Anxiety Scale, and then they underwent conscious, deep breathing exercises along with synchronized breathing training. The face-to-face teaching and application of the breathing exercises took an average of 15-20 minutes.

Behavioral: Breathing Exercises

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

For the patients in the control group who were scheduled for angiography, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered face-to-face before the procedure, and they were then sent for the procedure after receiving routine treatment without any additional intervention.

Other: no intervention/routine procedure

Interventions

Breathing Exercises BEHAVIORAL

The patients in the intervention group scheduled for angiography were administered the Beck Anxiety Scale, and then they underwent conscious, deep breathing exercises along with synchronized breathing training. The face-to-face teaching and application of the breathing exercises took an average of 15-20 minutes. Additionally, routine treatment was applied. For both the intervention and control groups, the Beck Anxiety Scale was administered again after the completion of the coronary angiography procedure, once stabilization was achieved.

EBECA

no intervention/routine procedure OTHER

Beck Anxiety Scale was administered to the control group before coronary angiography. No intervention was performed in between. The routine procedure of the hospital continued. Beck Anxiety Scale was administered again after leaving the procedure.

Model Details: The study included 2 groups, experimental and control. The patients in the experimental group were administered the beck anxiety scale before coronary angiography. the patients in the experimental group were given breathing exercises by the researcher for 15-20 minutes. the beck anxiety scale was reapplied after the procedure. the patients in the control group were not administered any application and the beck anxiety scale was reapplied after the procedure.
