Brief Summary

This study aimed to examine the effect of relaxation exercise applied to patients who will undergo elective coronary angiography (CAG) for the first time, on their vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. 1.Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' vital signs.
2. 2.Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' anxiety levels.
3. 3.Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' comfort levels. Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to see if relaxation exercise is effective.

Conditions

Muscle Relaxation; Coronary Artery Disease

Keywords

Anxiety; coronary angiography; patient comfort; progressive relaxation exercise; vital signs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• State Anxiety Scale

  The State Anxiety Scale (SAS) shows how an individual feels under certain circumstances at certain times. It consists of 20 items rated on a four-point Likert-type scale ("1: none" to "4: all"). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating more anxiety.

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• The General Comfort Scale Short Form

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

• The Vital Signs Follow-up (for blood pressure)

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

• The Vital Signs Follow-up (for pulse)

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

• The Vital Signs Follow-up (for respiration)

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

• The Vital Signs Follow-up (saturation)

  First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.

Study Arms (2)

Progressive muscle relaxation

EXPERIMENTAL

The researcher provided the intervention group participants face-to-face training on progressive relaxation exercises (PREs) at the first hospitalization. She had developed "A Guide to Progressive Relaxation Exercises" based on a literature review. The guide consisted of 22 steps. After the briefing, the researcher asked each intervention group participant to perform the PREs with voice instructions. The study continued with participants who performed the PRE steps correctly. While the participant was performing PREs, the researcher guided her verbally in line with the guide. After the nurse teaches the PRE technique once, the individual can apply it. Progressive relaxation exercises are performed for about 15-30 minutes.

Behavioral: Progressive muscle relaxation

Control

NO INTERVENTION

In this group, participant were assessed without any other intervention.

Interventions

Progressive muscle relaxation BEHAVIORAL

This intervention consists of two parts. The first part gives short information about the content and how exercises should be done. It consists of information about deep relaxation. In the second part, there are relaxation exercises accompanied. Both the briefing and the intervention lasted 30 minutes for each patient.
