Brief Summary

The study was a single-centre, parallel randomised controlled experimental study conducted with block randomisation method.

Conditions

Pain

Keywords

4-7-8 breathing exercises; gynaecological surgery; pain; complication; vital signs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• vital signs assessment form

  It was created by the researchers and will be used to determine blood pressure, pulse rate, painkiller use and complication development status.

  post-op will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six, eight hours.

• Mcgill Pain Scale Short Form

  The Short Form of the McGill Pain Scale consists of three parts.As the scores increase in this scale, it is seen that the pain level increases.

  post-op will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six, eight hours.

Study Arms (2)

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Women in the control group will receive routine care in the hospital. Vital signs assessment form will be used to evaluate vital signs and development of complications in the first 8 hours of the postoperative period. The 'Mcgill Pain Scale Short Form' form will be used to evaluate the pain of the patients and the pain of the patient will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six and eight hours post-op.

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The women in the experimental group will be taught 4-7-8 breathing exercises before the operation. After making sure that they perform these exercises correctly, the training will be terminated. In order to perform the 4-7-8 exercise correctly and easily, an audible second counting application will be installed on the participants' phones and an hourly reminder alarm will be set. Participants will perform the first exercise with the postoperative nurse and the following exercises by themselves. Participants will be asked to do the exercise four times every hour for the first 8 hours postoperatively. Vital signs assessment form will be used to evaluate vital signs and development of complications in the first 8 hours postoperatively. The 'Mcgill Pain Scale Short Form' form will be used to evaluate the pain of the patients and the patient's pain will be evaluated 4 times in total, at two, four, six and eight hours post-op.

Behavioral: 4-7-8 breathing exercises

Interventions

4-7-8 breathing exercises BEHAVIORAL

Steps of doing 4-7-8 breathing exercise; firstly, the breath taken is exhaled completely through the mouth as if whistling. Then the lips are closed and inhaled quietly through the nose (4 seconds). The breath is held for seven seconds. At the last stage, the lips are tightened and exhaled through the mouth for 8 seconds. Then normal breathing is done for one minute. Breathing is repeated four times every hour.
