Study of Breathing Exercises to Improve Pain and Recovery in Patients After Their First Transplant Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effect of breathing exercises on pain and recovery quality in patients undergoing transplantation. This randomized controlled trial compares an experimental group receiving breathing exercises to a control group receiving routine nursing care. The study aims to understand how these exercises may influence pain levels and recovery quality after surgery. Patients in the experimental group will be trained on breathing exercises by a nurse researcher the day before surgery. After surgery, they will be asked to perform one set of four breaths every hour. Vital signs will be monitored before and after exercises, and patients will be guided to perform exercises gradually. The control group will receive standard post-surgery care without breathing exercise interventions. Participants will have their pain assessed at 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery during a 24-hour hospital stay. The quality of recovery will be measured using a recovery scale on the first and third days after surgery. The study includes monitoring vital signs and pain status, with data collected through forms and scales. Participation lasts through the hospital stay and follow-up days, with no blinding in the trial design.
