Condition: Pain, Acute Post-Operative · Anxiety · Chest Tube Removal · Sponsor: Ankara University
This study aims to evaluate the effects of combined reflexology and cold application on pain, anxiety, and physiological parameters in patients undergoing chest tube removal (CTR) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Chest tube removal is an invasive procedure that often causes significant pain and anxiety, which can negatively impact the recovery process. In this randomized controlled trial, patients will be assigned to a combined intervention group (reflexology and cold application) or a control group. The study seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacological nursing interventions to improve patient comfort and reduce complications during the post-operative period.
