Official title
THE EFFECT OF BENSON AND PROGRESSİVE RELAXATİON TECHNİQUES ON PAİN AND SLEEP QUALİTY İN LOBECTOMY PATİENS
Overview
During lobectomy surgical treatment, thoracotomy is performed on patients, and post-thoracotomy pain is observed. Pain is one of the most common problems in patients and causes serious morbidity. As a result of the pain experienced, changes in sympathetic activity and the release of catecholamines as a result of the stress response lead to many complications, primarily in the cardiovascular, urinary, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. In addition, pain can cause sleep problems in the patient due to the stress response, and the healing process is negatively affected. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of Benson relaxation technique and progressive muscle relaxation exercises on the pain levels and sleep quality of patients who have undergone lobectomy, in relation to the pain and sleep problems experienced in the postoperative period. The main aim of the study is to reveal the effectiveness of these two relaxation techniques in reducing pain and improving sleep quality in the postoperative care process, and to develop recommendations for clinical applications based on the findings obtained.
