The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of foot bath application on pain level, comfort and sleep quality in the postoperative period. H1: Foot baths have a postoperative pain-reducing effect. H2: Foot baths have a postoperative comfort-enhancing effect. H3: Foot baths have a postoperative sleep-improving effect.

Подробное описание

The research will be conducted with the participation of surgical patients who underwent abdominal surgery between December 2025 and December 2026 in the General Surgery Department of Tekirdag University Hospital.
