About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Foot Massage Applied Before a Bronchoscopy Procedure on Physiological Parameters and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Study

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of foot massage on physiological parameters and anxiety in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does foot massage applied before bronchoscopy affect physiological parameters?
  • Does foot massage before bronchoscopy affect anxiety? Patients in the intervention group received foot massage once before bronchoscopy. Patients in the control group did not receive any treatment other than routine care.
Read the detailed description

After the ethics committee and institutional permissions were obtained, patients scheduled for bronchoscopy were evaluated by the researcher for eligibility. First of all, they were informed about the study. Those who agreed to participate and delivered written consent were included in the sample. Individuals were assigned to the intervention and control groups by using block randomization. To prevent interaction between groups, the data collection process of the control group was completed first.A Personal Information Form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a Vital Signs Monitoring Form were used to collect study data. In the control group, data were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (T1), 40 minutes after T1 (T2), and following bronchoscopy (T3). No procedures were applied to the control group other than clinical protocols. After the data collection process of the study was completed, the questions of the patients in the control group were answered.

The data of the intervention group were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage) (T1), 40 minutes after T1 (after the massage) (T2), and following bronchoscopy (T3).

Massage sessions lasted approximately 40 minutes, including 20 minutes for each foot.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. physiological parameters

    systolic blood pressure (mmHg)

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

  2. physiological parameters

    diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

  3. physiological parameters

    heart rate (beats per minute (min-1 or bpm)

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

  4. physiological parameters

    respiratory rate (per minute)

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

  5. physiological parameters

    oxygen saturation (percent (%))

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

  6. anxiety

    The State Anxiety Inventory

    Measured: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

physiological parameters (time frame: The data of the groups were collected during the first arrival of the individuals (before the massage), 40 minutes after the first measurement (after the massage), and following bronchoscopy.). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
