About this study

Official title: Effect of Swedish Hand Massage on Pain in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery is performed commonly today. Heart surgery performed on more than two million individuals every year leads patients experience severe postoperative pain for causes such as cutting of intercostal nerves along the incision line, pleural irritation caused by thoracic catheters etc. Hand massage, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods, is an effective procedure that can be applied independently by nurses for pain management. The objective of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the effect of hand massage applied to the patients with CABG surgery during the postoperative intensive care process, on pain.

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

  1. Sternotomy pain

    Measured: Pain intensity was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) before and at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes after massage.

  2. Drain pain

    Measured: Pain intensity was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) before and at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes after massage.

  3. Back Pain

    Measured: Pain intensity was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) before and at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes after massage.

  4. Leg incision pain

    Measured: Pain intensity was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) before and at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes after massage.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Systolic blood pressure

    Measured: Evaluated with a patient monitor before and after the massage at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes.

  2. Diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: Evaluated with a patient monitor before and after the massage at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes.

  3. Pulse rate

    Measured: Evaluated with a patient monitor before and after the massage at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes.

  4. Respiratory rate

    Measured: Evaluated with a patient monitor before and after the massage at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes.

  5. Oxygen saturation

    Measured: Evaluated with a patient monitor before and after the massage at 5, 30, 60, 90, 90 and 120 minutes.
