Determination of the Effect of Raised Supine Position and Back Support on Back Pain, Anxiety and Comfort Level in Coronary Angiography Patients

In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used to control back pain and anxiety. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of 30 degrees raised supine position and back support applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography from the femoral artery on back pain, anxiety and patient comfort. This research was planned as a pretest-posttest randomized, controlled, experimental study in order to determine the effect of the elevated supine position and back support application applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography with femoral artery access on back pain, anxiety and comfort levels of patients. Research Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University SUAH Hospital Cardiology intensive care unit September 2021 - September The sample of the research was determined by power analysis. According to the calculation made, the sample; With an effect size of 0.90, a margin of error of 0.05, a confidence interval of 0.95, and a power of 0.95, it was calculated that there should be 35 people in each group to represent the universe. "Patient Information Form", "Numeric Pain Intensity Scale VAS", "State- The necessary information of the patient will be collected with the "Trait Anxiety Scale" and the "Immobilization comfort scale". After the information of the patient whose hemodynamics is provided, the experimental group will be given a 30 degrees Elevated Supine Position and the back area will be supported with a 36x33x10 sized silicone gel pad that prevents sweating, and the measurements will be repeated at the 2nd and 4th hours after the CAG procedure. The patients in the control group will have the same measurements at the 0th hour, 2nd hour and 4th hour after the femoral angiography procedure. During this period, the patients will remain in the straight supine position without back support, which is routinely applied in the clinic.
