    The Effect of Foot Massage on Pain and Anxiety Levels after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized-Controlled Trial
    (Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2021) Abdullayev, Aysegul; Ozbas, Ayfer
    Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of foot reflexology massage performed on patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy on pain levels, analgesic use and anxiety levels. Methods: This prospective, experimental and randomized-controlled study was conducted with patients who underwent cholecystectomy. Ninety patients in total were divided into the experiment (n = 30), control (n = 30) and placebo (n = 30) groups. Foot reflexology massage was performed on the patients in the experiment group two times after surgery. Placebo massage was performed on the patients in the placebo group at the same times. Only routine treatment and care were given to the patients in the control group. The patients' pain and anxiety levels and their amounts of analgesic use within 24 hours were monitored. Results: The patients' state anxiety scores decreased significantly from the preoperative to the postoperative measurements, and the degree of decrease did not differ between the groups (p>0.05). The pain scores of the patients decreased after the first and second massage applications in all groups in comparison to their pre-massage scores, and the pain in the experiment group felt after the second massage was lower than that in the patients in the placebo group (p<0.01). It was found that analgesic administration for the patients within 24 hours after the operation did not differ in terms of quantity or time of administration (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it may be stated that using reflexology with pharmacological methods to reduce postoperative pain will increase the effectiveness of pain treatment and the quality of nursing care.

    The Effect of Reflexology on Low Back Pain in Operating Room Nurses
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Kandemir, Didem; Abdullayev, Aysegul; Ak, Ezgi Seyhan; Ugras, Gulay Altun; Kanan, Nevin
    Operating room nurses often face acute or chronic back and low back pains, shoulder and neck injuries. In recent years, the use of complementary and alternative treatment methods has been increasing due to the fact that pharmacological treatment cannot control the pain in general, and its various side effects and cost. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of foot reflexology on low back pain of operating room nurses. This quasiexperimental study was conducted with 38 operating room nurses. The nurses in the experimental group were given a 30-minute reflexology protocol once a week for 4 weeks and their pain levels were assessed again at week 5. The control group nurses did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using a demographic information form and a visual analog scale (VAS). The low back pain of the nurses in the reflexology group decreased significantly at week 5 compared with week 1, whereas the severity of low back pain of the nurses in the control group did not change between weeks 1 and 5. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of the mean VAS pain score at week 1. However, the nurses in the reflexology group had significantly lower VAS pain mean scores at week 5 than the control group. In this study, reflexology significantly reduced the pain of nurses who had low back pain. Therefore, reflexology might be useful in controlling low back pain of operating room nurses.
