The effect of acupressure on postoperative pain of lumbar disc hernia: A quasi-experimental study
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018) Tanrıverdi, Seher; Sarıtaş, Serdar
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a disease characterized by lumbar and leg pain that occurs as a result of compression of the lumbar spinal root by the degenerated disc. The results of the study showed that 80% of humans experienced lumbar pain in any period of their lives [[1], [2], [3]]. Comprising an important part of lumbar pain; lumbar disc herniation (LDH) has an prevalence of approximately 15–56% per year [4,5]. One of the treatment methods preferred for patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation is surgery. Patients, who undergo surgery, experience intense pain in the early postoperative period [6]. It is known that medications are commonly used in pain control. Analgesic treatment used for pain control is the most preferred treatment method for pain relief as it has a rapid action and is administered easily [7,8]. Damages in both individual and national economy due to preferring carelessly and frequently analgesics affect negatively some physiological functionings and have negative effects such as development of addiction with the increase of dosages every time especially in cases where narcotics are preferred [9]. Thus, it is indicated that the administration of non-pharmaceutical methods by nurses to relieve the postoperative pain in patients in addition to medications increases the action of medications [8]. It is anticipated that there are numerous non-pharmaceutical methods which are efficient in pain management, such as distraction, relaxation, therapeutic touch, transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS), informing, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, massage, aromatherapy, music and meditation, yoga, attention-grabbing, imagination, cognitive-behavioral techniques. But, it is known that nurses do not use these methods adequately to relieve pain [10]. It may be asserted that non-pharmaceutical treatments are among independent nursing roles of professional nurses who have theoretical knowledge and problem solving ability. Nurses are required to take a role in non-pharmaceutical interventions in order to meet the health needs of individuals, families and society [11]. One of the non-pharmaceutical treatment methods used in pain relief is acupressure. Applied with touch pressuring on the acupuncture points using hands, fingers, thumbs or small beads according to the traditional Chinese medicine; acupressure is a non-pharmaceutical pain relief example that balances energy in the body [[12], [13], [14]]. Advantages of acupressure include low cost, learning convenience and non-invasive characteristics [14]. Besides, randomized clinical studies conducted to compare physiotherapy and acupressure in decreasing lumbar pain (LBP) have reveal that acupressure might be effective [[15], [16], [17]]. The use of acupressure in nursing practices by taking all its positive effects into consideration will contribute to the establishment of qualified nursing care standards.
The effect of acupressure on postoperative pain of lumbar disc hernia: A quasi-experimental study
(ELSEVIER, 2018) Tanrıverdi, Seher; Sarıtaş, Serdar
The effect of acupressure on postoperative pain of lumbar disc hernia Background: This study has been conducted for the purpose of examining the effect of acupressure on postoperatıve paın of lumbar disc hernia. Methods: This research was conducted between January 2015- July 2016 at the Neurosurgery Clinics of Turgut Özal İnönü University and Malatya State Hospital as a quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest designs. The study population consisted of patients who were hospitalized in these clinics after operation of lumbar disc hernia. The sample group consisted of 112 patients selected with random sampling and stayed in these clinics after the power analysis (56 test, 56 control). This research data was collected between January 2016 - March 2016. Patient identification forms and visual analog scales (VAS) were used for data collection. Patient identification form was applied to the patients in the experimental group, after acupressure was applied to patients for 15-20 minutes, their level was determined with the VAS. When the acupressure was stopped, their pain was determined with the VAS. Whereas in the control group, their pain was determined with the VAS and taking the end of the time during which acupressure was applied to experimental group into consideration, their pain level was reevaluated in the 20th minute. Data were evaluated with percentage, arithmetic average, chi-square test and independent groups t test. Results: The research result showed that owing to the effect of acupressure the pain level of the experimental group decreased from 7.75±1.67 to 2.58±1.18. (p= .00). Conclusions: Hence this result suggests the effectiveness of acupressure on postoperatıve paın of lumbar disc hernia.

The Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Abdominal Pain and Distension in Colonoscopy Patients
(ScienceDirect, 2022) Tanrıverdi, Seher; Parlar Kılıc, Serap
Abstract Purpose This study was conducted to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on abdominal pain and distension in colonoscopy patients. Design A randomized controlled experimental design. Methods The experimental group was informed about progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and an audio recording was provided. After the colonoscopy, abdominal pain (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain) and distension (VAS distension) scores were assessed, then PMR was applied for 30 minutes and pain scores were determined again. VAS pain and VAS distension scores of the control group were determined after colonoscopy and 30 minutes later. VAS abdominal pain and VAS distension scores were evaluated at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 24th hour after the procedure on all patients. The day after the colonoscopy, post-test data were collected. Findings The pretest VAS pain and VAS distension mean scores were similar in the intervention and control groups (P > .05). The mean VAS pain and VAS distension scores decreased significantly in the intervention group post procedure (P < .05). Conclusions PMR was determined to be effective in reducing abdominal pain and distension after colonoscopy.

Frequency of Clinical Alarms in Intensive Care Units and Nurses' Sensitivity to Them: An Observational Study
(2021) Ceylan, Burcu; Baran, Leyla; Güneş, Ülkü
Background All clinical alarms require nurses to respond even if an intervention is not needed. Nurses are expected to respond appropriately to each alarm and establish priorities among their care practices accordingly. This study was conducted to examine the number and types of clinical device alarms used in intensive care units, the duration of their activation, and nurses’ degree of sensitivity to them. Methods This observational study was conducted in 4 intensive care units in a university hospital in Turkey. A total of 20 nurses (5 from each unit) were observed for a total of 80 hours. The alarms were categorized as valid, false, or technical. Results During the study observation period, the mean number of alarms sounding per hour per bed was 1.8. A total of 144 alarms were recorded, of which 70.8% were valid, 15.3% were false, and 13.9% were technical. The mean duration of alarm activation was 8 minutes for valid alarms, 14 minutes for false alarms, and 53 minutes for technical alarms. Conclusions Nurses’ responses to alarms differ depending on alarm type; for alarms that do not require an emergency intervention, nurses tend to respond late or not at all.

Investigation of the Necessity of Aspiration During the Intramuscular Injection Administered in the Ventrogluteal Site and Its Effect on Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Sage Journals, 2022) Baran, Leyla; Güneş, Ülkü; Dönmez, Hilal
This experimental study, which was conducted to examine the necessity of aspiration procedure and its effect on pain in intramuscular (IM) injections made into the ventrogluteal site (VGS), is randomized controlled and double-blind. The patients in the study group (n = 834) were assigned to the IM group with the aspiration period of 5 to 10 seconds (Implementation Group A-IGA), the aspiration period of 1 to 2 seconds (Control Group-CG), and no aspiration (Implementation Group B-IGB) according to stratified block randomization list. Patients’ pain levels were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). No bleeding was observed when aspiration periods of 1 to 2 and 5 to 10 seconds were followed during the injections administered to the VGS. The difference between the pain medians of patients in IGB and the CG were not significant (p =.521). It can be said that there is no need to apply aspiration in IM applied into the VGS if the correct site is determined
