Abstract

Aim:
The present study was performed at
investigating
the effects of cold gel pack applied to the sternum on the pain associated
with deep breathing and coughing after open-heart surgery.

Material-Methods: The study
sample included 46 participants. While the study data were collected, the
“Patient Information Form” prepared by the researcher based on the pertinent
literature was used to question the
sociodemographic characteristics of the
patients, the
“Visual Analogue Scale-VAS” was used to assess the severity of the
patient's pain, and the “Pain Monitoring Form” was used to record the patient's
pain associated with deep breathing and coughing exercises before and after
cold gel pack application.

Pain scores after deep
breathing and coughing
were measured and compared warm (room
temperature) (placebo) gel pack, with (intervention) and without (control) the
gel pack.

Results: The
intergroup analysis showed that the difference between the experimental,
control and placebo groups in terms of their mean VAS scores obtained before
the procedure and after the procedure was not statistically significant. But in
the experimental group; in terms of their mean VAS scores obtained before the
procedure and after the procedure was determined statistically significant.

Conclusions: The
results of this study showed that cold therapy is an effective method for management
of sternal incision pain associated with coughing and deep breathing in open heart
surgery patients.
