                            <p>Bu çalışmanın amacı, kolonoskopi yapılan hastalarda karın masajının ağrı ve distansiyon üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Bu randomize kontrollü çalışma Eylül 2019-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinin endoskopi ünitesinde kolonoskopi yapılan 60 hastanın katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kolonoskopi sonrası abdominal masaj uygulanan 30 hasta deney grubuna dahil edilmiştir. Sosyodemografik özellik değişkenlerine göre gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (p&amp;gt;0.05). Deney grubunda hastaların ağrı düzeylerindeki azalma istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunurken (p=0,006), gruplarda ilk değerlendirme ile ikinci değerlendirme arasındaki distansiyon düzeyindeki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (p=0,139 ve p=0,548). Abdominal masaj kolonoskopi sonrası ağrıyı azaltmada etkili bir hemşirelik girişimi olarak kullanılabilir. Çalışma ClinicalTrials.gov&#039;a (NCT05823350) kaydedilmiştir.</p></trans-abstract>

This randomized controlled study was conducted between September 2019 and December 2021 with the participation of 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy in the endoscopy unit of a university hospital. Thirty patients who received abdominal massage after colonoscopy were included in the experimental group. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to sociodemographic characteristics variables (p &amp;gt; 0.05). While the decrease in patients’ pain levels was found statistically significant in the experimental group (p = 0.006), the difference in the distension level between first evaluation and second evaluation in the groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.139 and p = 0.548). Abdominal massage can be used as an effective nursing intervention in reducing pain after colonoscopy. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05823350).</p></abstract>
