Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of Benson relaxation exercise on preoperative anxiety level before open heart surgery.
Method: The data of this semi-experimental study were collected at the Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of Ahi Evren Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital between May and December 2022. The study sample consisted of 120 patients (60 experimental, 60 control) who met the research criteria. "The Patient Introduction Form”, “The State-Trait Anxiety Scale” and “Anxiety Specific to Surgery Questionnaire” were used to collect data.
Results: When the anxiety levels of the patients were examined before the Benson relaxation exercise, it was determined that the groups had similar state anxiety and surgery-specific anxiety mean scores and that the difference was not significant. When the anxiety levels of the patients were examined after the Benson relaxation exercise, it was determined that the state anxiety and surgery-specific anxiety mean scores of the patients in the experimental group 2 days before, 1 day before and on the morning of the surgery were significantly lower than those of the control group patients.
Conclusion: It was found that Benson relaxation exercise reduce preoperative anxiety level in patients undergoing open heart surgery. In this context, it may be recommended that the Benson relaxation exercise be planned and implemented by nurses in order to reduce the level of anxiety before surgery.

Açık Kalp Cerrahisi Uygulanacak Hastalarda Benson Gevşeme Egzersizinin Ameliyat Öncesi Kaygı Düzeyine Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma açık kalp cerrahisi öncesi uygulanan Benson gevşeme egzersizinin ameliyat öncesi kaygı düzeyine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: Yarı deneysel türde olan bu araştırmanın verileri Ahi Evren Göğüs Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Kliniğinde Mayıs-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Araştırma kriterlerine uyan 120 hasta (60 deney, 60 kontrol) araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturdu. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında “Hasta Tanıtım Formu”, “Durumluk Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği” ve “Ameliyata Özgü Kaygı Ölçeği” kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Benson gevşeme egzersizi öncesi hastaların kaygı düzeyleri incelendiğinde grupların hem durumluk kaygı hem de ameliyata özgü kaygı puan ortalamalarının benzer olduğu ve aradaki farkın anlamlı olmadığı belirlendi. Benson gevşeme egzersizi uyguladıktan sonra hastaların kaygı düzeyleri incelendiğinde ise deney grubundaki hastaların ameliyattan 2 gün önce, 1 gün önce ve ameliyat sabahı durumluk kaygı ve ameliyata özgü kaygı puan ortalamalarının kontrol grubu hastalarından anlamlı düzeyde düşük olduğu saptandı.
Sonuç: Açık kalp cerrahisi uygulanacak hastalarda Benson gevşeme egzersizinin ameliyat öncesi kaygı düzeyini azalttığı tespit edildi. Bu bağlamda ameliyat öncesi kaygı düzeyinin azaltılması amacıyla Benson gevşeme egzersizinin hemşireler tarafından planlanıp uygulanması önerilebilir.
