About
The role of nurses in the management of ileus is very important as they are part of the multidisciplinary approach. The study aimed to determine the effect of a hot water bag applied to the abdominal region on pain caused by decreased or cessation of intestinal peristalsis in individuals diagnosed with ileus on reducing or relieving pain and restoring intestinal peristalsis.
Full description
The study aimed to determine the effect of a hot water bag applied to the abdominal region on pain caused by decreased or cessation of intestinal peristalsis in individuals diagnosed with ileus on reducing or relieving pain and restoring intestinal peristalsis. Data will be evaluated using a literature-based Patient Personal Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, burping, and auscultation of bowel sounds with a stethoscope. Sample calculations were performed using a priori power analysis (t-test) for the intervention and control groups. Accordingly, with an effect size of d=2.06, a 5% error rate (α=0.01), and 99% power (1-β=0.99), the minimum sample size for both groups was calculated as 54. Considering potential losses, the total sample size was increased by 10%, resulting in 30 patients in each group (Experimental Group: 30, Control Group: 30), and a total of 60 patients.
