About

Liver transplantation is a treatment method used in acute and chronic liver failure. Progressive Relaxation Exercises, which are non-pharmacological methods aimed at minimizing complications and improving the quality of life after liver transplantation, have been reported to have many benefits such as reducing acute and chronic pain, reducing fatigue and reducing muscle tension. Therefore, in this study, the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on pain and kinesiophobia in liver transplant patients were examined.

Full description

Liver transplantation is a common treatment for acute and chronic liver failure, liver malignancy and complicated cirrhosis. Although life expectancy increases after liver transplantation, some undesirable problems such as rejection, cardiovascular risk factors, hypertension, infection and malignancy occur. Preferring non-pharmacological methods to minimise complications and improve quality of life accelerates the return of the individual to normal life. Progressive Relaxation Exercises, one of these methods, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate can be kept within clinically normal limits due to vasodilatation in the blood vessels in the peripheral area and oxygen requirement is reduced. PGE has been reported to have many benefits such as reducing the effects of anxiety and stress, reducing acute and chronic pain, nausea and vomiting, facilitating sleep, reducing fatigue, reducing respiration, blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension. Therefore, in this study, the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on pain and kinesiophobia in liver transplant patients were examined.

116 participants in 2 patient groups

Progressive relaxation exercise group
Experimental group
Description:
Sociodemographic information form, numerical pain scale and kinesiophobia scale were applied to the patients in the experimental group after liver transplantation. They were shown 15 minutes progressive relaxation exercises prepared by Mark Connelly and Jennifer Bickel on Youtube, and then the numerical pain scale and kinesiophobia scale were applied again.
Treatment:
Behavioral: Progressive relaxation exercises
Control group
No Intervention group
Description:
No application other than clinical protocols was performed in the follow-up of the patient. In the control group, sociodemographic information form, kinesiophobia scale and numerical pain scale were applied after liver transplantation. No intervention was made. Then, the kinesiophobia scale and numerical pain scale were applied again.
