To investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercise on pain and vital signs in patients undergoing open renal surgery.
Nonrandomized evaluation with intervention (n = 31) and control (n = 30) groups.
In the intervention group, PMR exercise was performed twice daily on postoperative days 0, 1, 2, and 3. Pain severity and vital signs were evaluated 15 minutes after each exercise application.
The study detected significant differences in the mean visual analog scale pain severity values in the intervention group, who received PMR exercise between 0 and 3 days. The repeated measurements 15 minutes after PMR exercise exhibited a statistically significant (P < .05) decrease in systolic blood pressure values as well as heart and respiratory rates.
It was determined that PMR decreased the mean postoperative visual analog scale pain scores and vital signs in patients of the intervention group compared with the control group.
探讨渐进性肌肉放松(PMR)运动对接受开放性肾脏手术患者疼痛和生命体征的影响。
干预(n=31)和对照(n=30)组的非随机评估。
在干预组中,PMR 运动在术后第 0、1、2 和 3 天每天进行两次。在每次运动应用后 15 分钟评估疼痛严重程度和生命体征。
研究发现,接受 PMR 运动的干预组在 0 至 3 天之间的平均视觉模拟量表疼痛严重程度值存在显著差异。PMR 运动后 15 分钟的重复测量显示收缩压值以及心率和呼吸率均有统计学意义(P<0.05)的降低。
与对照组相比,PMR 降低了干预组患者术后平均视觉模拟量表疼痛评分和生命体征。
