Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of the care protocol, which consists of independent nursing interventions, which play an important role in accelerating the recovery process of the patient, such as the patient's position, mobilization, use of spirometry, and providing shoulder exercises after thoracotomy. The hypothesis of this research is; the care protocol applied to the patients after thoracotomy has an effect on the patients' pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) and on the mobilization of the patients, the development of complications, the time of chest tube removal and the discharge

Care protocol

Before starting the application, the investigator (DS) will fill out the Introductory Characteristics Form of all patients, the Pre-thoracotomy Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) section of the Patient Results Form. The PFT section will be re-evaluated on the 1st, 5th day and on the day of discharge after thoracotomy. Nursing interventions will be applied to the study group (n=40), starting from the 0th day (the first day spent in the intensive care unit) after the thoracotomy in line with the prepared care protocol application steps until discharge. Care protocol consists of patient's position, mobilization, use of spirometer and shoulder exercises.
