Interventions

OTHER

Abdominal massage

Abdominal massage will be applied to patients at least 30 minutes after morning and evening meals (8:30 in the morning, 20:30 in the evening) for 15 minutes each, similar to the literature \[33,34,38\]. Data of the patients will be collected again 15 minutes after the application of abdominal massage (09:00-09:15 in the morning, 21:00-21:15 in the evening). Abdominal massage will start in the evening of the day the patient is transferred to the clinic (20:30), and will be terminated when the patient defecates. In order to stimulate bowel movements, four basic movements will be used in the abdominal massage to be applied clockwise: superficial effusion, deep effusion, petrissage, and vibration.
