Summary

This research is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of air stimulation to the face with a hand fan in the management of dyspnea in lung cancer patients. The universe of the research was carried out between December 2022 and February 2024, Izmir Provincial Health Directorate, University of Health Sciences, Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital will consist of cancer patients. Individuals who meet the sampling selection criteria from the specified universe will constitute the sample of the research. The sample number of the research was determined as a result of the power analysis made with the G\*power program. As a result of the power analysis, based on the t-test in independent groups, the minimum number of samples to be taken was 27 people for a group with 1:1 ratio, 0.80 power, effect value 0.80 and 0.05 significance level. Randomization of the sample will be ensured by accepting the first patient who applied to the outpatient chemotherapy unit randomly and with an appointment at the beginning of the study to the experimental group, and the next patient to the control group. Considering the losses, it is planned to work with 60 people, 30 people in the intervention group and 30 people in the control group. Individual Descriptive Information Form, Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC), Cancer Dyspnea Scale, Vital Signs Follow-up Form, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale and General Comfort Scale Short Form will be used.

hand-held fan airflow stimulation

Outcome dyspnea measures: After the fan training application given to the hand-held fan airflow stimulation group by the researchers, the hand fan application will be made for 5 days. On the "baseline", "day 3", and "day 5" of the study, the dyspnea level will be evaluated. Outcome comfort measures: After the fan training application given to the hand-held fan airflow stimulation group by the researchers, the hand fan application will be made for 5 days. On the "baseline", "day 3", and "day 5" of the study, the comfort level of the patients will be evaluated.
