Summary

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type in order to determine the effect of slow breathing exercise applied after the procedure on heart rate, blood pressure and quality of life in patients who underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) I after the diagnosis of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

Patients who underwent primary PCI due to STEMI in a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul will constitute the study population. A sample will be formed with a total of 80 patients, 40 experimental and 40 control groups, selected by computer assisted simple randomization method among volunteer patients who underwent primary PCI and met the inclusion criteria.

In this study, slow breathing exercise training will be given to the experimental group by the coordinator. In their home followmup after discharge, they will be asked to do slow breathing exercises for 10 minutes twice a day for eight weeks.

Data will be collected using the "Patient Information Form", "MacNew Heart Disease Health Related Quality of Life Scale", "VAS Breath Therapy Satisfaction Evaluation Form", "Self-Monitoring Form" and "Patient Follow up Form". Patients will be seen again during the outpatient clinic examination in the fourth and eighth weeks and the effectiveness of slow breathing exercises will be evaluated with data collection forms.

Conditions

  • Slow Breathing
  • Acute Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Slow breathing exercise training

Slow breathing exercise training will be given by the researcher in a single one-hour session in the meeting room of the unit 24 hours after the PCI and/or the next day. After a 20-minute silent rest in the training, patients will be asked to breathe slowly through the nostrils for 4 seconds and slowly exhale through the mouth for 6 seconds to reach 6-8 breaths/min. The patient will rest for 5 seconds after every 6 slow breaths. During the training period, a stopwatch will be used by observing the patient's chest and abdominal movements in order to determine whether the patients have reached the required respiratory rate.
