Summary

This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of the 4-7-8 breathing technique applied to patients after bariatric surgery on pain and nausea and vomiting. The research will be conducted on 60 patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 05.2024-12.2024.

Randomization will be ensured for students who meet the inclusion criteria, and they will be divided into two random groups: the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). After obtaining consent with the "Informed Consent Form," patients who agree to participate in the study will have the "Patient Introduction Form" filled out by researchers, and they will be provided with training on the 4-7-8 breathing technique. Patients will be instructed to practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique once per hour (4 breaths) post-surgery. Pain and nausea-vomiting will be monitored at 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours during their 24-hour hospital stay. The control group, after consenting with the "Informed Consent Form" the day before surgery, will have the "Patient Introduction Form" filled out by researchers, and their pain and nausea-vomiting status will be monitored at the same intervals during their hospital stay. No interventions will be made for the control group; they will receive routine nursing care during their hospital stay.
