Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of using motivational cards on pain and step counts in patients who underwent open prostate surgery due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.The main hypotheses are:

H1: Patients who use motivation cards during mobilization after open prostate surgery have lower pain levels than those who do not. H2: Patients who used motivation cards for mobilization after open prostate surgery had a higher number of steps than those who did not use them. After the surgery, patients were asked to walk with a pedometer. A mobilization motivation card was used in the study group.

Conditions

  • Prostatic Hyperplasia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mobilization Motivation Card

On the morning of the surgery, the Mobilization Motivation Card and Pedometer will be introduced and the patient will be informed. On the morning of the first postoperative day, before the patient's first mobilization, pain assessment will be made with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Mobilization Motivation Card will be hung at the bedside during the day and will help increase the patient's participation in mobilization. Later, after a pedometer is attached to the patient's waist, the patient will be mobilized.
