The Effect of Quilling Exercise Applied Before Cardiac Catheterization and Angiography

Summary

The heart is one of the most important organs of the body. Any defect in the heart or blood vessels can cause serious problems and include a number of health problems that reduce the quality of life. Despite recently developing technologies, heart diseases are one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality in children. He contributed to the determination of the treatment plan in more than 84% of the cases in cardiac catheterization and angiography, which are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart diseases. Since the cardiac catheterization and angiography procedure consists of a process, the nurse plays an important role in shortening the treatment time, increasing the comfort level, and reducing anxiety and fear as a result of the correct interventions that follow the patient before, during and after the procedure. For this reason, the nurse must be equipped and have sufficient knowledge in the field in the nursing care and interventions applied to patients for whom angiography is planned. Since cardiac catheterization and angiography is an invasive procedure and requires surgical intervention, it can cause negative situations such as fear, pain and anxiety in children. Since it is thought that it can be effective in reducing fear and anxiety in children through the Quilling Set activity planned to be implemented in the study in order to reduce the negative situations caused by the procedure, it is thought that the study will make a positive contribution to children and parents in physical and psychological terms.

Conditions

• Children
• Cardiac Catheterization

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

quilling set

After the intervention group is determined in randomization, half an hour before the cardiac catheterization and angiography procedure, without premedication treatment, the researcher will be asked to choose 2 animal and plant figures, samples of which have been previously made, through a quilling set, in cooperation with the researcher. It will be done with the child in a 15-20 minute period, accompanied by the researcher, with 2 figures chosen by the child. With the opportunity for the child to choose the color and figure he/she wants, the child will be at the center of the work. The figure will be given as a gift to the child and the survey forms will be filled out again 5 minutes after the application, before the premedication treatment. In order to prevent bias in the research, the descriptive information form and fear and anxiety scales will be taken by the evaluation of three people: the researcher, the parent and the child.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

Before the procedure, while the child is in the patient room, the details of the research will be explained, their consent will be obtained and the Introductory Information Form will be filled in by the parent, and the Fear Scale and State Anxiety Scale will be filled in by the child and the parent. After the control group is determined in randomization, the researcher will apply the posttest without premedication treatment half an hour before the cardiac catheterization and angiography procedure. No separate intervention will be applied. In accordance with ethical principles, after the procedure, 2 Quilling figures chosen by the control group and the child will be prepared with the help of the researcher, and the prepared figures will be gifted to the child.
