Directed Imagery Technique Applied to Patients Undergoing Lumbar Disc

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The Directed Imagery technique (YIT) is a set of stories that people create by first giving relaxation exercises and then visualizing the symbols given by the practitioner. Guided imagery is based on the understanding that the body and mind are interconnected and that the mind can affect the body. In directed imagery, the person's thoughts and imagination are focused and directed to a specific goal by the practitioner, usually through a sound recording. The directed imagery technique can be effective in solving problems such as pain, stress, fatigue, and anxiety in nursing care.

Clinical Trial Description

1. Patients in the control group; Nursing care will be applied according to the routine care protocol of the clinic where the research was conducted. 2. Patients in the experimental group; In addition to the nursing care given according to the routine care protocol of the clinic where the research was conducted, the "imagery method" will be applied four times in total, once before the operation, once on the 1st day, 2nd day and 3rd day after the operation. It will be ensured that the patients to be imaged are in the supine or semifawler position in a comfortable way and listen to the audio recording with headphones. Before the application, the patient will be told to listen to the audio recording with headphones at the most convenient time of the day for him, in an environment where he will not be disturbed by others, by putting his phone in airplane mode, after giving advance notice to avoid disturbing family members. Headphones will be provided for each patient by the researcher. In the first meeting, the voice recordings will be transferred to the phones of the individuals via the phone in the Neurosurgery Service. Communication with the patient will be provided in accordance with the pandemic rules. In the preoperative period, "Descriptive Information Form", "Operation-Specific Anxiety Scale", "Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale", "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)", "State Anxiety Scale" will be applied to the experimental and control groups before imagery is performed. After the interventions applied to the experimental group are completed, the scales will be re-administered to the individuals in the experimental and control groups. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
