The Effect of Reflexology After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Reflexology is a reliable and holistic complementary and alternative treatment method that means that the body's specific glands, organs and regions are stimulated by applying a special pressure with the fingers on the hands, feet and ears. When the literature is analyzed, it has been determined that reflexology is applied effectively before, during and after surgery, including different surgical procedures, and it is emphasized that one of the most important areas is patients who underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. In this study, it is thought that reflexology application to patients undergoing CABG surgery on nursing care will contribute to the nursing literature by examining the effect of reflexology on pain, anxiety, fatigue, sleep and physiological parameters.
