Control group (CG)
Experimental group (EG)
Patients in the CG were provided with routine nursing care, as practiced in the clinic, including restricted bed rest. For this purpose, patients were given supine position in which the HOB was elevated 15° for 6-10 h; the patient's leg on the of the side of intervention was kept straight.
Patients in the EG were applied position changes between the first minute and sixth hour. During the initial six hours a supportive, thin pillow, 4 x 40 x 100 cm in size, was placed between the patient's shoulders and gluteals; this reduced the pressure on local tissues and muscle groups.
