The Effect of Slow Breathing Exercise Applied to Patients on Pulse, Blood Pressure and Quality of Life
Slow Breathing, Acute Myocardial Infarction
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Slow Breathing focused on measuring Blood Pressure, Pulse, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Quality of Life, Slow Breathing Exercise
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Young adult patients between the ages of 18-65, Patients who have not received fibrinolytic therapy before or simultaneously with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure, Patients who have passed 24 hours after the PCI procedure, Patients with a pulse > 60/min (whether or not beta blockers are used after PCI), Patients without rhythm problems, Patients with hypertension (systolic blood pressure 140-179 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 90-109 mmHg), (whether or not they use antihypertensive and beta blocker drugs), Patients without a diagnosis of mental or psychiatric disease, Patients who have the materials to watch the breathing exercise video, Patients who can receive reminder messages and make video calls (with devices such as a smartphone, computer, tablet, etc.), Patients with a portable blood pressure monitor suitable for pulse and blood pressure measurement during home monitoring (the necessary equipment will be provided within the scope of the TUBITAK project), Patients without hearing or visual impairment, Patients who can read and write Patients who can communicate, Patients without language problems, Patients who volunteer and indicate this verbally and in writing Exclusion Criteria: Patients with elective/appointed appointments for whom PCI is planned in advance, Patients whose PCI procedure failed, Patients who underwent only thrombus aspiration and balloon angioplasty during the PCI procedure, Patients who have previously undergone PCI and at least one year has not passed since, Patients who do not comply with planned interventions, Patients who do not volunteer to participate in the study, Patients with physical limitations and respiratory distress who cannot do breathing exercises, Patients with rhythm problems, Patients with diseases that can increase heart rate (anemia, hyperthyroidism, hyperthermia, infection), Patients who are morbidly obese (Body Mass Index > 40 kg/m2), Patients with hearing impairment, Patients with mental disabilities or perception problems, Patients who have previously received breathing therapy training will not be included in the study.

Experimental
No Intervention
Slow breathing exercise training
Control group
Slow breathing exercise training will be given to patients in the experimental group. After discharge, patients will be asked to do slow breathing exercises twice a day for 10 minutes every day for eight weeks. Daily and/or weekly online, weekday, weekend, daytime, evening, video phone calls will be made with patients who are discharged at the end of the training to practice the slow breathing exercise every day according to the patients' demand. It will be provided that breathing exercises will be performed together with a video call in the form of a conference call. Patients will be asked to take measurements a total of two days a week, one day on weekdays and one day on weekends, in the morning, after a light breakfast, at least five minutes of rest and breathing exercises. Pulse and blood pressure measurements at home on weekdays will be asked to be measured Decouply from breathing exercise, and on weekends before and after breathing exercise.
In the control group, patients will be shown and told self-blood pressure and pulse measurement at home at discharge. A reminder text message will be sent to the mobile phones of patients for blood pressure and pulse measurement at home. The control group will also be asked to perform their own blood pressure and pulse monitoring at home and record a Self-Monitoring Form (for the Control group).During home follow-up, patients will be sent reminder text messages to their mobile phones two days a week. According to the request of patients, daily and/or weekly online, weekdays, weekends, daytime, evening, phone calls will be made to measure pulse and blood pressure values two days a week.
