Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type in order to determine the effect of slow breathing exercise applied after the procedure on heart rate, blood pressure and quality of life in patients who underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) I after the diagnosis of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Patients who underwent primary PCI due to STEMI in a Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul will constitute the study population. A sample will be formed with a total of 80 patients, 40 experimental and 40 control groups, selected by computer assisted simple randomization method among volunteer patients who underwent primary PCI and met the inclusion criteria. In this study, slow breathing exercise training will be given to the experimental group by the coordinator. In their home followmup after discharge, they will be asked to do slow breathing exercises for 10 minutes twice a day for eight weeks. Data will be collected using the Patient Information Form, MacNew Heart Disease Health Related Quality of Life Scale, VAS Breath Therapy Satisfaction Evaluation Form, Self-Monitoring Form and Patient Follow up Form. Patients will be seen again during the outpatient clinic examination in the fourth and eighth weeks and the effectiveness of slow breathing exercises will be evaluated with data collection forms.

Treatments
Experimental: Slow breathing exercise training
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.
No_intervention: Control group
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.
