Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of diaphragmatic breathing and bulb lining on the anxiety level of patients under hysterectomy
Design
In this study, 126 patients who are referred to Taleghani hospital in Arak and are candidate for hysterectomy are selected. Participants are divided into two intervention groups and a control group using random numbers table and blocking technique. To hide groups from participants, collectors and data analyzers, one code is assigned to each group.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted at Taleghani Hospital in Arak.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group 1: First, diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is taught to patients using simple and intelligible sentences through individualized face to face training .In order to ensure that the type of respiration is taught in the correct way in each group, trained patients will perform the trained breathing in the presence of the researcher in two 20-minute sessions with a two hour interval just a day before the surgery.Diaphragmatic breathing technique is as follows: Patient lies in a comfortable position on the back. Then, puts one hand on the chest and the other hand on the abdomen. In this position, patient exhales somehow, the hand on the abdomen to be pulled forward while pushing in and brings out the air from lungs slowly. During the expiration, holds the hand on the chest in the same condition.

Description
Intervention group 2: First, pursed lip breathing (PLB) is taught to patients using simple and intelligible sentences through individual face to face training .In order to ensure that the type of respiration is taught in the correct way in each group, trained patients will perform the trained breathing in the presence of the researcher in two 20-minute sessions with a two hour interval just a day before the surgery. Breathing technique: The patient sits in a comfortable position and closes his/her mouth and breathes a deep breath through the nose and with the lips of the bud (whistling mode) exhales air through the mouth. The patient should breathe so that expiration time (exhale through the mouth) will be twice of the inspiration time (inhale air through the nose). That means inspiration time will be 2 seconds and expiration time will be 4 seconds.
