Protocol summary

Study aim
determining the effect of concurrent respiratory workout and mobility exercises on pain, anxiety and lung expansion ability in post-operative lung cancer surgery patients with chest tube
Design
a non randomized parallel clinical trial with control group, no blinding
Settings and conduct
motive exercises were performed with left or right arm depending on the side of the chest tube installation. Pain, anxiety, amount of lung secretions and the time of the chest tube removal were measured daily in the control group. Interventions were implemented after surgery in intervention group cases. research was performed at the thoracic surgery ward in Tehran Valiasr hospital; located in Imam Khomeini hospital complex.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
inclusion criteria : two chest tubes installed, over 18 years old, completely aware of time, place and who he/she is, not taking Narcotic drugs at least 4 hours before the interventions, no sensory disorder (audio and visual), no substance addiction, not taking anti anxiety drugs, no history of lung diseases and no history of chest tube installation exclusion criteria: severe anxiety due to environmental factors, not being interested to participate, lack of learning ability, addiction
Intervention groups
Respiratory and motive workout were taught to patients of intervention group. These exercises were performed once a day until removal of the chest tube with the presence of the researcher. exercises include deep breathing, pursed lip breathing and motive exercises for arm and shoulder. There was no intervention in the control group and patients received routine care of the hospital including drug therapy, serum therapy and change of the dressings.
Main outcome variables
lung expansion mark on spirometry, measured pain using visual analog scale, measured anxiety using visual analog scale

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: On the first visit with the patients (before surgery and installation of chest tubes) explanations about interventions and the research was given to them, then the informed consent was signed by the patient and demographic information form was filled out by the researcher. The spirometry results was observed and recorded from patient’s file. Before the operation, when patient was present in the ward, and after filling forms mentioned above, instructions for respiratory workout and mobility exercises including diaphragmatic respiration, pursed lip breathing, chest physiotherapy, physical movements for arm and shoulder of the side that chest tube has been installed (whether its left or right) and using incentive spirometer were given to the patient. These instructions were conducted and controlled by the researcher. After the surgery was finished and patient was transferred to the ward, pain and anxiety were measured using visual analog scale (VAS). A checklist was given to the participant which contained all workouts that he/she was meant to do and asked to fill the checklist each time doing the exercises in order to ensure that they perform exercises correctly. The researcher controlled the checklist in order to make sure that no exercise has been missed. Participants were supposed to do the exercises ten times in one hour according to ability and clinical conditions. Therefore, participants performed each exercise that could do until it reaches ten times in one hour and doesn’t make him/her tired. These activities were performed once each day on certain hours (10 AM to 12 MD) with presence of the researcher until chest tube was removed and VAS marks for pain and anxiety were written down.

Description
Control group: On the first visit with the patients (before surgery and installation of chest tubes) explanations about interventions and the research was given to them, then the informed consent was signed by the patient and demographic information form was filled out by the researcher. The spirometry results was observed and recorded from patient’s file. There were no research related instructions given to the patients of control group. After the surgery was finished and patient was transferred to the ward, pain and anxiety were measured using visual analog scale (VAS). Pain and anxiety were measured daily on certain hours (10 AM to 12 MD) until the tubes were removed. Before the removal of the chest tubes another spirometry test was token from the patients and results were recorded.
