Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In the intervention group, hands and feet will be massaged with mint oil(Noorhan Company) mixed with sweet almond(Noorhan Company) oil for 20 minutes. The intervention will be performed for 20 minutes for three consecutive days (ten minutes of hand massage and 10 minutes of foot massage with each hand and each foot for 5 minutes). Prior to the intervention, physiological parameter forms (including blood pressure, arterial blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and respiration) and sleep quality questionnaire will be completed. The researcher will warm his hands. Then, he will spread 5 teaspoons of mint oil mixed with sweet almond oil on his hands. He will then rub the patient's hands from the wrists to the fingers and toes from the ankles to the toes with caressing movements. The massage will be done with pressure with the palm of the hand. In the first stage of foot massage, each groove between the tendons that connect the ankle to the toes will be slightly pressed using the thumb or other toe. In the second stage, the feet and heels will be massaged. In the third step, the toes will be pulled back and forth separately. In the fourth step, the thumb and another finger of the massager will be pulled on the toes in an outward direction (from the base to the tips of the toes). The hand massage will be done on both the palm and the back of the hand. In the first stage, pressure and movements from the wrist to the fingers will be performed with direct pressure and moderate intensity. In the second stage, a semicircular stretch from the center of the hand to the surroundings will be performed with medium pressure. In the third step, small circular motions around the arm will be performed with gentle pressure. The palm will then be massaged. Information on physiological parameters will be recorded five minutes after the intervention and every hour for four hours after the intervention. The intervention will be repeated for three consecutive days in each group. On the morning of the fourth day, after the intervention, the sleep quality questionnaire will be completed again.
