This surgical intervention aims to improve the blood circulation of the patients' heart muscle. However, after CABC, patients may experience symptoms arising from the effect of the operation. These symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, sleep problems and a general feeling of restlessness. These symptoms occur as a result of the operation and can limit patients' daily activities, negatively affect their quality of life, and make the rehabilitation process difficult. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise can be an effective strategy for managing symptoms after CABC. This exercise involves deep and controlled breathing and aims to strengthen respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity and improve respiratory efficiency. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise helps breathing occur more efficiently by reducing the movement of the chest wall and can reduce patients' breathing difficulties. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise provides relaxation in the body by calming the sympathetic nervous system and can reduce stress during the sleep process. In this way, patients can experience a deeper and more restful sleep and feel more energetic when they wake up. At the same time, diaphragmatic breathing exercise improves mental state and reduces the effects of stress by providing focus and mental relaxation. This thesis study aims to investigate the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise applied to patients undergoing CABC on symptom severity, sleep quality and anxiety. The importance of this study is that it has great potential for managing symptoms after CABC and improving patients' quality of life. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise is expected to be effective in reducing symptoms after CABC, allowing patients to improve their respiratory functions and general health status. Additionally, investigating the effects of this exercise on patients' sleep quality and anxiety may help nurses adopt a more holistic approach in healthcare delivery. conditions: Coronary Artery conditions: Anxiety conditions: Symptom conditions: Sleep studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL interventionModelDescription: Adult patients will be divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise will be explained to the patients in the experimental group in the preoperative period. In the preoperative period, the sleep, anxiety and symptom levels of the experimental and control groups will be evaluated.In the post-operative period, the experimental group was reminded to do diaphragmatic breathing exercises on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days.On the 5th post-operative day, sleep, anxiety and symptom severity of the experimental and control groups will be evaluated. primaryPurpose: HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH masking: SINGLE maskingDescription: Single (Participant) Single Blinded whoMasked: PARTICIPANT count: 70 type: ESTIMATED name: diaphragmatic breathing exercise measure: cardiovascular surgery symptom inventory measure: richards champbell sleep quality scale measure: state anxiety inventory measure: Personal information form sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Konya City Hospital status: RECRUITING city: Konya state: Karatay zip: 42020 country: Turkey name: Serap SAYAR, PhD role: CONTACT phone: 05059102994 email: oranserap@gmail.com name: Havva Nur YALICI, Nurse role: CONTACT phone: 05413386593 email: havvanur.yalici2017@gmail.com lat: 37.87135 lon: 32.48464 hasResults: False
