Brief summary: Aim: This randomized controlled trial study aimed to evaluate the effect of SMS use on compliance with postoperative breathing and coughing exercises and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer surgery.

Material and methods: In the study, 62 patients who underwent lobectomy in a university hospital's thoracic surgery clinic between 01.02.2022 and 03.04.2023. The intervention group was chosen to be the group that received SMS messages.

Detailed description: Background: Patients undergoing lung resection should be encouraged to cough, take deep breaths for pulmonary rehabilitation within the scope of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols. The success of protocols is related to patient compliance. SMS-based interventions increase compliance with medications and protocols in surgical patients and reduce hospital readmission rates, while improving patients' clinical participation and satisfaction.
