Brief summary: In this study, the effects of bed exercises on pain, anxiety, early ambulation and mobilization in major surgery patients were aimed. The research was experimental and a total of 120 patients participated. Data were collected using an information form, anxiety scale, and pain scale. Exercise was applied to the patients in the experimental group (15 minutes) and no intervention was applied to the control group. Descriptive statistics, correlation tests and t-test were used. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were checked for the scales.

Detailed description: Major surgery are operations that can cause morbidity and mortality. Worldwide, approximately 230 million major surgical interventions are performed each year. Major surgery is a stressful experience and causes life-threatening fear and anxiety by increasing the level of anxiety. The most important of these fears is the pain that may occur after surgery. More than 75% of patients who experience postoperative pain in the Western world report that they experience moderate to severe pain. In our country, this rate is over 90%. If pain management is inadequate, patients' quality of life is adversely affected. In pain management, nurses can use non-pharmacological methods such as massage and exercise in addition to pharmacological applications.

Leg-arm exercises done in bed are aimed at protecting the muscle strength of individuals. Turning in bed, leg-arm exercises, raising the heels and feet, inverting the arms, moving from right to left, reverse arm and leg movements are performed. Also 6-8. Early ambulation is recommended. If these applications are made, early recovery and rapid discharge can be achieved. Since pain and anxiety delay early recovery in patients undergoing major surgery, effective pain management is very important. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of in-bed exercises on anxiety and pain in patients undergoing major surgery.
