ABSTRACT
 Objective: The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of postoperative practices on pain in patients undergoing open and closed heart surgery. The secondary aim was to determine the activities that patients had difficulty in performing during pain. Material and Methods: This prospective and descriptive study was conducted in a cardiovascular surgery clinic between September 2022 and July 2023. The sample calculation was carried out according to the simple random sampling method with 65 patients in the open heart surgery patient group according to the Power (G-power) analysis, and 57 of the 79 patients in the closed heart surgery patient group between these dates were reached. Personal information in the research data form and 16 questions determining pain levels. Pain levels during the postoperative procedures on the 1st day (dressing, getting out of bed, walking, coughing) and 3rd day (chest tube/drain and pacing wire removal) were asked and recorded. Results: The mean ages of the patients in the open and closed cardiac surgery groups were 61.5±8.4 and 45.5±12.8 years, respectively (p=0.015<0.05). Coronary artery bypass graft was performed in 75.4% of open operations and septal defect in 36.8% of closed operations. Pain measurements during dressing (p=0.017<0.05) and pacing wire removal (p=0.001<0.05) were significantly different in patients who underwent open surgery. The pain experienced by patients in both groups during chest tube withdrawal was found to be severe. Conclusion: It was determined that there was a significant difference in the pain experienced in open and closed surgeries after cardiac surgery.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın birinci amacı, açık ve kapalı kalp cerrahisi geçiren hastaların cerrahi sonrası yapılan uygulamaların ağrı üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Hastaların ağrı yaşadıkları sırada yapmakta zorlandıkları aktivitelerin belirlenmesi ikincil amacıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Prospektif ve tanımlayıcı bir tasarıma sahip olan bu araştırma kalp damar cerrahisi kliniğinde Eylül 2022-Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Örneklem hesabı Güç (G-power) analizine göre açık kalp cerrahisi geçiren hasta grubunda 65 hasta olacak şekilde basit rastgele örneklem yöntemine göre, kapalı kalp cerrahisi geçiren hasta grubu için bu tarihler arasındaki 79 hastadan 57'sine ulaşılarak gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma veri formu kişisel bilgileri ve ağrı düzeylerini belirleyen 16 sorudan oluştu. Ameliyattan sonra 1. gün (pansuman, yataktan kalkma, yürüme, öksürme) ve 3. günde (göğüs tüpü/dren ve pace teli çekilmesi) yapılan uygulamalar sırasındaki ağrı düzeyleri sorulup kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada açık kalp cerrahisi grubunda yer alan hastaların yaş ortalaması 61,5±8,4, kapalı kalp cerrahisi grubundaki hastaların yaş ortalaması ise 45,5±12,8 olarak bulundu (p=0,015<0,05). Açık ameliyatların %75,4'ü koroner arter baypas grefti, kapalı ameliyatlarında %36,8'i septal defekt ameliyatıdır. Hastaların ameliyat türüne göre açık ameliyat olanların pansuman sırasındaki (p=0,017<0,05) ve pace teli çekilirken (p=0,001<0,05) ağrı ölçümleri anlamlı farklılık gösterdi. Her iki gruptaki hastaların göğüs tüpü çekilirken yaşadıkları ağrı şiddetli ağrı olarak saptandı. Sonuç: Kardiyak cerrahi sonrası yapılan uygulamaların açık ve kapalı cerrahilerde yaşanan ağrı üzerinde anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edildi.
