Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of back pain prevention intervention program on reducing back pain of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
METHODS
The patients were divided into two groups as the experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, the participants took bedrest for 4 hours after PCI and then received back pain prevention intervention program (BPPIP). Total of 5 times BPPIP with 1 hour interval for 5-10 minutes per each intervention was administered to the patients taking bedrest for 4 hours after PCI. In the control group, total of 5 times routine nursing care with 1 hour interval was administered to the patients taking bedrest for 4 hours after PCI. The data were collected on admission in the ICU and after the 5 exercise sessions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN program.
RESULTS
No significant differences in the occurrence of hemorrhage after the BPPIP were observed between the experimental group and the control group. After the BPPIP, back pain outcomes were significantly low in the experimental group. However, urination disorder and cortisol level did not show a statistically significant differences between two groups.
CONCLUSION
It is clear that BPPIP is a useful nursing intervention for reducing back pain of patients undergoing PCI.
