Effects of a 20-Minute Mindfulness-Based Breathing Exercise on Dyspnea, Fatigue, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Heart Failure

Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition that leads to incapacity. Despite significant progress in optimizing pharmacological treatment for HF patients, the personal and social burden of this disease is still characterized by debilitating symptoms and rehospitalizations. Today, many patients with heart failure use non-pharmacological methods for managing common symptoms. Due to the increased interest in non-pharmacological methods among individuals in society, it has become essential for healthcare professionals, including nurses as part of the healthcare team, to play a role in these methods to meet the health needs of the community. One of the interventions nurses can offer for symptom management is mindfulness-based breathing exercises. In this mind-body-based practice, attention is focused on the breath, helping individuals develop awareness of their negative thoughts and emotions. The study population will consist of patients admitted to the Cardiology Department of Firat University Hospital. The sample size was determined by a power analysis, with a 0.05 margin of error, a 0.95 confidence interval, and a 0.5 effect size, representing 80% of the population, resulting in 72 patients for both the experimental and control groups. Data collection tools for the study will include a Personal Information Form, the Dyspnea-12 Scale, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Scale, and the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale. SPSS (Statistical Programme for Social Sciences) software will be used to analyze the data obtained from the study. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of a 20-minute mindfulness-based breathing exercise on dyspnea, fatigue, and sleep quality in patients with heart failure.
