Effect of back massage on sleep among post-operative CABG and valve replacement patients.

Apr 10 The concept of comfort is central to the art of nursing. It is very important to identify the ways through which patients can achieve comfort. Sleep is a basic human need (Maslow, 1970). It is a natural state of bodily rest observed in humans and other animals. It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more easily reversible than hibernation or coma. In humans, regular sleep is essential for survival. Polysomnographic studies of patients experiencing acute pain during post-operative recovery show shortened and fragmented sleep with reduced amounts of slow wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and recovery is accompanied by normalisation of sleep (Roehrs & Roth, 2005). Patients with post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery reported that sleep disturbances are very common among these patients due to incision pain, difficulty finding a comfortable position and nocturia. The process of achieving comfort is based on the patient s need to live with illness or injury, and it remains central to the role of nursing. It is very important to identify the ways by which patients can achieve comfort. Identifying and treating patient s sleep pattern disturbance is an important aspect of giving care to the patients. The present study was conducted to assess and compare Effect of Back Massage on Sleep among Post-Operative CABG and Valve Replacement Patients
