Özet
Guided imagery distracts patients from disturbing feelings
and thoughts, positively affects emotional well-being, and
reduces pain by producing pleasing mental images. This
study aimed to determine the effects of guided imagery on
postoperative pain management in patients undergoing
lower extremity surgery. This randomized controlled study
was conducted between April 2018 and May 2019. This
study included 60 patients who underwent lower extremity surgery. After using guided imagery, the posttest mean
Visual Analog Scale score of patients in the intervention
group was found to be 2.56 (1.00 ± 6.00), whereas the
posttest mean score of patients in the control group was
4.10 (3.00 ± 6.00), and the difference between the groups
was statistically significant (p <.001). Guided imagery
reduces short-term postoperative pain after lower extremity
surgery.
