NCT ID NCT06769945
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a nursing approach based on Kolcaba's comfort theory can improve comfort and reduce pain in adults recovering from open heart valve surgery. Fifty-six patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or comfort-focused nursing. Their comfort and pain levels were measured at the start and after 72 hours. The goal was to see if this gentle, patient-centered care makes recovery more comfortable.
