Comparative study of the effect of two methods of Benson relaxation and breathing exercises in preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing hysterectomy. 2025-12-06 anticipated 93 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/87847 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Since this study involves the comparison of three groups, the randomization method will be based on the use of random permuted blocks. To implement this technique, different permutations designated by the letters A, B, and C will be used, utilizing a random sequence generated by the statistical consultant through the website https://www.sealedenvelope.com/. The selected random blocks, prepared by the statistical consultant, will be provided to the study executor. Each block consists of 6 individuals who will be sequentially assigned to the specified groups, Blinding description: This study is single-blind in nature, meaning that the analyst may not know whether the data belong to the control group or the intervention group. During the implementation phase, to reduce the risk of performance bias, the training for breathing exercises and the Benson relaxation technique will be conducted by the principal researcher. However, data collection (anxiety questionnaire) will be performed by another individual who is unaware of the group assignments. In this way, roles are separated, and the likelihood of bias will be minimized. N/A hysterectomy. Intervention 1: Intervention group one: Benson relaxation - The Benson relaxation intervention will be performed completely on the patients by the researcher on the patient's bed. First, the intervention will be fully taught to the patient based on the Benson relaxation text. Patients will practice the intervention in the presence of the researcher until they master it, and all the patient's questions will be answered. This intervention will be performed on the patients in two sessions (the night before the operation and the day of the operation before entering the operating room), each time for 20 minutes. Intervention 2: Second intervention group: Breathing exercises - Breathing exercises will be taught to patients individually by the researcher the day before surgery in the patients' hospital room using simple and understandable sentences and face to face. The training will continue until learning occurs. Patients will practice the intervention in the presence of the researcher until they master it. This intervention will be performed on patients in two sessions (the night before surgery and the day of surgery before entering the operating room) for 20 minutes each time. Intervention 3: Control group: No intervention - In this group, no intervention will be performed by the researcher and only routine care will be provided to the patients. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: In this study, some of the data can be shared after approval by the main researcher. When: Access begins 6 months after results are published. To whom: The data will only be available to researchers working in academic and scientific institutions. Conditions: The data can be used by researchers working in academic and scientific institutions upon request from the corresponding author. Where to obtain: Data are available upon request from the corresponding author via email. How to obtain: After the results are published, the requester can request access to the data via email to the corresponding author. The data will be available after approval by the corresponding author. Comments:
