Brief Summary: Background and Aim Although the incidence of gastrointestinal complications after cardiovascular surgery is reported to be rare it has been reported that patients experience problems with constipation within the week after discharge The presence of abdominal distension due to constipation after cardiac surgery may lead to prolonged wound healing paralytic ileus and gastric dilatation This study aimed to evaluate the effect of abdominal massage on constipation after cardiac surgery

Methods A prospective randomised controlled quasi-experimental study was conducted in the cardiovascular surgery clinic of a public hospital between September 2022 and July 2023 A power analysis was performed to determine the sample size A total of 130 patients were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group using a simple randomisation method Data were collected using a 21-item form from the first day after surgery Burping and defecation times of the patients were evaluated and recorded

Results The mean age of the experimental group was 552133 years while the mean age of the control group was 604106 years p0015 There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of sociodemographic characteristics bowel preparation and preoperative fasting times It was observed that bowel sounds started earlier in the experimental group 708 on the first postoperative day compared to the control group 462 on the first postoperative day X216629 p0005 The first burping time measurements in the control group x46415 hours were higher than those in the experimental group x31262 hours Postoperative defecation time was longer in the control group x9951 hours than in the experimental group x61611 hours
