What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of foot baths on the sleep quality of patients undergoing transurethral resection procedures. A total of 82 patients will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving foot baths or a control group without the intervention. The randomization will ensure equal distribution of participants across both groups, regardless of their age or gender. Preoperative sleep quality will be assessed using a specific scale to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult patients scheduled for transurethral resection procedures who can communicate effectively and consent to participate.
Not a fit: Patients who are unwilling to participate or have communication difficulties may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could improve postoperative sleep quality for patients undergoing urological surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of using foot baths is less common, similar studies exploring non-pharmacological interventions for improving sleep quality have shown promising results.
