Özet
Objectives: To identify patients’ general comfort levels in percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: This descriptive research included 2 hundred cardiac patients, whom were in the Medipol Mega University Hospital, Istanbul, during the period between May 2018 and May 2019. The data were obtained by General Comfort Questionnaire and evaluated using mean, standard deviation, percentage and t-test. Results: In this study reports that patients had the mean total comfort score as 3.03±0.3. They acquired the maximum score from the psychospiritual comfort subdimension and the minimum score from the physical comfort subdimension. Patients who experienced transradial percutaneous coronaryintervention had statistically higher general, physical, psycospiritual and environmental comfort levels than those who had transfemoral intervention (p<0.05). According to both access methods, relief and ease levels were significantly different. Conclusion: Patients who experienced percutaneous coronary intervention have above medium general comfort levels. Their physical comfort scored lowest within the comfort dimensions investigated in this study. The comfort level of the patients to whom the transradial method was applied was found to be higher in comparison with the transfemoral method.
