- Abstract
Background: Cardiac catheterization causes several complications such as discomfort (pain on the waist, back, and thigh folds), hemorrhage, prolonged length of hospitalization, and increasing treatment costs. Pharmacological therapy as the usual method to solve this problem has not shown improvement in reducing discomfort. This early ambulation nursing intervention method is expected to reduce pain. This research purpose to describedetermine the effect of early ambulation on patients’ discomfort due to pain caused by post-cardiac catheterization. Methods: This researchwas a quasi-experiment with two groups pretest-posttest design. The participants were posted cardiac catheterization patients divided into two groups with 16 participants. Hypothesis testing used an independent T-Test with a p-value < 0.05. Results and Discussion: The average pain scale of the intervention group before and after early ambulation was 3.63 and 0.38. While in the control group was 3.38 and without early ambulation 3.75, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There is a significant effect of early ambulation on the pain intensity of patients post-cardiac catheterization. It is suggested that applying early ambulation as the supportive treatment for these patients is useful.
