This study was performed as a randomized controlled a study with a pre test-post test design, aimed to determine affect of reflexology masagge to the pain, anxiety and comfort level on the patients that are percutaneous coronary intervention.
A total of 74 patients, 37 in the experimental group and 37 in the placebo group, who met the criteria for inclusion in the study, constituted the sample of the study. Research data were collected with "Structured Patient Information Form", "Vital Signs Form", "State Anxiety Scale", "Visual Comparison Scale", "McGill Pain Scale Short Form" and "General Comfort Scale Short Form". Appropriate statistical methods were used in the analysis of the data.
Reflexology massage is a well tolerated, inexpensive, applicable and safe non-pharmacological method. The fact that nurses are educated and experienced about reflexology massage is of great importance for integrating reflexology massage into clinical settings.
If the results of this study are significant, it will be concluded that reflexology massage is effective in the management of pain and anxiety and increasing the comfort level in patients undergoing PCI. It will be recommended that reflexology massage be used in clinics to reduce pain, anxiety and increase comfort level in individuals undergoing PCI, and to include it in patient education. No study has been found in the national literature evaluating the effectiveness of reflexology massage in the management of PCI-related pain, anxiety and comfort. It is thought that this study will fill an important gap in the literature. The aim of this study, carried out in this context, is to reveal the effect of reflexology massage on pain, anxiety and comfort level in patients undergoing PCI.

The McGill Pain Scale Short Form-2
The McGill Pain Scale Short Form, developed by Melzack in 1987, provides information about the sensory characteristics, severity and effect of pain. The validity and reliability study in Turkey was developed by Yakut et al. in 2007. McGill Pain Scale Short Form-2 (MAS-SF-2) was developed in 2010 by revising the McGill Pain Scale Short Form by Bicici and Günes.
Time frame: 2 days
