Today, complementary and alternative treatments are frequently used to maintain health and well-being, reduce symptoms of diseases, and provide relaxation. Nurses contribute to the healing process by using pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods. Pharmacological methods cause nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, gastrointestinal and urinary system complications in individuals. Therefore, nonpharmacological methods without side effects are gaining importance. Nonpharmacological methods are easy and simple nursing interventions that do not have side effects, are cost-effective, can be easily taught to the patient, reduce pain and anxiety. They can also be used in addition to pharmacological methods and are preferred in patients who do not take medication or are unwilling to take medication. Providing a safe position without vascular complications and back pain after the procedure is very important for both the patient and the nurse who cares for the patient. Existing studies on post-intervention position changes have reported low incidences of bleeding and back pain, resulting in higher levels of patient comfort and satisfaction. These studies evaluated different angles of elevating the head of the bed and recommended further studies to evaluate the possibility of shifting patients to other positions after transfemoral cardiac interventions.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of position change after coronary angiography on pain, comfort and vascular complications.

Exclusion Criteria:
Not willing to participate in the study
The bed levels of the patients in the experimental group changed the patient's position every 2 hours immediately after catheter removal and sandbag placement in the following order: supine position with a 15° head angle, semi-Fowler position with a 30° head angle, and lateral right or left position with a 15° head angle.
Other: The bed levels of the patients in the experimental group changed the patient's position
No intervention

Average Pain Score on Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Pain will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). Higher scores indicate more severe pain.
Time frame: 0 hour (baseline), 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour
Average Score on Immobilization Comfort Scale (ICS)
Comfort during immobilization will be measured using the Immobilization Comfort Scale (ICS), a 20-item Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree). Higher scores indicate greater comfort. Cronbach's alpha in this study ranged from 0.77 to 0.84.
Time frame: 0 hour (baseline), 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour
Vascular Complication Score
Vascular complications will be assessed using the Oozing and Bleeding Scale and the Ecchymosis and Hematoma Formation Scale developed by Elsaman (2022). Categories include: no bleeding/ecchymosis/hematoma, oozing/bleeding \<2 cm², bleeding ≥2 cm², ecchymosis \<2 cm², hematoma ≥2 cm². Higher scores indicate more severe vascular complications.
Time frame: 0 hour (baseline), 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour
