“…In the studies of Seo et al, they were reported that footbath performed for 20 minutes 3 times a week before going to bed was effective in reducing edema in both legs in nursing students (p<0.001). 6,11 Lee et al reported that footbath applied for 20 minutes reduced tibia edema in operating room nurses who stood for long periods of time (p<0.05). 13 Oh and Yoon also found that leg massage applied by the nurses for 10 minutes reduced leg edema.…”

“…The students experience physiological, psychological, social and environmental stress because they have to work for a long time in clinical learning environments and apply treatment and care practices for the first time in the clinical setting. [2][3][4][5][6] Problems such as edema and pain may occur in the lower extremities due to the long-term standing work of the students and the stress they experience. Eyi and Eyi found that second-year students (62.9%) experienced statistically significantly more stress during clinical practice than third-year students (37%) (p=0.002).…”

Introduction and aim. Edema and pain may occur in the lower extremities due to the long-term standing work of nursing students and the stress they experience. In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of foot baths applied after clinical practice on foot pain and leg edema in nursing students. Material and methods. This randomized controlled study was carried out with second year nursing students. The intervention group received a foot bath (including immersion in water and massage). No intervention was performed on the control group. The data was collected using a survey form, edema follow-up form, visual analog scale, and foot bath equipment. Results. Edema levels in the right tibia decreased statistically on the 1st and 2nd days after the foot bath compared to the values measured after nurses performed clinical practice, while the edema level in the left tibia decreased significantly in the first and fourth weeks (p<0.05). The right and left foot pain scores in the intervention group increased in the evening of the day after the clinical practice compared to before clinical practice, and pain scores decreased statistically significantly after foot bath (p<0.001). The foot pain scores expressed by the students in the first week increased continuously (p<0.001). Conclusion. The study showed that a foot bath performed after clinical practice were effective for easing foot pain and leg edema.
