Clinical Trial Description

The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises Applied to Nurses Working in The İntensive Care Unit on Sleep Quality and Fatique İntensity The study was planned to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied to nurses working in intensive care units on sleep quality and fatigue intensity. The study will be conducted with a randomized controlled experimental research design in order to evaluate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied to nurses working in the intensive care unit on sleep quality and fatigue intensity. This randomized controlled study will be conducted on nurses working in Adana City Training and Research Hospital Intensive Care Unit. Nurses will be divided into 2 groups as experiment and control. It will be carried out on 60 people in total, 30 for the experimental group, 30 for the control group. Progressive relaxation exercises will be applied by nurses for 45 minutes, 3 days a week for an average of 1 month. The data of the study will be collected after the purpose of the study is explained to the nurses and their verbal and written consents are obtained. In the collection of research data, the Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers and containing the introductory information of the nurses, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale PSQI), the Fatigue Severity Scale for fatigue (FSS) will be collected from control and intervention groups through face-to-face interviews. There are a limited number of studies showing the effects of progressive relaxation exercises applied to intensive care nurses on sleep quality and fatigue intensity in our country. With the study, the use of these exercise programs, which can be easily applied by nurses who work under heavy workloads in the intensive care environment, will increase, and it will be ensured that nurses work more fit and efficiently and are supported in terms of sleep fatigue. ;
