The healthcare profession of dental hygiene can be a highly stressful academic path and occupation. Physical stressors can quickly lead to postural disturbances and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to instrument grasping while under muscle tension, working with vibrating instruments, and performing repetitive micromovements. Chronic, high stress levels have the potential to lead to burnout, fatigue, and other health problems, which can impact a student's ability to perform well in their clinical rotations and didactic studies and may translate into their workforce experiences after graduation. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between Barre stretching and reported stress and pain levels among entry-level dental hygiene students. This study will be a 6-week experimental randomized control trial (RCT) where participants will be assigned to a 15-minute Barre stretching and breathing video two times a week for the experimental group or control group. The continuous dependent variables in this study will be the reported stress levels and reported pain levels of the entry-level dental hygiene students. The independent variable will be the Barre stretching intervention. The participants will include students at two universities enrolled in an entry-level dental hygiene program as first-year students. Baseline data collection for each participant will be obtained, and the study will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired t-test and independent t-test. The statistical significance level will be set at P=0.05.
Nurses have important duties in this regard due to their roles such as health education, health protection, development and consultancy. In this study, it is thought that the training given according to the health promotion model will both create a resource for nurses and contribute to the literature with the results obtained by applying this training to people experiencing PMS.The research will be conducted as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled study. H1: Education given according to the health promotion model has an effect on premenstrual symptoms, emotional eating behavior and perceived stress. H0: Education given according to the health promotion model has no effect on premenstrual symptoms, emotional eating behavior and perceived stress. The total number of students in the research population is 330.In the G*Power 3.1.9.7 program, for the effect size t test, d = 0.94, alpha (α) = 0.05, and power (1-β) = 0.95, and the minimum total sample number was determined as 52, experimental group: 26, control group: 26. . However, taking into account the losses in the study, a total of 60 people will be included in the study. (experiment:30, control:30). The first group will be divided into the group trained according to the health promotion model using the Philips 66 technique, and the second group will be divided into the control group.

Experimental group will be composed of caregivers who will paint mandalas. In addition to verbal and written information, the Patient Description Form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSÖ), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (WHO) and Short Form (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale have been applied to the 1st Stage. measurement will be obtained. The program will be implemented for 4 weeks, 4 days a week. 16 pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed separately on A4 papers and a new drawing will be given to caregivers every week. Mandala coloring papers and 12 colored felt-tip crayons will be given to each participant by the researcher. After the end of the sessions, the second measurements will be obtained by applying the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Scale (DSQ) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale.
