Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Music Therapy

music therapy was applied in the practice room. Environmental noise was reduced as much as possible; the room was dimly lit. The students were asked to close their eyes after sitting comfortably in a chair and focus on the music by asking them to imagine a different memory and place that would relax them instead of the thoughts that occupied their minds. The music was played through a portable computer for 15 minutes under the supervision of the researchers using an mp3 player program on the computer.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Music Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

"Mahur tune," one of the nonverbal instruments of the Traditional Turkish Music Authorities, was selected for the study with the opinion of a music therapy specialist.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise

In this study, the steps of applying progressive muscle relaxation exercises were created with the guidance of the "Relaxation Exercises " materials of the Turkish Psychological Association. Warning messages were hung on the door of the room, environmental noise was reduced as much as possible, and the room was provided with dim lighting. The students were asked to close their eyes and breathe deeply after sitting comfortably in a chair. After taking two deep breaths, they were told to dangle their arms and relax as much as possible. The hands, shoulders, neck, chest, abdomen, hips, legs, feet, toes, and facial muscles were made to relax while they breathed and relaxed while exhaling. They were asked to store the experience into their memories thoroughly so that they could recall this feeling for comfort during the day.
