İntervention Group
Practicing Progressive Relaxation Exercises The training of the Zoom application progressive relaxation exercise for the nurses was done in two sessions for a total of 60 minutes. During the first interview, the definition, purpose, benefits, and application techniques of PRE were explained to the nurses in the intervention group. In the second session, the steps of progressive relaxation exercises were demonstrated by the trainer.
The trainer performed the PRE exercise online with the nurses. Nurses were asked to perform the PRE application in accordance with the commands in the video recordings. In addition, a guide in which the steps of applying progressive relaxation exercises for each muscle group were written was given to the nurses. It was stated that they should do the application regularly for 25-30 minutes in the morning every day at home for a month.
Progressive Relaxation Exercises
The trainer performed the PRE exercise online with the nurses. The video recording of the progressive relaxation exercises was shared with the nurses participating in the study on WhatsApp groups. Nurses were asked to perform the PRE application in accordance with the commands in the video recordings. In addition, a guide in which the steps of applying progressive relaxation exercises for each muscle group were written was given to the nurses. It was stated that they should do the application regularly for 25-30 minutes in the morning every day at home for a month. The PRE application was reminded daily from the WhatsApp group for the nurses to apply regularly to the sessions and not to disrupt the sessions. Nurses shared the messages stating that they were doing the PRE application on a daily basis for four weeks on WhatsApp groups.
Control Group
No intervention was applied to the control group during the study. However, after the research was completed, the video of the application of the progressive relaxation exercises to the control group was shared on the WhatsApp group.
