Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This thesis aims to investigate the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on postoperative pain intensity, sleep quality, and recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.This study, designed as a randomized controlled experimental study, will be conducted between September 1, 2023, and August 1, 2024, at ÇAYCUMA State Hospital in ZONGULDAK province, Turkey, among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. A total of 96 patients will be recruited based on the sample size calculated using G-power analysis. Through block randomization, 48 patients will be assigned to the intervention group and 48 patients to the control group. Data will be collected using the Numeric Rating Scale for pain, the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale, a sleep tracker smart wristband to measure sleep quality and duration, the Postoperative Recovery Index, and a Patient Information Form.

Objective: This thesis aims to investigate the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on postoperative pain intensity, sleep quality, and recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Method: This study, designed as a randomized controlled experimental study, will be conducted between September 1, 2023, and August 1, 2024, at ÇAYCUMA State Hospital in ZONGULDAK province, Turkey, among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. A total of 96 patients will be recruited based on the sample size calculated using G-power analysis. Through block randomization, 48 patients will be assigned to the intervention group and 48 patients to the control group. Data will be collected using the Numeric Rating Scale for pain, the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale, a sleep tracker smart wristband to measure sleep quality and duration, the Postoperative Recovery Index, and a Patient Information Form. The progressive relaxation exercises Compact disc 8 (CD) prepared by the Turkish Psychologists Association will be used for the patients' progressive relaxation exercise training. The data will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program. The data will be presented as numbers and percentages, means and standard deviations, and their distribution will be assessed to determine whether parametric or non-parametric tests should be employed for analysis. The data will be evaluated with a significance level of p\<0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
intervention group
The experimental group is the one in which progressive relaxation exercises will be taught, and we will monitor the results in patients.
progressive relaxation exercise
Patients who undergo total knee replacement surgery in the experimental group will be taught progressive relaxation exercises. The exercise will last for 30 minutes and will be applied twice a day. Patients will wear a smart wristband. Patient Information Form, Numeric Rating Scale, Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Survey, and Postoperative Recovery Index Scale will be administered. The scales will be filled out for 5 days and will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
control group
The control group is the one in which the service routine is implemented, and progressive relaxation exercises are not taught but monitored.
No interventions assigned to this group
