Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The population of the study will consist of the caregivers of hemiplegic patients receiving treatment in the clinic on the specified dates in Turgutlu State Hospital and Manisa Merkezefendi State Hospital Physical Therapy Service. The sample will consist of individuals who meet the inclusion criteria. Individuals in Turgutlu State Hospital will constitute the intervention group of the study and individuals in Manisa Merkezefendi State Hospital will constitute the control group of the study. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied to family members caring for hemiplegic patients on caregiving burden and meaning of life. In the intervention group, those who agree to participate in the study will be asked to fill in the Patient and Patient Relative Form, Cheltanhams Patient Classification Scale, Caregiving Burden Scale and Meaning and Purpose of Life Scale, which include personal information and information about the patient. Relaxation exercises will be explained and demonstrated by the researcher (Funda AKTÜRK) once a day for 1 month starting from the hospitalisation to the clinic and will be played on the computer. You will be asked to perform these exercises after listening to the video (CD). Relaxation exercises are exercises based on stretching and relaxing your muscles. Before the application, in the middle of the application (15th day) and at the end of the application, all forms except the introduction form will be filled in again. In the Control Group, those who agree to participate in the study will be asked to fill in the;Patient and Patient Relative Form, Cheltanhams Patient Classification Scale, Caregiving Burden Scale and Meaning and Purpose of Life Scale, which include personal information and information about the patient. The control group will be asked to fill in the forms at the same time as the intervention group without any intervention.
