Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of breathing exercises on pain, anxiety and fatigue in patients receiving brachytherapy treatment.
Method: The sample of the study will consist of 56 women who applied to the Brachytherapy Unit of a training and research hospital. The research data will be collected using the Introductory Information Form, Numerical Pain Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Piper Fatigue Scale. Although studies have been conducted in different areas regarding breathing exercises, no study has been found in our country regarding the effects of breathing exercises on patients receiving brachytherapy. Therefore, this study will determine the effects of breathing exercises on pain, anxiety and fatigue in patients receiving brachytherapy treatment and contribute to the literature.
Conclusion: It is thought that breathing exercises will be beneficial in reducing physical and psychological symptoms.

Experimental (breathing exercise)
The researcher has a breathing exercise certificate. In our study, the breathing exercise application consists of three stages: box breathing, sigh breathing and diaphragm breathing.
Patients will be asked to continue the breathing exercise application for 2 weeks and will be reminded to do the breathing exercises. Box and sigh breathing will be done 3 times a day (morning, noon and evening) every day for 2 weeks. Diaphragm breathing exercise will be applied for 2 minutes in the first week and 4 minutes in the second week.
