Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Design: The study is a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest control group.
Method: The study will be conducted in a private psychiatric hospital in Turkey between October 2024 and June 2025. When hospital records were examined, it was determined that 100 patients received inpatient treatment in the last year. Therefore, the universe of the study consisted of 100 patients. The effect of some instructions in the Benson relaxation exercise on delusions and hallucinations is unknown. Therefore, psychosis and schizophrenia patients with delusions and hallucinations will be excluded from the scope of the study. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The study will be terminated when a total of 60 patients are reached, 30 in the intervention and 30 in the control group. Benson relaxation exercise will be applied to the patients in the intervention group. No application will be made to the patients in the control group. Research data will be collected with the "State-Trait Anxiety Scale" and "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index".
Hypotheses:
H1: The anxiety level of patients who applied Benson relaxation exercise is lower than the patients who did not.
H2: The sleep quality of patients who applied Benson relaxation exercise is better than the patients who did not.
