Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When the literature is examined, it is observed that the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on pain, anxiety and sleep quality have been frequently investigated in different populations. Studies conducted with nursing students focus on dysmonorrhea and clinical anxiety and stress . A limited number of studies have focused on the quality of life of students . There is no study examining the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on sleep quality, psychological endurance and quality of life together. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the effects of progressive relaxation exercises applied to nursing students on sleep quality, psychological endurance and quality of life. It is thought that our study results will contribute to the literature in terms of their originality.

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors

Students will be randomly assigned (using online randomization software) to experimental and control groups. Students will know that they are participating in the study and the interventions that will be applied to them, but they will be blinded by not knowing which group they are in. The study data will be collected by a second researcher who is blinded to the groups. In the statistical analysis of the data, the groups will be labeled as group 1 and group 2, and the third researcher will be blinded when evaluating the results. Thus, the third researcher will be blinded to the study groups. In order to avoid bias in the evaluation of the results, the first researcher, who is not blinded, will not participate in any stage of the evaluation process.

Control group

The students who formed the control group and accepted to participate in the study will be asked to fill out the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)", "Adult Resilience Scale", and "SF-36 Quality of Life Scale" in the first meeting. After filling out the data collection tools in the first meeting in the classroom, no intervention will be made. At the end of the 4th week follow-up period, separate data collection forms and post-test results will be obtained. The control group will be given a progressive relaxation exercise audio recording and booklets with written instructions stated in the audio recording.
