Brief Summary

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

Aim: To examine the effects of progressive relaxation exercises (PRE) applied to pregnant women on sleep and life quality of pregnant women.

Methods: The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study with pregnant women who applied to obstetrics clinics of a hospital. The research sample consisted of 66 pregnant women in the intervention and control groups. 'Pregnant Identification Form', 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index' and Quality of Life Scale were applied to the pregnant women, and progressive relaxation exercises training was given to the pregnant women in the intervention group by randomization, and their practice was provided for six weeks. The control group received routine care. After the first encounter, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Quality of Life Scale were re-administered to the pregnant women in the third and sixth weeks to evaluate their sleep and quality of life. The data obtained were evaluated using the SPSS 15.0 program using descriptive statistics, chi-square cross tables, Independent simple t test, Repeated Measures test.
