What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Progressive relaxation exerciseBehavioural

    Also called PGE

    In this study, the relaxation exercises CD, which is a material created by the Turkish Psychological Association, was used. This CD consists of three parts. The first part consists of 10 minutes and this part explains the definition and purpose of deep relaxation exercise and the points to be considered during the exercise. The second part of the CD consists of 30 minutes of verbal explanation of the items of relaxation exercises accompanied by the sound of a stream. The third part consists of 30 minutes and includes only relaxation music.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comfort

    Measured using the "Immobilisation Comfort Scale". The total scores obtained from the scale vary between 20 and 120, and a high score indicates that the comfort is good.

    Measured: Comfort levels of the patients were measured on the morning of the first postoperative day (before mobilisation)

  2. Anxiety

    Measured with "State Anxiety Scale". The state anxiety section of the state trait anxiety scale was used. In the evaluation of the scale, all items are summed and this score is subtracted from the sum of the items marked as reversed and the number 50 is added to the result. The result is the state anxiety score. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is minimum 20 and maximum 80. The increase in the score in this range indicates that the anxiety level of the individual increases.

    Measured: postoperative day 1 before patients are mobilised
