Control group

NO INTERVENTION

older people's who have a Standard Mini Mental Test score of 23 and above, living in nursing homes.

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention group: older people's who have a Standard Mini Mental Test score of 23 and above, living in nursing homes.The researcher will perform 16 sessions of progressive relaxation exercises twice a week for 8 weeks. Each PMR exercise was conducted under the guidance of the researcher. Before and after each session of the Progressive Muscle Relaxation They will be measured heart rate and blood pressure.

Other: Progressive muscle relaxation exercise

Interventions

Progressive muscle relaxation exerciseOTHER

The CD on relaxation exercises developed by the Turkish Psy-chological Associationwas used.In the second of CD 27-min section; relaxation exercises are explained to the accompaniment ofrunning water sounds and verbal instructions. Progressive relaxation technique includes stretching and relaxing the bigmuscle groups (hands, arms, neck, shoulders, face, chest, abdomen,hip, feet andfingers) in the human body on purpose. When steps ofProgressive Relaxation Exercises are analyzed, it is observed thatlearning how to take correct and deep breaths is the most impor-tant step towards learning relaxation. In addition, taking correct breaths is used as a part of the exercise among all relaxation exercises.Steps of Progressive Relaxation Exercise:- breathing exercises- lower extremity exercises- upper extremity exercises- exercise of respiratory muscles. Elderly individuals will receive PMR exercise twice a week under the guidance of an investigator for eight weeks.
