Brief Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises applied to nurses working in the intensive care unit three times a week for 1 month on sleep quality and severity of fatigue. The research is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled study with an intervention control group.

Conditions

Sleep Disturbance; Fatigue

Keywords

Nurse; Progressive Relaxation; Sleep; Intensive Care; Fatigue

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Post-application fatigue severity rate of nurses working in the intensive care unit

  Fatigue severity scale The scale developed by Krup (1989) is a nine-item scale that evaluates the overall effect of fatigue on daily activities.In the scale, individuals are asked to rate the fatigue they have felt during the past week from 1 to 7. The total score is calculated by taking the average of nine items. The cut-off value for pathological fatigue was determined as 4 and above. The lower the total score, the less fatigue.

  Scales are filled before starting the application and at the end of the application after 1 month.

• Decrease in sleep quality scale scores after the application

  The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI, PSQI) was developed in 1989 by Buysse et al. (Buysee et al, 1989) to evaluate sleep quality in the last month. The scale consists of a total of 24 questions, 19 of which were answered by the individual and five of them by the relatives of the individual.Each item score varies between "0" and "3", and the sum of the scores of the items in the seven components gives the scale score of 18.The total PUKI score ranges from 0 to 21. If this score is above 5, it indicates that the sleep quality of the individual is poor.

  Scales are filled before starting the application and at the end of the application after 1 month.
