Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Beck Depression Inventory

  The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) created by Aaron T. Beck, is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, one of the most widely used psychometric tests for measuring the severity of depression. Its development marked a shift among mental health professionals, who had until then, viewed depression from a psychodynamic perspective, instead of it being rooted in the patient's own thoughts.

  8 weeks

• WHOQOL-BREFF

  Each individual item of the WHOQOL-BREF is scored from 1 to 5 on a response scale, which is stipulated as a five-point ordinal scale. The scores are then transformed linearly to a 0-100-scale (16, 17). The physical health domain includes items on mobility, daily activities, functional capacity, energy, pain, and sleep.

Deep breathing excercises

EXPERIMENTAL

is a technique that is based on the notion that mind and body integration produces relaxation technique requires participants to contract the diaphragm, slowly inhaling and exhaling. Deep breathing appears to amplify blood oxygen levels, massages the inner organs located in or close to the abdomen, and possibly stimulates the vagus nerve

Other: Deep breathing excercises; Other: Deep breathing exercises +and progressive muscle relaxation techniques

Deep breathing excercise and progressive muscle relaxation

EXPERIMENTAL

Begin with a deep breathing exercise. Inhale deeply through your nose, feeling your abdomen rise as you fill your body with air. Then slowly exhale out the mouth, the navel pulling in toward the spine as you expel the stale air out. Repeat 3-5 cycles

Other: Deep breathing excercises; Other: Deep breathing exercises +and progressive muscle relaxation techniques
