Brief Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise on nurses' life satisfaction, comfort and burnout levels. Data will be collected by using Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Nurse Comfort Scale and Burnout Scale. The nurses in the intervention group will be asked to perform relaxation exercises. The nurses in the control group will not receive any intervention.

Conditions

Progressive Relaxation Exercise; Comfort; Life Satisfaction; Burnout

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Comfort

  The scale consists of 39 items in total. Each statement in the scale has a Likert-type rating ranging from 1-4 from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". 24 of the expressions are positive and 15 are negative, and negative items are reversed in scoring. Accordingly, a high score (4) indicates high comfort, a low score (1) indicates low comfort, and a low score (1) indicates high comfort in negative statements, and a high score (4) indicates low comfort. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.915.

  5 weeks after first meeting

• Satisfaction with Life

  It was developed to determine an individual's satisfaction with his/her life. The scale consists of five Likert-style items on a 7-point scale (1: strongly disagree, 7: strongly agree). The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 5 and the highest score is 35. A low score is accepted as an indicator of low life satisfaction and a high score as an indicator of high life satisfaction.

  5 weeks after first meeting

• Burnout

  It was created to measure the perceived burnout level. The scale consists of 22 items in total and is 7-point Likert type. These options are as follows in terms of severity; 1- Never, 2- Very Rarely, 3- Sometimes, 4- Most of the Time, 5- Always.
