The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercise With Music Therapy on Sleep Quality and Pain Intensity

This study was conducted to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises with music therapy on sleep quality and pain severity of patients hospitalized in the surgical departments of a university hospital.This single-blind, pre-test-post-test with control group design quasi-experimental study was carried out between March-July 2019. 31 patients who were hospitalized in surgical departments for at least one week and regularly performed relaxation exercises consisted of experimental group, and 31 patients who were hospitalized for at least one week but did not do relaxation exercises consisted of control group. The study data were collected by using "Descriptive Characteristics Form", pain severity of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Scale", and sleep quality of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Sleep Scale". The patients were asked to perform the exercises with music an average of 30 min before sleeping every day for a week. The observation of the nurse working in department and the patient's statement were used for control. The ethical permission and the approval of hospital management were obtained for the study. In the statistical analysis of the data, independent sample t test, one-way anova and paired sample t test were used. Statistical significance level was taken as p<.05.

Primary outcomes

  1. postoperative pain

    Time frame: In two groups, pain intensity pre-test and post-test values were measured with Visual Analog Scale. Pre-tests were evaluated in the first hour of their arrival in the service. Post-tests were measured at 09.00 in the morning on the 7th postoperative .

    Incision site pain experienced after surgery

  2. postoperative sleep quality

    Time frame: In two groups, sleep quality pre-test and post-test values were measured with Visual Analog Sleep Scale. Pre-tests were applied before the surgery. Post-tests were measured at 09.00 in the morning on the 7th postoperative
