Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of breathing and relaxation exercises on dyspnea, fatigue and self-care level in heart failure patients.

Detailed Description

The Effect of Breathing and Relaxation Exercise on Dyspnea, Fatigue and Self-Care Level in Patients with Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Study It was planned according to CONSORT rules as a randomized controlled study to determine its effect on self-care level.

The hypotheses of the research are as follows:

a: Breathing exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on the mean dyspnea score. b: Breathing exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on the mean fatigue score. c: Breathing exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on self-care mean scores. d: Relaxation exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on the mean dyspnea score. e: Relaxation exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on the mean fatigue score.

f: Relaxation exercise applied to HF patients has an effect on self-care mean scores.
