Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental Group	Progressive Muscle Relaxation	The experimental group was informed about progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) before colonoscopy. PMR audio recordings were given to the patients. Abdominal pain and distention scores were determined after colonoscopy. PMR was applied to the patients for 30 minutes. These scores were determined again after exercise and at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 24th hours.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Individual Introductory Information Form	15 minutes	This form, which was created by the researcher with the support of the relevant literature, consists of 11 questions questioning the patients' education level, age,gender, employment status, marital status,income level, the coping methods they use when there is distension in their daily lives, the coping methods they use when there is pain in their daily lives, the status of having a colonoscopy before, the history of abdominal pain and distension of those who have a colonoscopy experience.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	10 minutes	The patient was asked to make a mark on a 10 cm horizontal line on the Visual analog scale showing his current state. In this study, for pain and distension; Markings were made on a 10 cm horizontal line, one end of which indicates that the patient's pain is very good (0 = no pain) and the other end is that the patient's pain is very bad (10 = most severe). The distance from the point where there was no pain and distension (0) to the point marked by the patient was measured. The value found shows the severity of pain and distention of the patient.
