简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of exercise-assisted ergonomic training on pain, sleep quality, and anxiety levels among nursing students. The study population consists of students enrolled in the Nursing Department of Kütahya Health Sciences University. Sixty participants will be recruited according to inclusion criteria and randomly assigned into intervention and control groups.
The intervention group will receive a structured ergonomic training program combined with exercise sessions, including theoretical lectures and practical exercise videos delivered twice a week for four weeks. The control group will continue with their standard nursing curriculum without additional ergonomic or exercise support. Data will be collected using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and State Anxiety Inventory before and after the intervention.
The study is expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of ergonomic and exercise-based strategies in reducing pain, improving sleep quality, and lowering anxiety among nursing students, supporting the integration of such programs into nursing education.
