简要总结
Aim: To examine the effects of progressive relaxation exercises (PRE) applied to pregnant women on sleep and life quality of pregnant women.
Methods: The research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study with pregnant women who applied to obstetrics clinics of a hospital. The research sample consisted of 66 pregnant women in the intervention and control groups. 'Pregnant Identification Form', 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index' and Quality of Life Scale were applied to the pregnant women, and progressive relaxation exercises training was given to the pregnant women in the intervention group by randomization, and their practice was provided for six weeks. The control group received routine care. After the first encounter, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Quality of Life Scale were re-administered to the pregnant women in the third and sixth weeks to evaluate their sleep and quality of life. The data obtained were evaluated using the SPSS 15.0 program using descriptive statistics, chi-square cross tables, Independent simple t test, Repeated Measures test.

结局指标
主要结局
Progressive relaxation exercises have a positive effect on the sleep quality of pregnant women.
时间窗: six weeks
Progressive Relaxation Exercises (PRE) are breathing and stretching technique that helps relax nerves and muscles from hand to foot and, reduces sympathetic nervous system activity by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. It is thought that at the end of the PGE training given to pregnant women, learning PGE and applying it for six weeks will reduce the sleep problems that increase especially in the third trimester and thus increase their sleep and life quality. The PSQI evaluates sleep quality over the past month and consists of a total of 24 questions. The self-report questions cover various factors related to sleep quality, including estimates of sleep duration, sleep latency, and the frequency and severity of specific sleep-related issues. The scoring includes 18 items, grouped into 7 component scores. The sum of the component scores yields the total PSQI score, which ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates poor sleep quality.
次要结局
- Progressive relaxation exercises have a positive effect on the quality of life of pregnant women.(six weeks)
