Overview
Brief Summary
The increase in the elderly population, insufficiencies in chronic diseases cause an increase in the number of dependent and dependent elderly. This situation negatively affects caregivers with elderly individuals. nonpharmacological interventions are commonly used to reduce the negative emotions of caregivers due to care. One of these applications is progressive relaxation exercises. This study was planned in a randomized controlled experimental study design to investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise. on care satisfaction, care burden and depression level of caregivers who care for bed dependent elderly individuals. The study will consist of 10 interventions, 10 control groups, and 20 caregivers.
Detailed Description
Today, changes and developments in technology and lifestyles have lengthened average life span and increased the elderly population. The physical and cognitive changes, health problems, new roles such as being retired or widowed and economic losses come one after another for the elderly, and this turns the old age into a period full of difficul ties. Due to these changes in individuals with aging, older individuals make dependent and dependent on care. Caregivers experience care burdens, emotional stress, depression and anxiety during the care process. There are various non-pharmacological applications in the literature aimed at reducing the level of depression and care burden of caregivers. The non-pharmacological methods used in this study for older people's included progressive muscle relaxation exercise. Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise. on care satisfaction, care burden and depression level of caregivers of bedridden elderly individuals. Methodology: This is randomized clinical test. The study will consist of 10 interventions, 10 control groups, and 20 caregivers. The progressive muscle relaxation technique combined with music was employed. In order to collect the data, we adopted the interview with form filling technique, using the introductory information form, The Carer's Assessment Of Satısfactıon Index (Cası-TR), the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS); and the Beck Depression Scale (BDS).
