• Registration Number: NCT05647148
• Lead Sponsor: Ataturk University

Brief Summary

This study; In order to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on sleep quality, serotonin and melatonin levels in cardiac patients with sleep problems, a pretest/posttest experimental design study will be conducted with a control group.

The data of this study will be collected between May 2022 and December 2022. The research will be carried out with a total of 60 (experimental group=30, control group=30) patients treated for heart failure, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital.

The data of the study will be collected using the Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale and the Commercial ELISA kit.

Progressive relaxation exercises will be applied to the patients included in the experimental group for 3 consecutive days.

Before relaxation exercises, urine melatonin, serotonin level \[5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 6-sulphatoxymelatonin(6-HMS)\] measurement and sleep quality will be measured according to the kit procedure.

In the analysis of the data, significance p \<0.05 will be accepted. Institutional permission, ethics committee approval, and written consent from the participants were obtained before the study.

Detailed Description

The data of this study will be collected between May 2022 and December 2022. The research will be carried out with a total of 60 (experimental group=30, control group=30) patients treated for heart failure, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital.

The study was planned as a randomized controlled experiment. Patients meeting the research criteria will be randomly assigned to 30 experimental-30 control groups by randomization method.

Information Form, Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale and commercial ELISA kit will be used as data collection tools in the research.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
intervention group	Progressive Relaxation Exercises	progressive relaxiation exercises Will do sixty minutes of progressive relaxation exercise for three consecutive days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
melatonin and serotonin in urine	06.00 am the day before the progressive relaxation exercise	In order to determine the levels of serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and melatonin metabolite 6-sulphatoxymelatonin from patients in the experimental and control groups, urine samples will be taken between 23:00 at night and 07:00 in the morning at the end of the first and fourth day. On the 5th day, after the last urine taken in the morning is added, a urine sample will be taken into a sample container containing 10-15 ml of 6 M HCl and stored at -80 degrees for analysis in the biochemistry laboratory.
sleep quality,	06.00 am the day before the progressive relaxation exercise	Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale (RCS) consists of 6 items. In the scale, patients are asked to evaluate between 0 and 100 points for each item. The 6th item, which evaluates the noise level in the environment, is not included in the total score evaluation. The result is obtained by dividing the total score obtained from the scale by the number of questions, and "0-25" points indicate "very bad sleep" and "76-100" points indicate "very good sleep".

Secondary Outcome Measures

sleep quality,	06.00 am, after 3 consecutive days of progressive relaxation exercise	Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale (RCS) consists of 6 items.
