The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises on Postoperative Pain
Sponsor: Bartın Unıversity
Summary
The indicators of patient recovery in the postoperative period include sleep, physical functionality, mental health, cognitive functionality, pain, and psychosocial functionality. This thesis aims to investigate the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on postoperative pain intensity, sleep quality, and recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.This study, designed as a randomized controlled experimental study, will be conducted between September 1, 2023, and August 1, 2024, at ÇAYCUMA State Hospital in ZONGULDAK province, Turkey, among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. A total of 96 patients will be recruited based on the sample size calculated using G-power analysis. Through block randomization, 48 patients will be assigned to the intervention group and 48 patients to the control group. Data will be collected using the Numeric Rating Scale for pain, the Richard-Campbell Sleep Scale, a sleep tracker smart wristband to measure sleep quality and duration, the Postoperative Recovery Index, and a Patient Information Form.

progressive relaxation exercise
Patients who undergo total knee replacement surgery in the experimental group will be taught progressive relaxation exercises. The exercise will last for 30 minutes and will be applied twice a day. Patients will wear a smart wristband. Patient Information Form, Numeric Rating Scale, Richard Campbell Sleep Quality Survey, and Postoperative Recovery Index Scale will be administered. The scales will be filled out for 5 days and will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
