Sponsor: Ataturk University

Summary

The research will be conducted to evaluate the effects of Virtual Reality-Based Video and Benson Relaxation Exercise Applied to Palliative Care Providers on Sleep Quality, Fitness and General Well-Being. In the Palliative Care Center; The palliative patient group will be comprised of individuals aged 18 and over who provide care. The population of the research consists of 210 people. Individuals will be distributed to the virtual reality video experimental group (30), Benson relaxation exercise experimental group (30) and control (30) groups by simple randomization method. Personal Information Form, Sleep Quality Index, Subjective Wellness Scale and General Well-Being Scale will be used to collect research data. Personal information form, Sleep Quality Index, Subjective Well-Being Scale and General Well-Being Scale will be administered to the caregivers in both the experimental group and the control group by the researcher using face-to-face interview technique (pre-test). The caregivers, the first group in the experimental group, will be shown a total of 8 sessions of virtual reality-based videos (nature, forest walks and city tours, etc.) for an average of 30 minutes, twice a week for 4 weeks. The caregivers, who are the second group in the experimental group, will have a total of 8 sessions of Benson relaxation exercises for 20-25 minutes, twice a week for 4 weeks. No intervention will be made to the caregivers in the control group. At the end of the sessions, Sleep Quality Index, Subjective Well-Being Scale and General Well-Being Scale (post-test) will be applied to the experimental and control groups. The basic question it aims to answer is: Do virtual reality-based video and BENSON relaxation exercises applied to palliative care givers affect sleep quality, vitality and general well-being?
