About

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.
