Full description

Anxiety is one of the most common and compelling symptoms in individuals receiving treatment in psychiatry clinics. The issue of managing anxiety is very important in psychiatry clinics. Various pharmacological, physical, and therapeutic methods are applied to reduce and manage these symptoms. In addition to pharmacologically applied medical treatment, non-drug applications used as supportive are recommended in terms of reducing the symptoms of the disease and increasing the quality of life of the individual. These non-drug methods are; aromatherapy, physical exercise, light therapy, and music therapy. physical exercise; It is defined as planned, structured, repetitive movements to promote or maintain physical and mental health. Aerobics (brisk walking, dancing, cycling), endurance and resistance (squeezing rubber balls using elastic resistance bands and lifting weights), and flexibility and balance exercises (qigong, yoga, and pilates) are examples of physical exercises. In the literature, the effect of Qigong practices on anxiety in many patient groups has been examined, but no study has been found on the effect of Qigong relaxation exercises on the level of anxiety in inpatient psychiatric patients. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of Qigong relaxation exercises applied in the psychiatry clinic on the anxiety level of patients. Patients will be divided into intervention and control groups in a randomized controlled manner. After obtaining ethics committee approvals for the intervention group, clinics will be informed about the Qigong relaxation exercises study and it will be planned to place this study in the daytime program with the clinicians. The most appropriate time for patients to practice qigong relaxation exercises was determined after the morning meeting. No qigong exercise will be performed for the control group. Before the application, the Personal Information Form, STAI Form I, will be applied to the patients in the Intervention and Control group. Patients in the intervention group are expected to answer the STAI Form I scale after qigong relaxation exercises. It planned to apply the same forms as planned in the intervention group without any application in the control group. Personal Information Form and STAI Form I Scale will be filled by the patients in the form of self-report. The practice of the qigong relaxation exercise will take place after the good morning meetings. Qigong relaxation exercise is a mindfulness-based exercise and is a type of exercise consisting of body movements and relaxation in harmony with breathing used to relax the body and mind, reduce stress, distract attention from negative thoughts, accelerate blood flow, and improve emotions. It is planned to apply this exercise once for 40 minutes to the patients included in the intervention group as a group activity by researchers trained on this subject.
