About
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of relaxation and breathing exercises on individuals experiencing post-earthquake stress-related symptoms.
Full description
Earthquakes negatively affect survivors both physically and psychologically. Early psychological symptoms after disasters are considered normal responses to an abnormal event. Therefore, it is not unexpected to feel very intense negative emotions after such traumas. However, the chronicity of these negative emotions puts the lives of individuals at risk. Mental problems such as stress, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety are seen at high levels among earthquake survivors. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of relaxation and breathing exercises applied to earthquake survivors who experienced post-earthquake stress-related symptoms.
There are two gropus: relaxing exercise group and control group. Relaxing and breathing exercise protocol is only for relaxing exercise group. A protocol consisting of 40 minutes of progressive muscle relaxation exercise and breathing exercises, 3 times a week for 4 weeks, was planned. Control group participants were asked to continue their daily lives. Evaluations were made before and 4 weeks after the intervention and stress-related symptoms were measured.
