Official title
Effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises on Sleep, Fatigue and Pain in Lymphoma Patients
Overview
With regular practice, relaxation has been found to have many benefits such as reducing sensitivity to pain and fatigue, facilitating the transition to sleep, and improving quality of life. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation exercises applied to lymphoma patients on sleep, fatigue, and pain.
Detailed description
A total of 18 sessions of progressive relaxation were performed, 3 days a week for 6 weeks.
Interventions
