Timepoint: Before, one and three days after the breathing and stretching exercises intervention. Method of measurement: The patient's level of resilience in this study is a score obtained from completing the Connor Davidson questionnaire before, one and three days after the intervention. This questionnaire has 25 questions and its aim is to measure the level of resilience in different individuals. To obtain the overall score of the questionnaire, the total scores of all questions are added together, this score will have a range from 0 to 100.
