Brief summary
Patients undergoing urological surgery are usually elderly individuals and may experience sleep problems due to factors such as fear of death, anesthesia, and uncertainty. Insomnia can also cause problems such as delayed wound healing, increased pain, tension, and difficulty complying with treatment. This study aimed to improve sleep quality by performing gradual muscle exercises on patients undergoing urological surgery.
Detailed description
Urological surgery is a type of surgery that is usually performed on elderly individuals and can cause serious sleep problems in the pre- and post-operative period. While these patients experience sleep problems due to factors such as fear of death and uncertainty about anesthesia before surgery, significant decreases in sleep quality are observed after surgery due to reasons such as pain, anxiety and hospitalization. This sleeplessness can lead to many negative consequences such as delayed wound healing, increased pain, tension and difficulty in compliance with treatment. Sleep disorders also increase patients' stress and reduce their resistance. Progressive relaxation exercises (PGE) are a method that provides relaxation throughout the body by tensing and then relaxing all muscle groups in the body. This method is used as an effective nursing intervention, especially in the management of diseases and symptoms. This study aims to evaluate the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on sleep quality in patients undergoing urological surgery.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Richard's Campbell sleep scale | on the morning of surgery, and on the 1st and 2nd day after surgery. | It was developed by Richards in 1987 and examines the previous night's sleep in 6 parameters: sleep depth, falling asleep, frequency of waking, duration of wakefulness, quality of sleep, noise level, and is scored between 100 'very appropriate' and '0' 'not appropriate'. The higher the score received from the scale, the higher the patient's sleep quality is considered. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) | on the morning of surgery, and on the 1st and 2nd day after surgery. | Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F) The questionnaire was developed by Lee et al. in 1991 (Lee et al, 1991). Scoring is done using a marked area on a ruler; 0 is the lowest score, and 100 is the highest score. In the fatigue scale, low scores indicate the severity of fatigue |
