Summary

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a sensory-motor problem characterized by an uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling that causes a strong and overwhelming desire to move the legs, usually during periods of inactivity during sleep.It is reported that pregnancy is an important risk factor in the onset and worsening of RLS.Individuals with RLS avoid social activities, often experience psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic sleep disorders. Therefore, restless leg syndrome significantly affects daily life and coping with these problems. Individuals with RLS initially undertake a variety of non-pharmacological practices to relieve symptoms.Progressive muscle relaxation exercises, reducing the level of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood and heart rate, reducing oxygen consumption, regulating metabolic rate, lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, preventing fatigue and restlessness, decreasing pain by increasing endorphin levels, increasing coping with pain and stress, It has many benefits such as improving sleep and quality of life.This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise training and follow-up given to pregnant women with restless leg syndrome on the severity of restless leg syndrome, quality of life associated with restless legs syndrome, and sleep quality.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

progressive muscle relaxation exercise training

Progressive muscle relaxation exercises (PKGE); 16 large muscles (right hand and forearm, right upper arm, left hand and forearm of left arm, left upper arm, forehead, upper cheek and nose, chin, neck, abdomen, upper right arm, which people can do on their own after learning) leg, right calf, right foot, left upper leg, left thigh and left foot), followed by the contraction and then relaxation and accompanied by deep breathing, is a preferred method for reducing pain, anxiety and depression in individuals.The relaxation will be required to take 10-20 before stretching the next muscle group.
