Summary

Chemotherapy is applied as a standard method in the treatment of cancer, which is an important public health problem in terms of incidence and mortality. Sleep quality due to cancer and its treatments is adversely affected. Cognitive behavioral therapies, walking and relaxation exercises are known to be beneficial in increasing sleep quality. For this reason, this study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises applied to individuals who are undergoing chemotherapy and whose sleep quality has deteriorated, on sleep quality. The research will be carried out between March and September 2022 in Konya City Hospital Chemotherapy Unit with patients undergoing chemotherapy. Patients who will receive chemotherapy will be informed about the study, and those who accept to participate in the study will be evaluated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the sample selection. They will be asked to fill out the PUKI. It will then be assigned to the control or experimental group with the randomization program assignment. Training on progressive muscle relaxation exercises will be given to the experimental group in the chemotherapy unit. Before going to sleep in the evening and during the day, they will be asked to do progressive muscle relaxation exercises in line with the instruction of the video. They will be asked to do the application every day for 8 weeks. At the end of the 2nd week, 4th week, 6th week and 8th week, they will be asked to fill the PUKI again. Only routine care will be applied to the control group and no intervention will be made. At the end of the 2nd week, 4th week, 6th week and 8th week, they will be asked to fill the PUKI again. After the evaluations, information about progressive muscle relaxation exercises will be given.
