Summary

Individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome have a low quality of life due to factors such as pain, sleep problems, high anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, difficulty performing daily living activities, and inhibited socialization (García-Martínez et al., 2012; Sieczkowska et al., 2020). Nurses apply care with a holistic approach philosophy that includes supportive, preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative aspects to promote and maintain health. Pranayama is an effective, non-invasive, cost-effective, and easily applicable approach that can be implemented within the framework of holistic care (İlter \& Ovayolu, 2021). It is the nurse's responsibility to provide care and create a comfortable environment for patients, improving their quality of life (Aktaş \& İlgin, 2023). In this regard, during the application and teaching of breathing exercises, nurses should carefully assess patients' belief in these exercises. They should plan with the patient the appropriate time, duration, and environment for breathing exercises and be able to evaluate the results (ÖZ, 2020). Studies evaluating the results of applying pranayama to individuals with fibromyalgia are limited in the literature. Therefore, it is thought that pranayama could greatly facilitate and provide concrete data on improving the quality of life for individuals with fibromyalgia by reducing pain, sleep problems, anxiety, and improving functionality.
