The increase in the elderly population, insufficiencies in chronic diseases cause an increase in the number of dependent and dependent elderly. This situation negatively affects caregivers with elderly individuals. nonpharmacological interventions are commonly used to reduce the negative emotions of caregivers due to care. One of these applications is progressive relaxation exercises. This study was planned in a randomized controlled experimental study design to investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise. on care satisfaction, care burden and depression level of caregivers who care for bed dependent elderly individuals. The study will consist of 10 interventions, 10 control groups, and 20 caregivers.
Today, changes and developments in technology and lifestyles have lengthened average life span and increased the elderly population. The physical and cognitive changes, health problems, new roles such as being retired or widowed and economic losses come one after another for the elderly, and this turns the old age into a period full of difficul ties. Due to these changes in individuals with aging, older individuals make dependent and dependent on care. Caregivers experience care burdens, emotional stress, depression and anxiety during the care process. There are various non-pharmacological applications in the literature aimed at reducing the level of depression and care burden of caregivers. The non-pharmacological methods used in this study for older people's included progressive muscle relaxation exercise.
Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise. on care satisfaction, care burden and depression level of caregivers of bedridden elderly individuals.
Methodology: This is randomized clinical test. The study will consist of 10 interventions, 10 control groups, and 20 caregivers. The progressive muscle relaxation technique combined with music was employed. In order to collect the data, we adopted the interview with form filling technique, using the introductory information form, The Carer's Assessment Of Satısfactıon Index (Cası-TR), the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS); and the Beck Depression Scale (BDS).
Aksaray University is the lead sponsor of 14 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Individuals who provide home care to an elderly person who is dependent on the bed
Individuals who provide home care to an elderly person who is dependent on the bed. It is planned that the exercises will be conducted two days a week with the researcher and on the other days by the caregiver herself for a total of eight weeks.

The CD on relaxation exercises developed by the Turkish Psy-chological Associationwas used.In the second of CD 30-min section; relaxation exercises are explained to the accompaniment ofrunning water sounds and verbal instructions. Progressive relaxation technique includes stretching and relaxing the bigmuscle groups (hands, arms, neck, shoulders, face, chest, abdomen,hip, feet andfingers) in the human body on purpose. When steps ofProgressive Relaxation Exercises are analyzed, it is observed thatlearning how to take correct and deep breaths is the most impor-tant step towards learning relaxation. In addition, taking correct breaths is used as a part of the exercise among all relaxation exercises.Steps of Progressive Relaxation Exercise:- breathing exercises- lower extremity exercises- upper extremity exercises- exercise of respiratory muscles.
