The study data were collected by using "Descriptive Characteristics Form", pain severity of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Scale", and sleep quality of patients was measured using "Visual Analogue Sleep Scale". The patients were asked to perform the exercises with music an average of 30 min before sleeping every day for a week. The observation of the nurse working in department and the patient's statement were used for control. The ethical permission and the approval of hospital management were obtained for the study.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    intervention arm

    Data from the study was collected during the implementation of the "Nursing Surgical Diseases" class. Students who completed the 4-hour training program on sleep, relaxation exercises and survey practice have been pollsters of the study. Relaxing music for sleep, prepared by the Turkish Psychological Association, is uploaded to patients' mobile phones. Patients were asked to perform relaxation exercises for a week at bedtime, lasting an average of 30 minutes, and with music every day, taking advantage of nurse observation at the clinic with the patient's declaration in check. Students who took part in the practice served as reminders of patients' compliance with the exercises.
