Sponsored by Ataturk University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This study; In order to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on sleep quality, serotonin and melatonin levels in cardiac patients with sleep problems, a pretest/posttest experimental design study will be conducted with a control group.
The data of this study will be collected between May 2022 and December 2022. The research will be carried out with a total of 60 (experimental group=30, control group=30) patients treated for heart failure, myocardial infarction and angina pectoris in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital.
The data of the study will be collected using the Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale and the Commercial ELISA kit.
Progressive relaxation exercises will be applied to the patients included in the experimental group for 3 consecutive days.
Before relaxation exercises, urine melatonin, serotonin level [5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 6-sulphatoxymelatonin(6-HMS)] measurement and sleep quality will be measured according to the kit procedure.
In the analysis of the data, significance p \<0.05 will be accepted. Institutional permission, ethics committee approval, and written consent from the participants were obtained before the study.

Exclusion Criteria:
progressive relaxiation exercises Will do sixty minutes of progressive relaxation exercise for three consecutive days
Behavioral: Progressive Relaxation Exercises
no intervention
In the first part of this audio material, which consists of three parts; The definition of deep relaxation, its purpose and points to be considered during exercise are included. The second part, consisting of an average of thirty minutes, includes the explanation of relaxation exercises with verbal commands accompanied by the sound of the stream. In the last part, there is only relaxation music without any commands.
sleep quality,
Richard's Campbell Sleep Scale (RCS) consists of 6 items. In the scale, patients are asked to evaluate between 0 and 100 points for each item. The 6th item, which evaluates the noise level in the environment, is not included in the total score evaluation. The result is obtained by dividing the total score obtained from the scale by the number of questions, and "0-25" points indicate "very bad sleep" and "76-100" points indicate "very good sleep".
Time frame: 06.00 am the day before the progressive relaxation exercise
melatonin and serotonin in urine
In order to determine the levels of serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and melatonin metabolite 6-sulphatoxymelatonin from patients in the experimental and control groups, urine samples will be taken between 23:00 at night and 07:00 in the morning at the end of the first and fourth day. On the 5th day, after the last urine taken in the morning is added, a urine sample will be taken into a sample container containing 10-15 ml of 6 M HCl and stored at -80 degrees for analysis in the biochemistry laboratory.
Time frame: 06.00 am the day before the progressive relaxation exercise
