Interventions
The aim of relaxation exercises is to help individuals recognize the difference between tension and relaxation and to enable them to relax in situations of stress. These exercises are performed with light background music and verbal instructions, allowing patients to mentally focus on the process. The progressive relaxation technique involves the voluntary contraction and subsequent relaxation of muscle groups, typically starting from the hands and progressing to the feet, with each muscle group activated in sequence. During the exercise, the instructions and steps from the 'Relaxation Exercises' CD published by the Turkish Psychologists Association will be followed.
