Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether progressive muscle relaxation exercises — tensing and releasing different muscle groups — performed before getting out of bed for the first time after open-heart bypass surgery can reduce pain and anxiety and improve vital signs. **You may be eligible if...** - Able to read and write in Turkish - Pain medication given at least 4 hours before the assessment - Conscious and able to communicate - Scheduled for your first (elective) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Had previous heart bypass surgery - Have other serious conditions that would prevent safe participation in relaxation exercises - Are unable to communicate or follow instructions Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERProgressive relaxation exercises

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.
