“…Hence the PMR technique on inducing sleep among Cancer patients is significantly effective. Furthermore, this finding is also in agreement with the results of another study done by Yilmaz and Kapucu (2017) who studied the "effect of progressive relaxation exercises on fatigue and sleep quality in Individuals with COPD". They reported that the patients with COPD who used PMR were seen to experience fewer sleep problems in their study.…”

Background: Pain, sleep disturbances, and physical activity limitation are the most tiresome complains of the women post caesarian section (Cs). Progressive muscle relaxation is a promising intervention for these complains. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation technique on post-cesarean section pain, quality of sleep and physical activities limitation. Research design: Randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: post-partum unit at Damanhour National Medical Institute. Sample: A purposive sample of 80 women undergoing Cs was recruited. Randomization block was done to randomly assign 40 women for the study group and 40 for the control group. Tools: Four tools were used for data collection: structured interview schedule, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, Physical activities limitation Questionnaire and Groningen Sleep Quality Scale. Results: After the intervention, PMR significantly decreased pain severity among study group in Pain Rating Index scale, Visual analogue pain scale, and Present Pain Intensity scale compared to the control group. The severe physical activities limitation significantly absent from the entire study group, while it was significantly present among 70% of the control group. About two-thirds (62.5%) of the study group had a good quality of sleep compared to 5% of the control group. Conclusion: PMR significantly decreased pain, improved physical activities and quality of sleep among women after Cs. Recommendation: PMR should be incorporated in the nursing intervention protocols post-Cs.

“…In a study by Ramakrishnan and Chandran, it was found that the PMR applied to older people with psychiatric disorders ( n = 30) improved their QOL 38 . In addition, studies examining the effects of PMR on different variables found that it increased relaxation, sleep quality, 39 and decreased fatigue 40 . Further studies have reported that PMR can significantly decrease depression, 41 anxiety, 42 and stress among older people in nursing homes, 43,44 increase subjective well‐being, 45 increase the QOL and life satisfaction, 28 and increase the quality of senior's lives and functional activities 38 .…”

Background Changes occurring in the aging process, the presence of decline in physical and cognitive functions, and the limitations of participation in activities affect adaptation to old age and the quality of life. This study aimed to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises on adaptation to old age and the quality of life of older people. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was used. The sample consisted of 45 older residents (21 intervention subjects, 24 controls) from a nursing home in a city of Turkey. The intervention group received progressive muscle‐relaxation sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks, while the control group received routine care. All PMR exercises were led by the researcher. All participants were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks using the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly and the Nottingham Health Profile. Results As a result of PMR exercises performed for 8 weeks, the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly and Nottingham Health Profile total mean scores of the intervention group improved significantly (P < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed, however, when comparing the intervention and control groups in terms of the level of adjustment to old age and health‐related quality of life, either at baseline or following the intervention (P > 0.05). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that progressive muscle relaxation can increase adaptation to old age and the quality of life and of older people in a nursing home.

“…There are studies in the literature on the effect of PMR in different patient groups and on different symptoms. These include nausea and vomiting (Nazik, Öztunç, & Şahin, 2014), fatigue and sleep disorders (Dayapo glu & Tan, 2012;Yılmaz, & Kapucu, 2017), back pain (Akmeşe & Oran, 2014), anxiety and depression (Zhou et al, 2015), and quality of life (Akmeşe & Oran, 2014;Gökşin & Ayaz-Alkaya, 2018). Despite the fact that PMR can be effective in coping with many symptoms, there is no study investigating its effects on PPD risk and general comfort.…”

In the postpartum period, mode of delivery, planned pregnancy, rapid changes in estrogen and progesterone hormone concentrations, quality of care, and environmental conditions affect the postpartum depression and comfort of the women. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on the postpartum depression risk and general comfort levels in primiparas. A quasi‐experimental design was used with pretest, post‐test, and control group. The intervention and control groups consisted of 35 women each. PMR was applied to intervention group for 8 weeks. There was a statistically significant difference between Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale pretest and third follow‐up scores of the intervention group (p < .05). There was a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the mean General Comfort Questionnaire scores at the first, second, and third follow‐ups (p < .05). PMR may be effective on decreasing the postpartum depression risk and increasing general comfort. PMR could be administered through home visits to help women in postpartum period cope with their mental health problems after discharge.
