The Effect of Progressive Relaxation and Breathing Exercise on Sleep Quality and Exercise Self-Efficacy in Patients With COPD

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation and breathing exercise on sleep quality and exercise self-efficacy in chronic obstructive pulmonary patients.

Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The study was conducted with 64 chronic obstructive pulmonary patients, where 36 of them were in the intervention group and 34 in the control group. Data of the study were collected using the descriptive information form, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale (Ex-SRES) for patients with COPD.

Results: When the total scores pertaining to the sleep quality index and exercise self-efficacy of the individuals in the intervention and control groups were compared, it was found that there were statistically significant differences in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05).

Keywords: Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy, sleep quality in patients with COPD, PGE along with breathing exercises, pulmonary rehabilitation

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
progressive muscle relaxation exercises changes sleep quality and exercise self-efficacy.	Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as an pre- test and 4 weeks later as a post-test test.	1 mounth

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
progressive muscle relaxation exercises with breathing exercise changes sleep quality and exercise self-efficacy.	Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as an pre-test and 4 weeks later as a post-test. .The Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale will be used as a pre-test and after 4 weeks as a post-test to measure the exercise capacity of COPD patients.	1 mounth
