Progressive Muscle Relaxation and Stress in Nursing Students
Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Perceived Stress Among Nursing Students During Psychiatric Nursing Clinical Practice: A Quasi-Experimental Study
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This quasi-experimental study was conducted with fourth-year nursing students enrolled in the Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing course at KTO Karatay University. The study used a pretest-posttest control group design. Students were allocated to intervention and control groups according to their positions on the official class attendance list; students with odd-numbered positions formed one group and those with even-numbered positions formed the other group. The intervention group was determined by a random selection from sealed envelopes labeled "odd numbers" and "even numbers." A total of 60 students participated in the study, with 30 students in each group.
Baseline data were collected using a Student Information Form and the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students. Following the pretest assessment, students in the intervention group participated in progressive muscle relaxation sessions once a week for five weeks. Each session lasted approximately 30-40 minutes and included diaphragmatic breathing and systematic tensing and relaxing of major muscle groups under the verbal guidance of the researcher. Students in the control group continued their usual routines and received no relaxation training or additional intervention during the study period.
At the end of the five-week intervention period, the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students was readministered to both groups. Pretest and posttest perceived stress scores were compared within and between groups to evaluate the effect of the progressive muscle relaxation intervention.

実験的：Progressive Muscle Relaxation Group
Participants in this group received progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) sessions administered by the researcher once a week for five weeks.
Each session lasted approximately 30-40 minutes.

Participants in the intervention group received progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) once a week for five weeks.
Each session lasted approximately 30-40 minutes.
During the first session, participants received brief instruction on PMR and diaphragmatic breathing.
Under the researcher's verbal guidance, participants systematically tensed each major muscle group for approximately 5-7 seconds and then relaxed it.
The same protocol was repeated weekly for five weeks under similar conditions.

介入なし：Control Group
Participants in the control group continued their usual routines and received no relaxation training or additional intervention during the study period.

Perceived Stress Level
時間枠：Baseline and immediately after the 5-week intervention
|
Perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (PSSNS).
The scale consists of 29 items across six subscales.
Each item is rated from 0 (not stressful for me) to 4 (extremely stressful for me), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 116.
Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress.

|
This subscale of the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (PSSNS) consists of 8 items (items 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 19).
Each item is rated from 0 to 4, yielding a subscale score ranging from 0 to 32.
Higher scores indicate higher perceived stress related to patient care.
