Sponsor's own description

Aim: The study aims to examine the effect of progressive relaxation exercises administered to nursing students via telenursing on sleep quality after the February 6 earthquake in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study. The study population consisted of first-, second-, and third-year nursing students enrolled in the nursing departments of two universities located in eastern Turkey, who were residing in one of the 11 cities affected by the earthquake during the February 6 Turkey earthquake. The sample included 86 students (40 experimental, 46 control). While the control group received no intervention, the experimental group received progressive relaxation exercises for 20 minutes every night for 4 weeks, 1 hour before the routine bedtime (or the time they planned to go to sleep) by making a video call (via Google Meet application) with the student. Data were collected using a personal information form and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale. Descriptive statistical methods (frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation), independent groups t-test, and paired t-test were used to evaluate the data. Conclusion: The research results can showed that progressive relaxation exercises could be an effective intervention in improving sleep quality after an earthquake. Additionally, conducting these exercises via telenursing could contribute significantly to the sustainability and control of the intervention.
