Abstract
This parallel-group randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on dyspnea and comfort level in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study utilized a stratified and block randomization methodology, with 42 patients completing the trial. Patients in the intervention group received 30-min progressive relaxation exercises for 6 weeks. The mean dyspnea level scores of the patients in the intervention group at week 6 were found to be lower than those of the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < .05). Furthermore, a statistically significant decrease in patients' mean comfort level scores in the intervention group was observed over the follow-up periods (P < .05). The study results demonstrate that progressive relaxation exercises constitute an effective nursing intervention for managing dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
期刊介绍：
Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
