What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on sleep quality in patients undergoing urological surgery. It addresses the common sleep disturbances experienced by elderly patients due to anxiety, pain, and hospitalization. By implementing a structured program of progressive relaxation exercises, the study aims to enhance sleep quality and mitigate negative outcomes associated with poor sleep, such as delayed wound healing and increased pain. The intervention is designed to be a simple, non-invasive method to improve overall patient well-being during the surgical process.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 who are scheduled for urological surgery and do not have any significant cognitive or psychiatric disorders.
Not a fit: Patients with severe cognitive or psychiatric disorders, or those with sleep apnea or other diagnosed sleep disorders, may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve sleep quality and recovery outcomes for patients undergoing urological surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific application of progressive muscle relaxation in this context may be novel, similar studies have shown positive outcomes in improving sleep quality through relaxation techniques.
