The Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises on Anxiety, Satisfaction and Stress Levels Before Simulation Education

The simulation-based learning method causes a sense of anxiety in students. Studies have shown that progressive relaxation exercises have a positive effect on anxiety. This study, will be tried to determine the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises applied to the students before the simulation training on anxiety, student satisfaction, and stress.This study is an intervention study with a pretest-posttest control group. Before the study, Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form will be applied. After applying progressive relaxation exercises to the intervention group, they will be taken to the simulation laboratory. The control group will be taken to the simulation laboratory without any intervention. After the simulation application, the scales will be re-applied and the vital signs of the students will be measured again.

Inclusion Criteria:Volunteer students aged 18 and over will be included in the study.Exclusion Criteria:Using any medication that affects the heart rate,Having any psychiatric disease such as anxiety disorder,Students who do not accept to participate in the research will not be included in the research.
