Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on the amount of pain, sleep quality and anxiety of hospitalized patients with hip fracture
Design
The study is a one-blind clinical trial study conducted on 100 patients with hip fractures eligible to enter the study and assigned randomly individual assigned to the intervention group (50 people) and control group (50 people) using coin toss.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Intervention group: the group will receive progressive muscle relaxation from the next day of surgery for three nights, while the last meal has been at least three hours. Each time, the process will take about 30 minutes. At the stage of preparation for the technique, the room's environment will be calmed down, and environmental stimuli will be minimized. The trainee participant will be asked to go to the bathroom, empty his bladder, dress loosely, take off his socks and shoes, lie on his back comfortably, minimize using five senses, and close his eyes. In the implementation phase, the participant is trained to contract each muscle of the upper limbs, shoulders, head and neck, chest, abdomen, and lower limbs for 15-10 seconds, respecting the order, and then relax for 15-20 seconds. At the same time as the exercises, the participant will be taught to exhale through the nose, the deep tail, and the mouth. If the contributor starts from the left upper limb and then moves to the right limb, they can also follow this principle for other movements. Each group of muscles will train back to back three times in a row.
