28-29. Between the weeks of gestation, one-time progressive muscle relaxation exercise training prepared by the researcher will be given to the pregnant women. Exercise will be demonstrated in training. Later, pregnant women will be asked to explain and practice the exercise. Women will be repeated until they do the exercise completely correctly (Check-list 1). After the training, pregnant women will be asked to do progressive relaxation exercises at least 3 times a week (every other day). With the progressive muscle relaxation exercise daily follow-up schedule prepared by the researcher, the pregnant women will be followed for 8 weeks and weekly reminders will be made (via whatsapp® or text message). The final test application (36-37 weeks) will be done online at the end of 8 weeks to the pregnant women. In pre-test and post-test applications, RLS Severity Rating Scale form, Johns Hopkins Restless Leg Syndrome Quality of Life Scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index will be used.
No intervention will be applied to pregnant women, other than the routine training given in the pregnancy school. In the maternity school, training is given on physiological and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy, baby care, postpartum period, family planning. However, pregnant women are not given any information about RLS, coping methods, creating a healthy lifestyle, and progressive muscle relaxation exercises. Final test application to pregnant women; 36-37. It will be held online between weeks. In pre-test and post-test applications, RLS Severity Rating Scale form, Johns Hopkins Restless Leg Syndrome Quality of Life Scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index will be used.
