Experimental Group
Control Group
The experimental group was informed about progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) before colonoscopy. PMR audio recordings were given to the patients. Abdominal pain and distention scores were determined after colonoscopy. PMR was applied to the patients for 30 minutes. These scores were determined again after exercise and at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 24th hours.
VAS pain and VAS distension scores of the control group were determined after colonoscopy and 30 minutes later. VAS form was given to all patients to determine VAS abdominal pain and VAS distension scores at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 24th hours after the procedure. The day after the colonoscopy, post test data were collected.
