Detailed description: 
      Anxiety is one of the most common and compelling symptoms in individuals receiving treatment
      in psychiatry clinics. The issue of managing anxiety is very important in psychiatry clinics.
      Various pharmacological, physical, and therapeutic methods are applied to reduce and manage
      these symptoms. In addition to pharmacologically applied medical treatment, non-drug
      applications used as supportive are recommended in terms of reducing the symptoms of the
      disease and increasing the quality of life of the individual. These non-drug methods are;
      aromatherapy, physical exercise, light therapy, and music therapy. physical exercise; It is
      defined as planned, structured, repetitive movements to promote or maintain physical and
      mental health. Aerobics (brisk walking, dancing, cycling), endurance and resistance
      (squeezing rubber balls using elastic resistance bands and lifting weights), and flexibility
      and balance exercises (qigong, yoga, and pilates) are examples of physical exercises. In the
      literature, the effect of Qigong practices on anxiety in many patient groups has been
      examined, but no study has been found on the effect of Qigong relaxation exercises on the
      level of anxiety in inpatient psychiatric patients. Therefore, this study aims to examine the
      effect of Qigong relaxation exercises applied in the psychiatry clinic on the anxiety level
      of patients. Patients will be divided into intervention and control groups in a randomized
      controlled manner. After obtaining ethics committee approvals for the intervention group,
      clinics will be informed about the Qigong relaxation exercises study and it will be planned
      to place this study in the daytime program with the clinicians. The most appropriate time for
      patients to practice qigong relaxation exercises was determined after the morning meeting. No
      qigong exercise will be performed for the control group. Before the application, the Personal
      Information Form, STAI Form I, will be applied to the patients in the Intervention and
      Control group. Patients in the intervention group are expected to answer the STAI Form I
      scale after qigong relaxation exercises. It planned to apply the same forms as planned in the
      intervention group without any application in the control group. Personal Information Form
      and STAI Form I Scale will be filled by the patients in the form of self-report. The practice
      of the qigong relaxation exercise will take place after the good morning meetings. Qigong
      relaxation exercise is a mindfulness-based exercise and is a type of exercise consisting of
      body movements and relaxation in harmony with breathing used to relax the body and mind,
      reduce stress, distract attention from negative thoughts, accelerate blood flow, and improve
      emotions. It is planned to apply this exercise once for 40 minutes to the patients included
      in the intervention group as a group activity by researchers trained on this subject.
