Investigation of the Effect of Progressive Relaxation Exercises on Pain and Bowel Movements in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does progressive relaxation exercises reduce pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy? Does progressive relaxation exercises increase bowel movements in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Detailed Description
-----------------
The purpose of our experimentally randomized controlled study, which researchers conducted in order to study the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on pain and bowel movements in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is to reduce pain by intermittent application of progressive relaxation exercises to patients after surgery and to study the effect of exercise on bowel movements at an early stage. after the necessary permissions have been obtained july- september dates, Van Yüzüncü yıl university Dursun Odabaş medical center, in the general surgery clinic , patients who agree to participate in the study and meet the sample selection criteria will be included in the study. Patient presentation form, bowel movement monitoring form and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Form will be used in the collection of research data.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Form | it is a scale with two ends named differently on the vertical or horizontal line with a length of 10 cm (0=no pain, 10=the most severe pain). Marking the point corresponding to the intensity of pain felt by the patient on this line | examination between 1-2 days until Decontamination from surgery | 
| bowel movement monitoring form | It is the form in which the intestinal sounds, gas extraction and defecation sounds of the patients are monitored by the researcher. | examination between 1-2 days until Decontamination from surgery |
