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.
