Summary:
This study aimed to examine the effect of relaxation exercise applied to patients who will undergo elective coronary angiography (CAG) for the first time, on their vital signs, anxiety and comfort levels.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' vital signs.
2. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' anxiety levels.
3. Does progressive relaxation exercises affect CAG patients' comfort levels. Researchers will compare the intervention group with the control group to see if relaxation exercise is effective.

Before coronary angiography, patients will undergo a relaxation exercise once. Vital signs, comfort and anxiety level will be evaluated before and after angiography.

Primary Outcome Measures: State Anxiety Scale, The State Anxiety Scale (SAS) shows how an individual feels under certain circumstances at certain times. It consists of 20 items rated on a four-point Likert-type scale ("1: none" to "4: all"). The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating more anxiety., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.
Secondary Outcome Measures: The General Comfort Scale Short Form, The General Comfort Scale Short Form assesses how comfortable an individual feels at the moment. The form consists of 28 items rated on a six-point Likert-type scale ("1=strongly disagree" to "6=strongly agree"). The total score ranges from 28 to 168, with higher scores indicating higher levels of comfort., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Vital Signs Follow-up (for blood pressure), The Vital Signs Follow-up Chart was developed by the researchers to record the parameters of blood pressure., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Vital Signs Follow-up (for pulse), The Vital Signs Follow-up Chart was developed by the researchers to record the parameters of pulse., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Vital Signs Follow-up (for respiration), The Vital Signs Follow-up Chart was developed by the researchers to record the parameters of respiration., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Vital Signs Follow-up (saturation), The Vital Signs Follow-up Chart was developed by the researchers to record the parameters of saturation., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Vital Signs Follow-up (for body temperature), The Vital Signs Follow-up Chart was developed by the researchers to record the parameters of body temperature., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.|The Visual Analog Scale, The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a 10 cm long horizontal or vertical line with anchor statements "no pain or pain at its least" at the left-most end and "unbearable pain or worst pain imaginable" at the right-most end. The VAS is scored on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild pain, 4-7 moderate pain, 8-10 = severe pain)., First assessment; before intervention. Second assessment; immediately after the muscle exercise, immediately before the angiography. Third assessment; approximately 30 minute after the angiography.
