Abstract :
Pain, sleeplessness, and anxiety are the most
often reported symptoms in women who have had
cesarean sections. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of
Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique on pain,
quality of sleep and anxiety among women under gone
cesarean section. Methodology: A quantitative research
approach was applied, quasi-experimental pretest-
posttest control group design was used. Women who had
undergone cesarean sections were the target population.
The sample size was 40. In this study, demographic
performa and standardized tools were used to evaluate
the pain levels, sleep quality and level of anxiety-Visual
Analog Pain Scale (VAS), Groningen Sleep Quality
Scale, and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale were used.
Result: The study shows that the mean pretest of Visual
Analog Pain Scale score in intervention group and
control group were 3.9±0.30 and 3.85±0.50 respectively,
and the post test in intervention group and control group
were 1.70±0.47 and 2.90±0.30 respectively. The study
demonstrates a statistically significant mean difference
in Visual Analog Pain Scale score between the
intervention and the control groups at the post test.
In the intervention group and control group, the mean
pretest Groningen Sleep Quality scale scores were
2.90±0.30 and 2.85±0.36 respectively, while the mean
post-test scores were 1.05±0.22 and 1.85±0.36
respectively. The study demonstrates a statistically
significant mean difference in Groningen Sleep Quality
score between the intervention and the control groups at
the post test.
In the intervention group and controls, the mean pretest
Hamilton Anxiety Rating scores were 2.75±0.44 and
2.80±0.41 respectively, while the mean post-test scores
were 1.05±0.22 and 1.85±0.36 respectively. The study
demonstrates a statistically significant mean difference
in Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale scores between
intervention group and the control groups at the post
test.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that the
intervention group and control group’s scores were
different. The pain level was reduced, there was an
improvement in the quality of sleep, and there was a
reduction of anxiety in the intervention group.
