Abstract
The research project is “A quasi experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation technique on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness among the elderly people residing in selected old age homes at Madurai”. Pretest and post test non equivalent control group research design was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used. The total sample size was 60. Out of which 30 samples were in the experimental group and 30 were in the control group. Modified insomnia screening tool was used to screen the samples. The modified epworth daytime sleepiness scale was used to assess the daytime sleepiness. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale was used to assess the sleep quality among the elderly people. The selected elderly people in the experimental group were given with progressive muscle relaxation technique for 30-45 minutes of duration per day for continuous 15 days. The posttest level of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness was assessed by using Pittsburgh sleep quality index and eppworth daytime sleepiness scale among both experimental and control groups. The study’s conceptual framework was based on Wiedenbach’s helping art of clinical nursing theory. According to the comparison of mean posttest scores of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness on 15th day is (2.6), (1.8) was significantly lesser than the mean pre test scores (13.57), (15.8). The obtained ‘t’ values of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness on 15th day is (33.19), (44.01), which was statistically significant. Effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation technique over the time was calculated by One way ANOVA and Bonferroni. The obtained ‘P’ value of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness is P<0.001*** was statistically significant and confirmed that the progressive muscle relaxation technique was significantly effective in improving sleep quality and reducing abnormal daytime sleepiness among the elderly people. As a conclusion the Progressive muscle relaxation technique is effective in improving sleep quality and reducing the daytime sleepiness among the elderly people.
