The Effect of Progressive Relaxation and Breathing Exercises Accompanied by Music on the Stress Levels of Nursing Students and Their Bio-psycho-social Responses

Progressive relaxation exercise is a method that provides relaxation in the whole body by voluntary, regular relaxation of large muscle groups in the human body. Exercise helps individuals to be able to feel the difference between tension in the muscles and relaxation, and to learn to relax on their own in case of tension. Deep breathing exercise supports the maximum ventilation of the lung by correct breathing using the diaphragm.
