Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises on Premenstrual Syndrome

PMI is among the non-pharmacological methods nurses can offer caregivers (Yılmaz et al., 2019). Health professionals, especially nurses, should evaluate all women of reproductive age in terms of PMS, plan educational interventions that will increase their awareness of the issue and enable them to develop appropriate coping strategies, support the planned educational interventions through written or visual materials, provide effective and quality counseling services, and aim to improve women's decreased quality of life (Abay \& Kaplan 2019; Aksoy Derya et al. 2019; Akmalı et al. 2020). Women can be advised to do relaxation exercises such as walking, running, swimming, and yoga regularly (at least 30 minutes a day) as they reduce stress by increasing endorphin levels and improve heart rate, lung capacity, and general health (Penedo \& Dahn, 2005; ACOG, 2015; Khajehei 2015).
