Abstract：
PURPOSE:This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on the quality of life women during postpartum period. METHODS:A quasi-experimental design was used. The participants consisted of primiparous women who had experienced a vaginal birth in the obstetrics department of a hospital. Thirty women in the intervention group and 30 women in the control group were included. Data were collected by questionnaire and Maternal Postpartum Quality of Life Questionnaire (MAPP-QoL) between June 2016 and April 2017. Progressive muscle relaxation were applied to the intervention group. PMR were performed as contracting a muscle group, then relaxing it, moving (or progressing) from one muscle group to another. RESULTS:The mean pre-test and post-test scores of the MAPP-QoL in the intervention group were 24.43 ± 4.58 and 26.07 ± 4.58, respectively (t = -2.73, p < .05). The mean pre-test and post-test scores of the MAPP-QoL in the control group were 23.29 ± 4.37 and 21.99 ± 5.58, respectively (t = 2.23, p < .05). The difference between the mean scores of the women in the intervention and control groups before PMR was not statistically significant (t = 0.99, p > .05), whereas the difference between the groups after PMR was found to be statistically significant (t = 3.09, p < .05. CONCLUSIONS:Postpartum quality of life of women was increased after PMR. Progressive muscle relaxation should be taught to women who are admitted to obstetrics and outpatient clinics, that home visits be completed in order to expand the use of PMR.
