Brief Summary: Changes and limitations in the aging process affect adaptation to old age It is important for women to adapt to the problems of old age find a solution and cope This study was aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on the level of depression and adaptation to old women
Detailed Description: The aging process is considered as a result of the decline observed in basic cognitive functions such as attention perception memory and causes problems in the communication of the elderly with the environment For these problems it affects the adaptation of the elderly in his environment and himself

There are a limited number of studies in the literature to increase the adaptation of older individuals to old age In the studies in the literature it was stated that the rate of depression is higher in female individuals and being male and having a high education level positively affect the adaptation of individuals to old age In a national study it was determined that as age increases adaptation to old age decreases

Progressive muscle relaxation PMR one of the nonpharmacological methods involves the voluntary stretching and relaxation of large muscle groups hand-starting foot-end muscle groups in the human body It is known that PMR exercises are frequently used in nursing research because of the effects of reducing anxiety and fatigue and improving sleep quality and reducing nausea-vomiting However no study was found on the effect of depression and adaptation to old age Due to these positive effects of PMR determined in the literature it is thought that elderly women can positively affect their levels of depression and adaptation to old age

Objective Evaluate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on the depression and adaptation of elderly women to aging

Methodology This is randomized clinical test The sample was made up of 49 elderly women who applying to the family health center 21 in the experimental group and 28 in control group The progressive muscle relaxation was employed In order to collect the data we adopted the interview with form filling technique using the introductory information form Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly ASADE and Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form GDS-S Progressive muscle relaxation will be performed for a total of 8 weeks 3 days a week for 30 minutes
