Detailed Description:
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on sexual satisfaction and functioning of women and their partners in women with low sexual satisfaction
Hypotheses H1 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques increase sexual satisfaction in women with low sexual satisfaction
H2 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques positively affect sexual function in women with low sexual satisfaction
H3 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques increase sexual satisfaction of partners in women with low sexual satisfaction
H4 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques positively affect sexual function of partners in women with low sexual satisfaction
While the population of the study consisted of women aged 18-35 years the minimum sample size was calculated using G Power Accordingly it was found that the number of women to be sampled should be 44 for each group totaling 88 women Considering that there would be losses the sample was planned to be 60 couples for each group totaling 120 couples There were no losses during the study
Sample Selection Criteria Women who had an active sexual life were of childbearing age 18-35 years had the same partner for the last year had not given birth before and scored between 20-40 on the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale were included

Progressive muscle relaxation techniques were explained to the women from the couples assigned to the Intervention Group by a researcher In addition to relaxation exercises deep breathing movements were also explained to the women and progressive muscle relaxation exercises and breathing exercises were performed together The importance of the exercises and how to do them were explained to the women by the researcher for about 30 minutes and then demonstrated practically for 30 minutes Each progressive muscle relaxation exercise session lasted approximately 20-25 minutes The women in the intervention group continued the exercises at home three times a week for four weeks The women in the intervention group were telephoned once a week by the researcher to provide reminders and counseling about the study Progressive muscle relaxation steps were given as an additional file
The Control Group was followed up by continuing the daily routine At the end of two and four weeks the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Arizona Sexual Life Scale were administered to all women and their partners
Hypotheses H1 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques increase sexual satisfaction in women with low sexual satisfaction
H2 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques positively affect sexual function in women with low sexual satisfaction
H3 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques increase sexual satisfaction of partners in women with low sexual satisfaction
H4 Progressive muscle relaxation techniques positively affect sexual function of partners in women with low sexual satisfaction
