This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest design to determine the effect of parental supervision and video-guided progressive relaxation exercise (PRE) and music recital on sleep, quality of life and emotional states in children with epilepsy aged 9-16 years. The main questions it aims to answer are as follows:
According to the evaluation of children with epilepsy, does the progressive relaxation exercise applied to children have an effect on sleep, quality of life and emotional states? According to the evaluation of children with epilepsy, does music recital applied to children have an effect on sleep quality of life and emotional states? The study consisted of 45 children (15 children in the progressive relaxation exercise group, 15 children in the music recital group and 15 children in the control group). Ethics committee approval, permission from the institutions and informed consent of the children were obtained for the conduct of the study. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant in data analysis.
This randomized controlled experimental study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of progressive relaxation exercise and music recital before going to sleep on sleep, quality of life and emotional state in children with epilepsy. The study will be conducted with children aged 9-16 years and their mothers hospitalized in a tertiary care hospital. Children in the progressive relaxation exercise (n=15), music recital (n=15) and control (n=15) groups will be selected similarly in terms of age, gender, educational status, duration of diagnosis and number. The data of the study will be collected with the Quality of Life Scale in Children Parent Form (QoLQS-PPP), Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (PSCL-17), Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) to be administered to mothers and the Quality of Life Scale in Children Child and Adolescent Form (QoLQ-C), Me and My Emotions in Children and Adolescents Scale (MEAS), and Sleep Deprivation Scale for Children and Adolescents (PSSAD) to be administered to children. Children in the PRE group will be asked to do PRE before going to sleep five days a week (4 weeks) with a PRE video for a total of 15 minutes each session. Children in the music group will be asked to listen to the selected music before going to sleep five days a week (4 weeks) for a total of 15 minutes each session. These scales will be applied to the children before the interventions (Time 1). After the interventions were performed five days a week (4 weeks) for a total of 15 minutes each session before going to sleep, the same scales will be applied again (Time 2) and the results of the study will be compared. Children in the control group will receive standard treatment. In the evaluation of the data showing normal distribution; Student t (between 2 groups) and One Way ANOVA (more than 2 groups) tests will be used to test whether there is a difference between two independent groups; Paired-samples t test will be used to test whether there is a difference between the measurements before and after the intervention. In the evaluation of non-normally distributed data; Mann-Whitney U (between 2 groups) and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of Variance (more than 2 groups) tests will be used to test whether there is a difference between two independent groups; Wilcoxon Paired-Samples Test will be used to test whether there is a difference between pre and post intervention measurements. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant in data analysis.
