Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether demonstration-based progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) can help reduce stress and anxiety in nurses caring for COVID-19 patients.
  • The results showed that nurses who learned and practiced PMR experienced a significant decrease in stress and anxiety levels after the intervention, while those in the control group did not see such improvements.
  • Overall, the study suggests that demonstration-based PMR is an effective and quick method to help nurses manage stress and anxiety during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
