    (Wiley, 2023) Kilic, Nermin; Parlar Kilic, Serap
    Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on sleep quality and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods This randomized controlled study was conducted with 72 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who applied to the rheumatology outpatient clinic of a university hospital between January and May 2018. The data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Fatigue Severity Scale. After the patients in the intervention group completed the forms, patients were given training with regard to the application of progressive muscle relaxation which they subsequently performed, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Fatigue Severity Scale forms were repeated after 6 weeks. Results After performing progressive muscle relaxation for 6 weeks, the total score of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the fatigue score decreased among patients in the intervention group; no change was observed among the patients in the control group. A statistical difference was found between the two groups in terms of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index's and Fatigue Severity Scale's mean scores. Conclusion Progressive muscle relaxation can be recommended to enhanced sleep quality and reduce fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020) Kilic, Serap Parlar; Kilic, Nermin; Sevinc, Sibel; Demirel, Cihat
    The aim of this study was to examine the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) experiences of patients with constipation irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). This qualitative study consisted of a total of 30 patients, who were admitted to a university hospital in Turkey. Data were collected using a descriptive questionnaire and a semistructured interview. Data analysis identified 5 main themes: (1) constipation-related difficulties experienced due to IBS, (2) the feeling that the CAM use is natural and useful, (3) the effect of the environmental stimuli in preferring the use of CAM, (4) the feeling that CAM is not negative and relieves, and (5) suggesting the CAM use. In conclusion, it was determined that all the patients with constipation IBS used various CAM methods. It may be recommended to raise the awareness of the patients by health care professionals about the CAM methods that may be useful.

    A Qualitative Study of the Experiences of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use in Patients With IBS-C
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020) Parlar Kilic, Serap; Kilic, Nermin; Sevinc, Sibel; Demirel, Cihat
    The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among patients with constipation irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). This qualitative study consisted of a total of 30 patients who were admitted to a university hospital in Turkey. Data were collected using a descriptive questionnaire and a semistructured interview. Data analysis identified 5 main themes: (1) the constipation-associated difficulties experienced because of IBS; (2) the feeling that CAM is natural and useful; (3) the effect of environmental stimuli in preferring the use of CAM; (4) the feeling that CAM is not negative and relieves symptoms; and (5) suggesting the use of CAM. In conclusion, it was determined that all the patients with IBS-C used various CAM methods. It may be recommended that health care professionals should raise awareness among patients about CAM methods that may be useful.
