Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of a group of nursing professionals who suffer from pain and stress and whether any relationship exists between time of evalution and severity of the problem. By simple random sampling method a sample of 30 nursing professionals was selected from a corporate hospital. Stress Level Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Pain Scale were used to measure the pain. Before data collection the purpose and benefits of Breathing exercise and Bernstein & Borkovec’s PRT were explained to the experimental group. After measuring the pre-training scores for pain and stress, the sample was trained to practice Breathing exercise and Bernstein and Borkovec’s relaxation to induce relaxation. This training was done (15-20 minutes) twice daily for 12 days. The results revealed that the breathing exercise and Bernstein and Borkovec’s progressive relaxation training, pain and stress of young nursing professionals are significantly reduced.
