Stress management practices include yoga, relaxation, and progressive muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, meditation and mental imagery. Relaxation techniques is more effective or help full to cope with everyday stress and with stress related to various health problems. OBJECTIVES To assess pre-existing level of perceived quality of sleep among nursing students studying in colleges of selected areas. To assess pre-existing level of self-efficacy among nursing students studying in colleges of selected areas.1 To find out effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on level of perceived quality of sleep among nursing students studying in colleges of selected areas. To find out effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on level of self- efficacy among nursing students studying in colleges of selected areas. To find out association between the study findings with selected demographic variables. A quantitative approach was used for this study. The study is carried out in selected areas. The research design is quasi experimental is Probability Cluster sampling technique was used. The 60 college going nursing students was taken from nursing colleges in selected areas. In the assessment of Effectiveness of progressive Muscle Relaxation on 60 samples divided in two group that is 30 experimental group and 30 control group. Evaluation of level of perceived sleep quality and self-efficacy was done before and after the intervention among experimental groups and control group. The level of sleep quality and self-efficacy among college going nursing was improved in experimental group, (P-Value < 0.05).

Effectiveness In this study the effectiveness refers to (progressive muscle relaxation) which is capable of producing a desired result or a desired output among nursing students’ Dependent variables- Level of perceived quality of sleep among nursing students and Level of self-efficacy among nursing students. Perceived In this study perceived refers to being aware or notice something which is real that is a particular way of the sleep quality among nursing students Level of Sleep Quality In this study level of sleep quality refers to know the amount of sleep-in hours and quality refers in terms how good or bad (poor) quality of sleep is present among nursing students. Progressive muscle relaxation- In this study progressive muscle relaxation refers to applying all those methods or techniques of relaxing and tensing of various muscle groups which will help to increase the level of sleep quality and self-efficacy among nursing students. Self-Efficacy In this study self-efficacy refers to know the ability to perform or succeed particular task among college students
