This study was designed as a prospective, parallel two groups and randomized controlled study with an experimental-control group to evaluate the effect of yoga-based breathing exercise on pain, fatigue, insomnia and self-efficacy in individuals undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. The sample size of the study was conducted with 60 patients, 30 in the control group and 30 in the experimental group, according to the results of a similar study with the G\*Power 3.1., 9.7 program, with α = 0.05, 80% power and 0.648 effect, and taking into account possible losses. was planned. Research inclusion criteria; Patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery for the first time were those who were 18 years of age or older, had a mobile phone suitable for downloading the yoga-based breathing exercise video, used the same type and dose of painkillers, and volunteered to participate in the study. "Personal Information Form", "VAS Pain Scale", "Brief Fatigue Inventory", "Richard Campbell Sleep Scale" and "Health Promotion Strategies Used by Patients Scale" will be used to collect data. Participants assigned to the experimental group will be provided with breathing exercises using a protocol containing Yoga-based breathing exercises. In order to conduct the research, approval will be obtained from KTO Karatay University Non-Drug and Medical Device Research Ethics Committee, ethics committee approval and permission will be obtained from the institution where the research will be conducted. Participation in the study is voluntary and written consent will be obtained from the participants. The data will be evaluated in the IBM SPSS Statistics Standard Concurrent User V 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, USA) statistical package program.
