semenvatting
Een verblijf in een ziekenhuis gaat meestal gepaard met spanningen. Ontspanningsoefeningen zijn effectief gebleken bij het verminderen van lichamelijke klachten bij poliklinische en klinische patiënten met somatische aandoeningen. Bij opgenomen patiënten zijn de belangrijkste indicaties voor ontspanningsoefeningen: spanning in reactie op klachten, onderzoek of behandeling, in- en doorslaapproblemen en de aanwezigheid van lichamelijke klachten die in stand worden gehouden of verergeren door spanningen. Standaardoefeningen worden aangepast aan het doel van de oefening, de lichamelijke gesteldheid van de patiënt en zijn persoonlijke behoeften en ervaringen. Aan de hand van gevalsbeschrijvingen worden verschillende van dergelijke aanpassingen besproken.

Abstract
Having to stay at a hospital is an unpleasant and stressful experience for most patients. Relaxation techniques are effective in reducing physical symptoms of in- and out-patients with somatic disorders. Relaxation training is indicated in the case of stress as a result of physical symptoms, medical investigations or treatment, sleeping problems and physical symptoms which are sustained by stress. Standardized relaxation exercises are adjusted to the purpose of the intervention, and to the physical condition, personal needs and experiences of the patients. Case descriptions elucidate the adjustments made.
