Diabetes mellitus (DM) can cause physical and psychological changes for sufferers. Psychological changes include changes in self-concept and depression. Psychological changes can be treated with nonpharmacological therapies, one of which is five-finger relaxation technique. The research aimed to reveal the effect of five-finger relaxation technique on depression experienced by type 2 DM patients. The five-finger relaxation technique is one of the generalist relaxation techniques by recalling pleasant experiences. This research is a quasi-experiment. Samples of this research were 34 respondents whom were selected using purposive sampling.  The intervention was carried out once a day for 3 consecutive days.  In order to measure depression, a valid and reliable questionnaire of Indonesian version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was employed.  Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test and the Mann-Whitney Test. The results showed the was a decrease in depression in the control group (p-value of 0.008) and the intervention group (p-value of 0.000) and there were differences in depression in the control group and the intervention group (p-value of 0.000). It can be concluded that there is an effect of five-finger relaxation technique on depression in type 2 DM patients<em>.</em>

Sleeping disorder is a symptom often suffered by breast cancer patients. To overcome it, five-finger relaxation technique is considered helpful. In previous research, this technique can be utilized to lower the level of anxiety and fatigue. This research, therefore, aims at identifying the effect of five-finger relaxation technique to the sleep quality of breast cancer patients. The research method used that of quasi experiment with pre-test and post-test control group design. The population included breast cancer patients within the service of the healthcare in Sekarwangi Hospital and R. Syamsudin SH Hospital. Sampling was done consecutively. The number of samples from control and intervention group were 30 people each. The intervention group received a standard hospital therapy and fivefinger relaxation technique divided in 15 sessions with 10-15 minutes time every other day for 1 month. Meanwhile, the control group received only a standard hospital therapy. The measurement tool was PSQI. The analysis used paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The result of the research has shown a difference in scores during pre-test and post-test of the sleep quality on both groups due to p value < 0.05. A difference has striken on the scores of sleep quality between control and intervention group with the latter having higher scores than the former. It can be concluded that five-finger relaxation technique does affect the quality sleep of breast cancer patients. The result of this research can be an additional intervention to decrease the symptoms suffered by breast cancer patients.

One of the efforts to overcome hypertension experienced by its sufferers is to reduce stress and improve their sleep quality. Patients will usually overcome hypertension by taking drugs (which are chemical). Some use alternative methods. However, not many studies have been conducted to reveal efforts to reduce stress and improve sleep quality in hypertensive patients through this alternative method. It is the main reason research is carried out on non-pharmacological efforts to overcome stress and improve sleep quality that is effective, easy, and can be done alone by patients. This study aimed to determine the effect of five-finger relaxation techniques on stress and sleep quality in hypertensive patients in the working area of the Sukabumi Health Center. This study was a quasi-experiment with two groups of pre-tests and post-tests. The population and sample were hypertensive patients in the working area of the Sukabumi Health Center, with as many as 70 respondents divided into control and intervention groups of 35 respondents, each using purposive sampling techniques. The DASS-42 standard questionnaire was used for stress variables, while the PSQI standard questionnaire was used for sleep quality variables. Data analysis using a paired sample t-test showed differences in the pre-test and post-test stress scores in the control and intervention groups and in the control and intervention groups' sleep quality scores in the pre-test and post-test. The five-finger relaxation technique can lower hypertensive patients' stress and sleep quality scores. This technique is also an easy, inexpensive technique that is very likely to be done by hypertensive patients to maintain stable blood pressure and is an alternative non-pharmacological therapy for overcoming stress problems and sleep quality in hypertensive patients.
