“…Research supports PMR's effectiveness in improving sleep quality (Harorani et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2020 ), likely due to its role in increasing melatonin and serotonin production (Stacchiotti et al, 2020 ). These hormones are critical for natural healing processes during deep sleep, which can reduce mental health issues related to poor sleep (Kanady et al, 2018 ; Lin et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundMedical education, already demanding, has been further strained by the COVID-19 pandemic's challenges and the shift to distance learning. This context underscores the need for effective stress reduction techniques in competency-based medical curricula (CBMC).ObjectiveWe assessed the feasibility and benefits of integrating a Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) module—a known effective stress-reducing technique—into a time-restricted CBMC, particularly given such modules often find placement as elective rather than mandatory.MethodsAdapting Gagne's nine events of instruction, a 2-h PMR program was designed and implemented during the pandemic. Twenty participants were engaged on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring adherence to social distancing measures. Feedback was continuously gathered, leading to two post-program focus group sessions. Qualitative data underwent thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's approach, with study quality maintained by the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR). To gauge adaptability, we aligned the program with various learning outcomes frameworks and explored its fit within CBMC using Bourdieu's Theory of Practice.ResultsThe pilot PMR program was well-received and effectively incorporated into our CBMC. Our analysis revealed five central themes tied to PMR's impact: Self-control, Self-realization, Liberation, Awareness, and Interpersonal relationships. Feedback indicated the program's capacity to mitigate stress during the pandemic. The SRQR confirmed the study's alignment with qualitative research standards. Further, the PMR program's contents resonated with principal domains of learning outcomes, and its integration into CBMC was supported by Bourdieu's Theory. These observations led us to propose the Integrative Psychological Resilience Model in Medical Practice (IPRMP), a model that captures the intricate interplay between the identified psychological constructs.ConclusionThis research showcases an innovative, theory-guided approach to embed a wellbeing program within CBMC, accentuating PMR's role in fostering resilience among medical students. Our PMR model offers a feasible, cost-effective strategy suitable for global adoption in medical institutions. By instilling resilience and advanced stress-management techniques, PMR ensures that upcoming healthcare professionals are better equipped to manage crises like pandemics efficiently.

“…Tensing and relaxing each muscle group is practiced twice before moving on to the next muscle group, thereby ensuring that the participant receives the full benefits of muscle relaxation (Lin et al, 2022). The analgesic effect of PMR is thought to occur when decreased afferent nerve impulses from skeletal muscle contribute to decreased sympathetic activity and decreased activity of the neuromuscular circuits associated with the experience of pain.…”

This study aimed to o analyze the effect of muscle relaxation for anxiety among menopause women. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The articles used in this study were obtained from three database, namely PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The articles included are full-text article with a study design of randomized controlled trial from 2013 to 2022. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. A total of 9 articles from Asia (India, Taiwan & Turkey), Africa (Ethiopia), Europe (Spanyol), and North America (Canada). The data collected showed that anxiety in menopausal women who do PMRT will decrease by 0.37 units compared to menopausal women who do not do PMRT, and the results were statistically significant (SMD= -0.37; 95% CI= -0.63 to -0.12; p= 0.004).

This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) toward sleep disorders and sleep hygiene among perimenopausal women, who were enrolled in Dezhou region of Shandong Province between July and September 2023. A total of 720 valid questionnaires were collected (mean age: 51.28 ± 4.32 years old), and 344 (47.78%) reported experiencing insomnia. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, practice, and Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep (DBAS) were 15.73 ± 7.60 (possible range: 0–36), 29.35 ± 3.15 (possible range: 10–50), 28.54 ± 4.03 (possible range: 10–50), and 6.79 ± 1.90 (possible range: 0–10), respectively. Path analysis showed that knowledge had direct effects on attitude (β = 0.04, 95% CI 0.01–0.07, P = 0.001), and DBAS (β = 0.04, 95% CI 0.02–0.05, P < 0.001). Knowledge had direct effects (β = 0.11, 95% CI 0.08–0.15, P < 0.001) and indirect (β = 0.02, 95% CI 0.00–0.03, P = 0.002) effect on practice. Moreover, attitude also had a direct impact on practice (β = 0.34, 95% CI 0.25–0.43, P < 0.001). In conclusion, perimenopausal women exhibited insufficient knowledge, negative attitude, inactive practice toward sleep disorders and sleep hygiene, and unfavorable DBAS, emphasizing the need for targeted healthcare interventions.
