Effect of progressive muscle relaxation on post-operative analgesia

Abstract

Background: Postoperative pain begins with surgical trauma, the intensity reduces gradually and ends with tissue recovery. Effective pain management is essential to minimize unnecessary distress and potential complications. Aim: The study aimed to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation technique on post-operative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Materials and Methods: Evaluative research approach, quasi experimental time series design and simple random sampling technique were used to select 20 samples in experimental and control group respectively. Results: Progressive muscle relaxation was the only influencing factor on reducing pain on 1 st and 2 nd postoperative day and no significant association was found between the research variables and level of pain. Mean arterial pressure was positively correlated with level of pain (<0.05). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation technique was effective in reducing post-operative pain and the results of this study can be incorporated in surgical units for proper management of post-operative analgesia.

Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on The Level of Anxiety of Haemodialysis Patients at Muhammad Sani Hospital in Karimun

“…The results of this research in line with the research conducted by Devi (2014) in North Sumatera, obtained the results that the PMR has a significant relationship with decreased anxiety in GGK patients undergoing hemodialysis (Devi & Saharia, 2017). Supported again by research conducted by Astuti (2017) that the PMR is effective in reducing stress to GGK patients undergoing hemodialysis.…”

Latihan Relaksasi Otot Progresif Dalam Mengatasi Respon Fisik dan Psikologis Pasien Bedah: Literature Review

“…Hemodinamik salah satu parameter respon fisik dan psikologis akibat pengaruh sistem saraf simpatis (15,16,20). Penelitian pada pasien bedah abdomen didapatkan PMR menurunkan nyeri pasca operasi dan terlihat dari hemodinamik pasien pada kelompok intervensi yang lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (15) . Dalam penelitian ini didapatkan nyeri pasca operasi abdomen tidak mempunyai korelasi dengan Heart Rate (HR) dan Respiratory Rate (RR) tetapi berhubungan dengan peningkatan mean arterial pressure (MAP) p<0,05.…”

“…Latihan PMR yang diterapkan dengan panduan mp3 pada grup intervensi dapat mengontrol nyeri pasien pasca operasi (15) . Hari pertama pasca operasi grup intervensi mengalami nyeri sedang sebesar 80% dan grup kontrol 90%.…”

“…Sedangkan pada hari kedua grup intervensi mengalami 75% nyeri ringan dan grup kontrol 50% nyeri sedang dan 50% nyeri ringan. Pengukuran numeric rating scale pada grup intervensi hari kelima yaitu 100% pasien sudah merasakan nyeri ringan sedangkan pada grup kontrol baru 20% nyeri ringan dan sisanya masih merasakan nyeri sedang (15) .…”

“…PMR dapat dilakukan pada berbagai pasien bedah seperti pasca operasi jantung, kanker payudara, kanker kolorektal, operasi abdomen, operasi fraktur ekstremitas, bedah thoraks dengan reseksi paru dan lainnya. PMR juga dapat diterapkan pada ruang rawat intensif (16,17) , ruang rawat biasa (11,12,13,15,17,19,20) sampai dilakukan mandiri oleh pasien di rumah (14,18,19) . PMR dapat dilakukan mandiri atau digabungkan dengan teknik relaksasi lainnya seperti terapi musik (12,14,19) , guided imagery (14) , konseling psikologi (20) .…”
