“…It has been demonstrated in various studies that relaxation techniques, such as the progressive muscular relaxation of Jacobson, the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction techniques, and the relaxation techniques described by Benson, reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and improve quality of life in both patients and health care workers ( Zinn, 1990 ; Botha et al, 2015 ; Carver and O’Malley, 2015 ; Greenlee et al, 2017 ; Tsitsi et al, 2017 ; Harorani et al, 2019 ; Ibrahim et al, 2019 ).…”

ObjectiveA rapid review was conducted to identify the most effective stress reduction techniques for health care providers dealing with patients infected with severe coronavirus (SARS, MERS, and COVID-19).MethodsPubMed, PsychInfo, Embase, and CINAHL databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Searches were restricted by date (2000 until present). All empirical quantitative and qualitative studies in which relaxation techniques of various types implemented on health care providers caring for patients during severe coronavirus pandemics and articles that consider the implementation of mental health care services considered to be pertinent, such as commentaries, were included.ResultsFourteen studies met the selection criteria, most of which were recommendations. Only one study described a digital intervention, and user satisfaction was measured. In the recommendations, both organizational and individual self-care interventions were suggested.ConclusionsFurther research is necessary to establish tailor-made effective stress reduction interventions for this population, during these challenging and particular times.

“…The measurements of anxiety and pain were supposed to only fulfill a control role in the study. Most studies regarding the effect of relaxation on pain and anxiety are carried out in research schemes, which compare the control group without relaxation and the experimental group with relaxation 12 , 46 , 47 . In our study, no typical passive control group without any intervention was created.…”

We aimed to investigate whether psychological intervention (single mental simulation) among women after cesarean surgery (CC) can affect their willingness to verticalize, actual verticalization, and the duration of the first mobilization. In this prospective randomised, controlled study, 150 women after CC were divided into 3 groups: experimental group with process-simulation with elements of relaxation, experimental group with outcome-simulation with elements of relaxation and control group with elements of relaxation only. After a 5-h stay in the post-operative room, women listened to a recording with a stimulation. Pain and anxiety of verticalization were measured before and after listening to the recording and after verticalization. Almost 12% more patients verticalized in the process-simulation group than in the control group. Percentages of mobilized patients were: 39.4% the process-simulation group; 32.8% in the outcome-simulation group; 27.7% controls (p = 0.073). Mobilization was 5 min longer in the process-simulation group then in control (p < 0.01). Anxiety after the simulation was a significant covariate of the willingness to verticalize, actual verticalization and time spent in mobilization. We conclude that a single mental simulation can effectively motivate patients for their first verticalization after CC. Perceived anxiety before verticalization may affect the effectiveness of interventions, so we recommend to check it at the postoperative care.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04829266.

“…Although there are various variations of spiritual words spoken, all of them have been proven to have an influence on reducing postoperative pain in patients. According to Ibrahim et al (2019) these five steps are the standard benson relaxation techniques that are most often used. Every step taken in the benson relaxation procedure can be adjusted to the conditions of this relaxation target, such as giving a position in the early stages of benson relaxation.…”

In the United States >80% of postoperative patients experience pain but only 30-50% receive effective treatment. Effective postoperative pain management requires other therapy than pharmacology with minimal side effects such as Benson relaxation. Benson relaxation is a deep breathing relaxation method involving belief factors that are effective in reducing postoperative pain To determine the effect of Benson's relaxation on pain in post-major surgery patients. This literature review uses the thematic analysis method: a simplified approach with publications for 2012-2022 using databases: Google Scholar, MEDLINE, JSTOR. The selection of articles used a modified PRISMA flow diagram. Analysis of article eligibility uses JBI Critical appraisal Checklist tools for RCT and Quasi-Experiment. The findings of 11 articles showed that Benson relaxation combined with pharmacological therapy was proven to be effective in reducing post-major surgery pain in terms of the time of administration, procedure, and mechanism. Benson relaxation also has other benefits such as controlling physical and psychological stress. Benson relaxation has been shown to have an effect on reducing pain in post-major surgery patients. Thus, Benson relaxation can be used as an option for independent non- pharmacological interventions in the management of post-major surgery pain. Keywords : Benson relaxation, Post major surgery, Pain ABSTRAK Nyeri pasca bedah dirasakan oleh >80% pasien di Amerika, akan tetapi perawatan nyeri yang efektif hanya terjadi sekitar 30-50%. Manajemen nyeri pasca bedah yang efektif membutuhkan terapi selain farmakologi dengan efek samping minimal seperti relaksasi benson. Relaksasi benson adalah metode relaksasi nafas dalam dengan melibatkan faktor keyakinan yang efektif mengurangi nyeri pada pasien pasca bedah Untuk mengetahui pengaruh relaksasi benson terhadap nyeri pada pasien pasca bedah mayor. Kajian literatur ini menggunakan thematic analysis method: a simplified approach dengan publikasi tahun 2012-2022 menggunakan databases: Google Scholar, MEDLINE, JSTOR. Analisis artikel menggunakan modifikasi flow diagram PRISMA. Kelayakan artikel diuji dengan JBI Critical appraisal Checklist tools for RCT and Quasi-Experiment. Temuan kajian literatur dari 11 artikel menunjukkan relaksasi benson yang dikombinasikan dengan terapi farmakologi terbukti efektif dalam menurunkan nyeri pada pasien pasca bedah mayor ditinjau dari waktu pemberian, prosedur dan mekanisme. Relaksasi benson juga memiliki manfaat lain seperti mengontrol stres fisik dan juga psikologi. Relaksasi benson telah terbukti memberi pengaruh terhadap penurunan nyeri pasien pasca bedah mayor. Sehingga, relaksasi benson dapat dijadikan salah satu pilihan intervensi mandiri non-farmakologi dalam penanganan nyeri pasca bedah mayor Kata kunci: Relaksasi Benson, Pasca Bedah Mayor, Nyeri
