The Differences in the Autogenic Relaxation Therapy’s Influences on Reducing Pain Levels in Postoperative Sectio Caesaria Patients

Abstract

Introduction: According to WHO, the average standard of sectio caesarea in a country is about 5-10% in every 1000 births in the world. One of the complications of sectio caesaria is a pain in the incision area. Nonpharmacologic pain management strategies for dealing with pain are autogenic relaxation therapy. Autogenic relaxation therapy is one of relaxation techniques where the source's is in the inside of our self in form of a short sentence that can make the mind peaceful. The objective of the research is to evaluate the differences effect of autogenic relaxation therapy to reduce pain level on postoperative sectio caesaria patients at Ciputat Buah Hati Hospital. Method: The research design used was quasy experimental research with the randomized pretestposttest with control group design involving 50 postoperative sectio caesarea patients consisted of 25 respondents as intervention group and 25 respondents as control group. Sampling technique used was non probability sampling namely purposive sampling techniques. Result: The average of pain levels at intervention group after they had been given autogenic relaxation therapy was 2,88 and at control group was 3,48. A result of Mann Whitney U test, showed p-value 0,024 < α 0,05. Conclusion: The differences pain levels in postoperative sectio caesaria patients after they had been given autogenic relaxation therapy between intervention group and control group showed that there was some different effects of giving autogenic relaxation therapy to reduce pain levels at postoperative sectio caesaria patients at Ciputat Buah Hati Hospital.

Relaxation Therapy on The Level of Anxiety of Post Sectio Caesarea: A Literature Review

“…11 Based on the research of Riris Andriati (2019), which uses autogenic relaxation as a relaxation technique that can be done independently in dealing with post sectio caesarean pain, it is evident that this relaxation therapy can have a significant effect (p = 0.024) in reducing the pain of cesarean section. 19 This research is also in line with the research of Jufri (2019) which suggests that autogenic relaxation is proven to reduce post-cesarean pain, where the pain can cause anxiety in the post-partum mother. This is evidenced by a significant difference in pain scales (p = 0.000; α <0.05) before and after the autogenic relaxation technique treatment.…”

Teknik Relaksasi Napas Dalam Kombinasi Guided Imagery Berbasis Teori Comfort terhadap Intensitas Nyeri Pasca Bedah Sectio Caesarea

“…Relaksasi dengan teknik guided imagery akan membuat tubuh lebih rileks dan nyaman, terutama dalam meningkatkan kualitas tidur, sehingga pasien tidak berfokus pada perasaan nyeri yang dirasakannya. Dengan melakukan nafas dalam secara perlahan, tubuh akan menjadi lebih rileks (Andriati et al, 2019). Perasaan rileks akan diteruskan ke hipotalamus untuk menghasilkan Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF).…”
