“…As the final stage of this case study process, an evaluation was carried out with the results of blood pressure which was initially 160/80mmHg to 140/90 mmHg, and the anxiety value (HARS examination) from 24 (moderate anxiety) to 16 (mild anxiety) which means there is a decrease the level of anxiety experienced by the client even a decrease in blood pressure on the client. And several studies also say that this Benson therapy not only reduces anxiety but can also reduce hypertension, pain after surgery, stress, and sleep disturbances (Baleegh et al, 2019;Emilia, Neng, et al, 2022;Juwariyah & Suciwati, 2019;Purwasih et al, 2017;Simandalahi et al, 2019). This case study has not been maximally carried out, one of the causes is the duration of administration, which is only 7 days, whereas according to several studies, the duration of administration of Benson relaxation therapy to reduce anxiety is carried out starting from 2 times a day morning and evening for 15-20 minutes for 4 weeks (1 month) (Gorji et al, 2014;Kiani et al, 2017;Mahdavi et al, 2013).…”

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the walls of the arteries. Once the person worries about the emergence of a new problem in hypertension will cause emotional mental disorders or feelings that we often encounter, one of which is anxiety. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods can overcome anxiety problems experienced by patients; one of them is the Benson therapy technique. Benson relaxation will make a person feel relaxed. Based on this, the study aimed to determine the effect of applying Benson relaxation therapy procedures in reducing anxiety in patients who have hypertension. This research used a descriptive case study design. The research subject was 1 person, and data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation studies which were carried out 2 times a day for 7 days. The result obtained before giving therapy was that the client experienced anxiety with a HARS value of 24 (moderate anxiety) and the blood pressure was 160/80 mmHg, after being given Benson relaxation technique therapy 2 times a day in 7 days was that the HARS value became 16 (mild anxiety) and the blood pressure becomes 140/90 mmHg which means there was a decrease in anxiety levels. It is hoped that further researchers can consider the length of administration and for health workers to use this Benson relaxation therapy as an alternative in providing nursing care to patients with anxiety.

“…S&P are clearly endemic among PUMH, and several Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of BRT in various settings have reported a significant decrease in stress levels ( Annal & Dhandapani, 2019 ; Borzoee et al, 2020 ; Jourabchi et al, 2020 ; Mohammadi & Parandin, 2019 ; Parmar & Tiwari, 2021 ) and pain ( Fitri et al, 2020 ; Mohammadi & Parandin, 2019 ; Molazem et al, 2021 ; Parmar & Tiwari, 2021 ; Titi et al, 2021 ). Moreover, an extensive array of bodily and psychological signs and symptoms such as S&P, anxiety, and depression may be affected by BRT ( Elsayed et al, 2019 ). An SR evaluating the efficacy of BRT in alleviating anxiety and depression among PUMH revealed that BRT significantly reduced anxiety but not depression, which is associated with stress ( Abu Maloh et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The consequent muscle relaxation results in a relaxed sensation ( Benson & Klipper, 1975 ). Once this state has been attained, the parasympathetic system takes over, which calms the participants and helps them to eliminate common symptoms like S&P, fatigue, anxiety, and depression ( Elsayed et al, 2019 ).…”

Introduction Stress and pain are high among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Benson's Relaxation technique affected a wide range of physical and psychological signs and symptoms among patients undergoing hemodialysis. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Benson's Relaxation Technique in reducing stress and pain among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Materials and Methods A systematic review of randomized controlled trials was conducted. A systematic literature search was carried out from 2000 to 2023. Searched databases included EBSCO-Host “Academic Search, Cochrane, CINAHL, Health Business, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, SPORTDiscus”, PubMed, Ovid, and Google Scholar. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines were conducted. RCTs were critically appraised using the Cochrane's Risk of Bias Tool. Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria and included in this review since they were applicable to practice. Results Four randomized controlled trials were identified supporting the use of Benson's relaxation technique as a nursing treatment in managing stress and pain among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, as it achieved a significant decrease in stress and pain scores. The overall quality of the randomized controlled trials was judged to be low to relatively moderate. Conclusions Most of the randomized controlled trials lacked details on intervention adherence. It is recommended to conduct additional longitudinal randomized controlled trials in different countries with bigger sample sizes, to provide more evidence for generalizing outcomes.

In the six journals reviewed, education on sleep hygiene, CBT-I, relaxation therapy, massage therapy, and drug administration (with caution) improving the quality of sleep for hemodialysis patients. Conclusions: Pharmacological and non-pharmacological management to overcome insomnia in hemodialysis patients can be given by considering the factors that influence it.
