Implementasi Teknik Relaksasi Benson dalam Menurunkan Nyeri pada Ibu Post Sectio Caesarea: Studi Kasus di RSAU dr. Esnawan Antariksa

Abstract

Angka persalinan dengan metode Sectio Caesarea (SC) terus meningkat dan sering disertai nyeri pascaoperasi yang dapat mengganggu kondisi fisik dan psikologis ibu, sehingga diperlukan intervensi nonfarmakologis yang aman dan mudah diterapkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi implementasi teknik relaksasi Benson dalam menurunkan intensitas nyeri pada ibu post SC. Desain penelitian menggunakan studi kasus deskriptif dengan pendekatan observasi pre–post pada dua ibu post SC di Ruang Nuri RSAU dr. Esnawan Antariksa. Subjek dipilih secara purposive sesuai kriteria inklusi. Intervensi berupa teknik relaksasi Benson diberikan selama tiga hari berturut-turut dengan frekuensi dua kali sehari selama 10–15 menit per sesi. Intensitas nyeri diukur menggunakan Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil menunjukkan penurunan intensitas nyeri pada kedua subjek, yaitu dari skala 6 menjadi 3 pada Subjek I dan dari 7 menjadi 3 pada Subjek II. Teknik relaksasi Benson berpotensi membantu menurunkan nyeri pada ibu post SC, namun hasil ini perlu ditafsirkan secara hati-hati karena jumlah subjek terbatas.

The rate of Caesarean section (CS) deliveries continues to increase and is often associated with postoperative pain that may affect the physical and psychological condition of mothers, highlighting the need for safe and applicable non-pharmacological interventions. This study aimed to identify the implementation of the Benson relaxation technique in reducing pain intensity among post-CS mothers. A descriptive case study with a pre–post observational approach was conducted on two post-CS mothers in the Nuri Room of RSAU dr. Esnawan Antariksa. Subjects were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The intervention consisted of the Benson relaxation technique administered twice daily for three consecutive days (10–15 minutes per session). Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention and analyzed descriptively. The results showed a reduction in pain intensity in both subjects, from a score of 6 to 3 in Subject I and from 7 to 3 in Subject II. The Benson relaxation technique has the potential to reduce post-CS pain; however, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of subjects.
