COMBINATION OF AUTOGENIC RELAXATION AND NATURAL SOUNDS TO REDUCE POST OPERATION PAIN

Abstract

Surgery causes sores and pain in the patient's body. Pain after surgery usually lasts 24 to 48 hours, pain can last longer depending on the extent of the wound and the patient's pain response. Postoperative pain can prolong the wound healing process. The purpose of this study was to determine the combination of autogenic relaxation and natural sounds to reduce pain in postoperative patients.

The research method uses pre-experimental research design with one group pretest posttest design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling totaling 50 respondents. The statistical test used in this study was Wilcoxon Signed Rank.

The results of statistical tests showed that the -value was 0.000 (ρ-value 0.000 < 0.05) so it can be concluded that there is an effect of giving a combination of autogenic relaxation and natural sounds to reduce postoperative pain.

It is hoped that the combination of Autogenic Relaxation and Natural Sounds can be used as input in applying non-pharmacological techniques to help reduce pain.
