Anxiety neurosis is the most common mental disorder in society. Progressive muscle relaxation is an independent nursing intervention that can be chosen to reduce anxiety in schizophrenia patients. This case study aims to prove that progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce anxiety levels in schizophrenic patients. The study design is descriptive in the form of a case study with a nursing process approach, applying progressive muscle relaxation techniques to schizophrenic patients who experience problems with anxiety levels. The sample was two adult schizophrenic patients who experienced anxiety in Eredah Complex Mental Health Hospital. The patient's anxiety was measured by the Zung-Self Anxiety Rating Scale. The progressive muscle relaxation procedure is performed 2 times over two days with a duration of 20-30 minutes each session. Hemodynamic measurements and anxiety levels were performed pre-post progressive muscle relaxation. The results of the case study showed that progressive muscle relaxation interventions affected reducing patient anxiety levels. The mean score of the patient's anxiety decreased by 30.34% after being given progressive muscle relaxation. Progressive muscle relaxation is effectively applied to schizophrenic patients with anxiety disorders in nursing service settings.

A literature review of studies of progressive muscle relaxation therapy in reducing blood sugar publishedin 2011-2020 was conducted. The average number of respondents was 26 male and female responden with and average age of 55-60. The results showed that progressive muscle relaxation therapy was able to control blood glucose among diabetic. This study concludes that progressive muscle relaxation therapy effectively reduce blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes melitus. The findings suggest that progressive muscle relaxation therapy can be used as non-pharmacological therapy to lower blood sugar levels.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Progressive muscle relaxation AbstrakDiabetes melitus merupakan suatu penyakit degeneratif yang bermasalah pada sistem metabolik ditandai dengan meningkatnya kadar gula darah dalam tubuh dan disebabkan karena kelainan sekresi insulin.

Chapter 6 explores the activity component of the BEAST model, and highlights several techniques for activities that can be used to lessen depression. This includes activity scheduling, with a particular focus on pleasant activities, identifying patterns associated with low moods, making the effort to change, and other action strategies (recovering lost activities, risk taking, graded tasks, social skills training) as well as relaxation techniques (progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), meditation, and patterned breathing).

ABTSRACT Introduction: Physical exercise as anticipate of hypertension along with nutrition and medicines. One of physical exercise that can be applicated here is relaxation techniques which is showed positive impact in decreased blood pressure. Objective: Determine the difference between PMR intervention with SSBM intervention to reduce blood pressure for grade I hypertension patients whose consumed anti-hypertension medicine in badung regency. Methods: Experimental method Pre and post-test control group design and used 24 subjects, divided in to 2 groups, in which the experimental group I (n=12) received progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) while the treatment group 2 (n=12) received slow stroke back massage (SSBM). Intervention is given 3 times a week for 4 weeks. This study was using simple random sampling. Blood pressure was measured by sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Result: Independent Sample T-test showed there was significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 which (p<0.05) for systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

AbstractPurpose. Relaxing in the athlete’s training process is underutilized. Relaxation techniques, however, should be taught from the very beginning of the footballer’s training career. The main aim of this study was to present the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on pressure pain threshold levels and the effectiveness of the footballer’s training. Methods. A sample of 32 football players participated in the therapeutic program consisting of 8 PMR sessions. Before and after applying a pressure therapy, the pain threshold in the lumbar region was measured by a dolorimeter and the Cooper test was carried out to determine the footballers’ level of endurance. Results. PMR training did not increase significantly the pain threshold level in the experimental group (p > 0.05), but it increased significantly the distance covered in the Cooper test (p = 0.04). Analysis of the Spearman rank correlation was also carried out (p = 0.81). Conclusions. PMR does not lower pain perception threshold. PMR therapy increases the distance measured by the Cooper test. In order to determine the role of PMR in injury prevention, further research is necessary.
