Physiological changes in the elderly can cause a change in the neural system that is a disorder towards sleep quality while changes in the musculoskeletal system are the occurrence of muscle strength decline. Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy is a therapy which can improve sleep quality and muscle strength. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy towards muscle strength and sleep quality of the elderly at House Technical Implementation. The research type used is quasi-experiment design with pretest and posttest nonequivalent control group design. The population in this research were all elderly as many as 40 elderly people. The sampling technique used was Total Sampling which was then divided into intervention group which consists of 20 respondents and control group which consists of 20 respondents. The measurement tool used was PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) questionnaire for sleep quality and the MMT (Manual Muscle Testing) observation sheet for muscle strength. The data were analyzed using Paired T-test and Independent T-test. Based on Paired T-test, it was obtained that p value = 0.000 (p

Balance exercise is one of the exercises that can be applied to the elderly. This exercise is a physical activity that is done to improve the stability of the body by increasing muscle strength in the legs. Muscle strength is a driving force for movement in completing tasks and can reduce falls especially for the elderly. A fall event is an event reported by a patient or witness, who sees an incident resulting in a person suddenly lying / sitting on the lower floor / place with or without loss of consciousness or injury. This type of research is quantitative, with a Quasi Experimental research design with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design approach. The sampling technique used is non probability sampling: purposive sampling with a sample of 34 respondents. data analysis techniques using paired t test. Based on the results of multivariate analysis paired t test on the fall event variable for the treatment group, the results obtained p value 0.006 <0.05. it means that there is a significant effect after being given the treatment of physical exercise balance and muscle strength on the incidence of falls in the elderly. Whereas in the control group, the result was p value 0.018 <0.05. it means that there is a significant effect after being given another treatment, namely gymnastics in the elderly towards the event of falling in the elderly. Balance and muscle strength training is very effective in reducing the number of falls in the elderly. Whereas the control group given elderly exercise also had the effectiveness to reduce the incidence of falls in the elderly. In an effort to reduce the incidence of falls, the elderly can do physical exercise balance and muscle strength regularly

Introduction: Stress among teachers has a significant relationship with the psychosomatic and depressive symptoms. Community nurses need to make efforts in preventing the adverse effects of stress on teachers. Progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy is an alternative intervention which can be practiced to reduce the level of stress among teachers. This study aimed to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation which was combined with music and aromatherapy on decreasing the level of stress in teachers.Methods:This study employed a pre-post test quasi-experimental design with a control group. The samples were 46 teachers recruited by purposive sampling and were assigned to the intervention group (n=23) and the control group (n=23). The intervention of progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy was given to the intervention group for four sessions in four days; each session lasted for 20 minutes. The data were analyzed using the t-test to know the effects of the intervention on decreasing the stress level.Results:The results showed that the average level of stress of the teachers in the intervention group decreased from 50.65 ± 3.761 to 32.78 ± 8.426 after the intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, the average stress level slightly decreased from 49.87 ± 3.348 to 49.17 ± 4.868. The result of the t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (<0.,05), indicating that there were significant differences in the stress levels between the intervention and the control group.Conclusion:Progressive muscle relaxation with music and aromatherapy could reduce the level of stress in school teachers. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the school teachers perform this relaxation therapy to decrease the stress level.

Patient with breast cancer is experienced a psychological pressure with cancer diagnosis. This condition leads to anxiety and hopeless feeling toward life. One of the therapies which found effective to minimize anxiety is progressive muscle relaxation. The objective of the reasearch was to find the influence of progressive muscle relaxation therapy as the nursing intervention in reducing the anxiety level of the patient with breast cancer. The research applied quasi experiment method with pre-test and post-test control group design. The samples involved are 26 patients with breast cancer, which consist of 13 patients with intervention and 13 patient without intervention. The research instrument used to assess the anxiety level was HRS-A (Hamilton Rating Scale-Anxiety) questionnaire. The research conducted at RSUP Haji Adam Malik Medan from May to June,2016. Progressive muscle relaxation theraphy was carried out in 3 days with the frequency of 6 times exercise. The result of the research showed that t-value was -4.275 and p-value=0.000 or p-value < 0.05 (0,000) which indicated that there was the influence of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on the decrease in the level of anxiety of breast cancer patients. Therefore, nurse can use progressive muscle relaxation as non-pharmacological in coping with breast cancer patients. Patient with breast cancer mostly experienced  psychological pressure .
