Fatigue is a widespread clinical complaint among adults with type 2 diabetes. Fluctuating glucose levels can cause fatigue. Several factors are associated with fatigue in diabetic patients, including physiological factors such as hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, psychological factors such as depression associated with diabetes. Progressive muscle relaxation is a procedure to get relaxation in the muscles through two steps, namely by applying tension to a muscle group and stopping the tension then focusing on how the muscle relaxes, feeling the sensation of relaxation and fatigue is reduced. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue symptoms in type II DM clients in 15 control groups and 15 intervention groups. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach, consisting of one treatment (in the intervention group) and a control group. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis using t-independent and t-dependent tests. Wilcoxon test results in the intervention group and the control group showed a significant p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), meaning that there was a significant difference in fatigue symptoms in the intervention group before and after the intervention. This shows that there was a decrease in fatigue symptoms in the intervention group before and after combination OHO therapy and progressive muscle relaxation exercises (previously the average respondent in the intervention group experienced symptoms of severe fatigue, after intervention, the average value of fatigue symptoms turned into mild fatigue ). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation combined with OHO therapy can reduce symptoms of fatigue compared to only OHO therapy.

Background: Headache in the occipital region is the most common symptom of hypertension, caused by enhanchement intra-cranial pressure and vasoconstriction resulting in decreased perfusion of cerebral tissue. This causes insomnia, decreased concentration and decreased ability of daily living activity. Autogenic relaxation causes vasodilation and a calm emotional response that increases the response of the parasympathetic system. This modulation stimulus can decrease perception of headache. Objective: The aims of this study was to find out how the reduction of headache on hypertension before and after autogenic relaxation. Methods: The design of this research was pre experimental with one group pretest-postest design approach. The sample are 38 patients with hypertension who complained of headache in Mersi Purwokerto. Selection has been using purposive sampling. Measurement of head pain using visual analog scale. Data analysis using Wilcoxon test. Results: The mean headache before the autogenic relaxation technique was 5.24, and the mean headache after autogenic relaxation technique was 3.47, including the range of moderate pain. There was a significant difference between headache before and after the autogenic relaxation technique with p value: 0,000. Conclusion: Autogenic relaxation can be used by the elderly with hypertension to reduce headache. Keywords: Autogenic relaxation, headache, hypertension.

The effects of instructions (paradoxical versus standard), treatment technique (EMG biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation and self-relaxation) and subjects' sex were investigated in a 2 by 3 by 2 between-subjects design. Dependent measures were the changes in EMG and skin temperature over one 40-min. training session for 72 volunteers. For EMG change, the main effect of training was significant, with muscle relaxation producing less reduction than other techniques. This finding reflected an increase in EMG in the 5-min. posttreatment interval for the muscle relaxation group. For temperature change, the interaction of instructions and sex was significant, indicating that paradoxical instructions produced greater increases in temperature than standard instructions for men but not for women.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased these years. Datas from Muhammad Sani Hospital showed number of patients underwent hemodialysis (HD) were 34 in 2015, and has become 77 in April of 2019. One of the replacement therapy in CKD patient was hemodialysis. HD intended to take over renal function to prolong in improve patient’s quality of life.  Patients who undergo HD will experience anxiety caused by some stressors, such as pain at the location of needle insertion. One of the approach to overcome patients from the pain in HD is a non-farmacologic one, which is progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). This study intended to find the effect of PMR to the anxiety level of HD patients. It was a quantitative study, with a quasi experiment using pre and post test without control. Sampling method was purposive sampling and the size was 20 respondents. We used Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to detrrmine the level of anxiety, and the intervention was PMR. Paired T-Test was applied, with a normality test (Shapiro Wilk) previously done. We found that the effect of PMR was significant, with a p-value 0,000 (<0,005) and the mean of the anxiety level before and after intervention were respectively 22,65 and 16,30 From all 14 parameters in the questionnaire, from the highest score found in this study were respectively: Sleep Disorder, Depression, Stress, Sensoric related Symptom and Gastrointestinal related Symptoms. Based on this study,there was significant effect of PMR in decreasing the anxiety level, and so it is recommended to use PMR in overcoming anxiety problem in HD patients
