Best Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) on Children: A Systematic Review

Physical sensations of tingling, warmth, dull pain, and heaviness are a common phenomenon in mind-body interventions, such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, osteopathy, qigong, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation. Even though there are striking parallels between sensations produced by many different interventions, no attempt has yet been made to understand them from a unifying perspective that combines information from different therapies and practices. Therefore, this narrative systematic review introduces the concept of therapeutic sensations and summarizes studies of their sensory quality, bodily topography, and the meaning that patients attach to them. Furthermore, it highlights the essential role of therapeutic sensations in the development of vital energy concepts, such as qi, prana, pneuma, and orgone, in various traditional medicine systems, body-oriented psychotherapy, and so-called energy medicine. Finally, the assessment of therapeutic sensations may help to gain a deeper understanding of such concepts, finding a common language between scientists, patients and practitioners, and bridging the wide gap between materialistic and vitalistic views.

Postpartum mothers are vulnerable to several problems during the puerperium, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, sexual problems, physical functioning and dissatisfaction with partner support that can affect their quality of life. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the effect of exercise on postpartum women’s quality of life. Comprehensive searches including experimental studies (including RCTs and non-randomized trials) from several databases, namely Scopus, PubMed, and Science-Direct, were used to search for scientific contributions published between 2009 and 2019. The articles are identified using the relevant keywords. This systematic review is guided by PRISMA. Fourteen of the 636 articles met both the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The postpartum exercises found in this study were Yoga, Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT), Pilates, Postnatal Exercise, Aerobic Exercise and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). This review cannot provide definitive conclusions about the best form of exercise, the suggested duration or the timing needed to improve the quality of life for postpartum women. However, Yoga and Pilates are proven to effectively improve maternal well-being because this exercise focuses on increasing the physical, psychological and social support during the postpartum period. Further research is needed to provide evidence and to strengthen the results of this systematic review.

Latar Belakang: Perubahan pola aktivitas dan perubahan lingkungan belajar menjadi pemicu stress pada mahasiswa yang melibatkan reaksi psiko-fisiologis. Salah satu intervensi keperawatan yang sering digunakan di klinik untuk mereduksi dampak stress adalah Progresive Muscle Relaxation/PMR, sehingga perlu dilakukan sistematic review untuk mengetahui apakah latihan PMR lebih efektif daripada terapi relaksasi lainnya dalam mereduksi dampak stress psiko-fisiologis. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui keefektifan latihan PMR daripada terapi relaksasi lainnya dalam mereduksi dampak stress psiko-fisiologis. Metode: Systematic review dilaksanakan dengan menelusuri artikel pada database psychology and behavior sciences collection, googlescholar, gen.lib.rus.ec serta sciencedirect.com dengan kata kunci yang dipilih. Penelusuran dibatasi terbitan 2004-2017 yang dapat diakses fulltext dalam format pdf dengan desain RCT dan Case Control yang dilakukan pada mahasiswa. Perlakuan berupa PMR dibandingkan dengan terapi relaksasi lainnya dalam menurunkan tingkat stress, tingkat kecemasan dan kadar cortisol. Artikel yang sesuai kemudian dianalisis menggunakan critical appraisal tool yang sesuai untuk hasil penelitian RCT maupun Case Control untuk menilai kualitas penelitian. Data-data diekstraksi dari artikel lalu dikelompokkan untuk dibahas dan disimpulkan. Hasil: Tiga dari 5 buah artikel memiliki kualitas tinggi dan yang lainnya sedang. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa latihan PMR lebih efektif menurunkan tingkat stress, tingkat kecemasan dan kadar cortisol pada mahasiswa daripada terapi relaksasi lainnya: pernapasan diafragma, latihan autogenik, small talk grup dan yoga stretching (hatha). Latihan PMR yang paling efektif dilaksanakan selama 30 menit dalam 1 hari dan apabila diterapkan 1 hari dalam seminggu selama 4 minggu akan meningkatkan tingkat relaksasi dan meningkatkan pelepasan energi. Pengulangan sampai 5 minggu dapat meningkatkan indeks kebahagiaan dan ketenangan mental.Kesimpulan: latihan PMR lebih efektif daripada terapi relaksasi lainnya dalam mereduksi dampak stress psiko-fisiologis.. Keywords : progressive muscle relaxation, stress, kecemasan, cortisol, mahasiswa

Background: Various complications caused by causing diabetes mellitus patients to undergo treatment at the Hospital to overcome the complaints that arise. This causes the patient to experience stress physically and psychologically. Objective: To explain the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on the stress response, blood glucose levels, and quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: This systematic review used the PRISMA approach. The database used in this study were Scopus, Pubmed, Proquest, and Science Direct in English. Results: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) could reduce muscle tension, stress, lower blood pressure, increased tolerance for daily activities. Regular exercise can make it easier for patients to concentrate and relax conditions will be more quickly achieved thereby increasing the performance of the adrenal glands to produced sedative hormones which will have an impact on reducing stress and decreasing blood glucose levels so that the quality of life of DM patients increased. Conclusion: PMR influences the stress response, blood glucose levels, and quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus. Keywords: progressive muscle relaxation; stress; blood glucose level; quality of life; diabetes mellitus ABSTRAK Latar belakang: Berbagai komplikasi yang ditimbulkan menyebabkan pasien diabetes mellitus harus menjalani perawatan di Rumah Sakit untuk mengatasi keluhan yang ditimbulkan.

Metode: Systematic review ini menggunakan pendekatan PRISMA. Database yang digunakan adalah Scopus, Pubmed, Proquest, dan Science Direct menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Hasil: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) mampu mengurangi ketegangan otot, menurunkan stress, menurunkan tekanan darah, meningkatkan toleransi terhadap aktivitas sehari-hari. Latihan yang teratur dapat membuat pasien lebih mudah untuk memusatkan pikiran dan kondisi rileks akan lebih cepat tercapai sehingga meningkatkan kinerja kelenjar adrenal untuk memproduksi hormon penenang yang akan berdampak pada penurunan stres dan penurunan kadar glukosa darah sehingga kualitas hidup pasien DM meningkat.

Objective: to synthesize the knowledge and to critically evaluate the evidences arising from randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of the complementary therapies in the management of cancer pain in adult patients with cancer in palliative care. Method: a systematic review guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The search for articles in the MEDLINE, ISI Web of Knowledge, CENTRAL Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases, as well as the manual search, selection of studies, data extraction, and methodological assessment using the Cochrane Bias Risk tool were performed independently by two reviewers. Results: eight hundred and fifteen (815) studies were identified, six of them being selected and analyzed, of which three used massage therapy, one study used a combination of progressive muscle relaxation and guided imaging, and another two studies used acupuncture. Most of the studies had an uncertain risk of bias (n=4; 67%). Conclusion: while the evidence from the studies evaluating the use of massage therapy or the use of progressive muscle relaxation and guided imaging for the management of cancer pain in these patients demonstrated significant benefits, the other two studies that evaluated the use of acupuncture as a complementary therapy showed contradictory results, therefore, needing more research studies to elucidate such findings.
