Abstract

Stress among public health volunteers, such as Posyandu workers, can lead to a decline in service quality and community involvement. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Benson relaxation technique in improving stress management among Posyandu workers. The method used in this study was a pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach. The participants in this study were five active Posyandu officers. The intervention consisted of stress management lectures and practice of the Benson relaxation technique to control stress. The Benson relaxation technique was conducted for 20 minutes over three sessions. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results showed a consistent decrease in the average stress score from 25.2 ± 1.9 (pretest) to 15.2 ± 1.9 (posttest). Participants reported increased calmness, emotional stability, better sleep quality, and greater confidence in carrying out public health tasks. The combination of physiological relaxation, spiritual affirmation, and social support contributed to the observed improvements. The conclusion drawn is that Benson relaxation education effectively reduces perceived stress and enhances psychological resilience among officers. This method is recommended as a nursing modality therapy that is accessible, low-cost, and sustainable for strengthening the mental health and performance of public health volunteers.

Abstract

Indonesian women who carry out dual roles as housewives and posyandu cadres have the potential to experience stress due to domestic, social, and economic demands. As health volunteers, Posyandu cadres are required to carry out various service tasks with limited resources and compensation, so it has the potential to increase stress. This condition reflects the complexity of the responsibilities faced by Posyandu cadres in balancing the demands of family and community services. This study aims to explore the experiences and coping strategies used by posyandu cadres when facing role stress. This type of research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach Five participants were selected through purposive sampling. Researchers collected data through in-depth interviews, field notes, and documentation. The researcher analyzed the data using the Colaizzi method thematically. The results of the study identified four main themes, namely stress-triggering factors which include domestic workload, dual roles as cadres, economic pressure, and lack of family support; stress reactions that include emotional, physical, social, and spiritual responses; coping strategies that include religious coping mechanisms, social support, emotion regulation, and rearrangement of activities; and the meaning of stress as a test, moral responsibility, and the process of self-maturation. This study concludes that stress in posyandu cadres is multidimensional and requires psychosocial support and stress management training to strengthen adaptive coping skills.
