Abstract

Old age is a phase of life characterised by a decline in biological, psychological, and social functions, making individuals vulnerable to various health disorders, including sleep disorders (insomnia). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Benson relaxation training in overcoming sleep disorders in the elderly. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subject was a 68-year-old woman who experienced insomnia and anxiety due to psychological stress and traumatic life experiences. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and psychological tests (DASS-42 and graphic tests), which were then analysed to obtain a comprehensive picture of the subject's condition. The intervention, in the form of Benson relaxation technique training, was conducted over seven consecutive sessions, each lasting seven days. The results showed a significant improvement in the subject's sleep quality, marked by an increase in sleep duration, an anxiety reduction, and improved concentration and physical condition. The subject reported that Benson relaxation was easy to do independently or with family and provided a lasting calming effect. Thus, Benson relaxation can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention alternative for treating sleep disorders in the elderly.
