Abstract

Abstract Acute postoperative pain following long bone fractures is a common clinical problem that may hinder the healing process and delay early patient mobilization. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) techniques in reducing the intensity of acute postoperative pain in patients with long bone fractures. A randomized controlled trial with a pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The sample consisted of 72 respondents, who were divided into an intervention group (NSAIDs + PMR) and a control group (NSAIDs only). Univariate analysis showed that the mean pain intensity in the intervention group decreased from 68.2 ± 8.5 mm before the intervention to 32.4 ± 7.6 mm after the intervention, while in the control group, mean pain intensity decreased from 67.9 ± 8.1 mm to 48.6 ± 8.9 mm. Bivariate analysis using the paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity before and after treatment in both the intervention group (p = 0.000) and the control group (p = 0.001). Furthermore, the independent t-test revealed a significant difference in post-intervention pain intensity between the intervention and control groups (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that Progressive Muscle Relaxation is effective as a complementary therapy in reducing acute postoperative pain following long bone fractures and is recommended for integration into postoperative nursing care.

Abstract

Pain is an experience of subjective and physiological condition. Accurate pain assessment is essential and effective for the successful implementation of pain management. The inability of nurses to assess pain and poor communication between patients and nurses leads to ineffective pain management. In addition, an adequate level of knowledge and a positive attitude in caring for patients is an important component in the delivery of pain management. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factor of knowledge and attitude of nurses towards pain management at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Method: The type of research used in this study was quantitative with a survey method research design. Respondents in the study amounted to 84 nurses in the RB6. RA3, RA4 dan RA5. Bivariate Data Analysis with Chi-Square. Results: The result chi-square test analysis obtained a p-value for the variable of age (0,472). Education (0,790). Experience (),376), knowledge (0,099), and attitude  (0,000). Conclusions: Attitude is the nurse's readiness or willingness to act in the assessment and reassessment of pain, managing pain, and evaluating it. Good nursing attitudes are needed to improve the implementation of pain management at the H. Adam Malik Central General Hospital, Medan.
