Abstract

Background : Pain is one of the physiological problems that can be found in mild head injury patients. Efforts that can be made to overcome these problems are autogenic relaxation interventions. Objective: This case study was conducted to describe an autogenic relaxation intervention on lowering pain scale in head injury patients. Method: This study uses a case study design with an evidence-based practice implementation approach that focuses on nursing interventions. The study was conducted at the BLUD RSU Banjar on 25-27 May 2022. The participants in this study were Mr. S aged 35 years, male, complaining of headaches on a scale of 5 (1-10). Pain measurement using Numeric Rating Scale. The process of assessing and establishing a diagnosis is focused on the main problem. Objective and subjective data becomes a reference for periodic evaluation of nursing implementation. Results: The patient acknowledged that pain decreased from a 5 to 2 scale after being given an autogenic relaxation intervention. Conclusion: Autogenic relaxation intervention should be suspected to be effective in reducing pain scale in patients with mild head injury, evidenced by the client's subjective acknowledgment that the pain scale decreased from 5 to 2 using the Numeric Rating Scale. Recommendation: This research does not conflict with previous research, so it can be a reference in future research. Clinically, autogenic relaxation intervention can be an alternative intervention to reduce the level of pain scale in patients who experience pain in hospitals and in health centers

Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is associated with mood instability in adolescents, affecting emotional well-being and daily functioning. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as autogenic relaxation, may help manage these fluctuations. This study examined the effect of autogenic relaxation therapy on mood changes in 88 female adolescents at SMP Negeri 1 Pare, Kediri Regency, using a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design. Mood was assessed with the Four Dimensions Mood Scale (FDMS) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Before the intervention, most participants (61.4%) reported negative mood. After autogenic relaxation, the majority (52.3%) shifted to the positive mood category, with statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001). These results suggest that autogenic relaxation promotes emotional regulation through focused attention and controlled breathing, supporting a physiological relaxation response. Autogenic relaxation appears to be a simple, accessible, and cost-effective method for managing PMS-related mood disturbances in adolescents. However, the absence of a control group and limited demographic scope warrant caution. Future studies with controlled designs and diverse populations are recommended.
