Abstract

Introduction: One of the psychological responses encountered by nurses who treat COVID-19 patients is anxiety. The anxiety is caused by several factors including feelings of unsupported, worrying excessively about health, fear of carrying the infection and transmitting it to family members or others, a heavy workload, social stigmatization, feeling insecure for providing care. Moreover, this psychological problem caused low quality of health services for patients. Therefore, to reduce the anxiety of nurses who took care for Covid-19 patients, anxiety management using progressive muscle relaxation was needed. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on the level of anxiety in nurses caring for patients with Covid-19. Method: The research design used in this study was quasi-experimental, namely pre-test and post-test with control group design with purposive sampling technique. The number of samples is 52 nurses. The research instrument used the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SRAS) questionnaire. The paired T Test is applied for statistical analysis. Result: the result of this study indicated that progressive muscle relaxation had a substantial effect on the level anxiety in nurses caring for patients with Covid-19 in the intervention group with a P-value 0.000 (P value < 0,005). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is a complementary therapy that can be done independently by nurses and is effective in reducing anxiety.

Abstract

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological disorders among adolescent girls during menstruation, caused by increased prostaglandin production that triggers uterine contractions and menstrual pain. Psychological factors, such as stress, may intensify pain perception through hormonal imbalance, while abnormal Body Mass Index (BMI) can disrupt reproductive hormones and menstrual cycles. This study aimed to examine the relationship between stress level, BMI, and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. Methods: This quantitative analytic study employed a cross-sectional design involving 99 adolescent girls selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. Results: Most participants were aged 14–16 years (77.8%). The majority experienced moderate primary dysmenorrhea (51.5%), had severe stress levels (38.4%), and had a normal BMI (51.5%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between stress level and primary dysmenorrhea (p<0.001), as well as between BMI and primary dysmenorrhea (p<0.001). Conclusion: Stress level and BMI were significantly associated with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls at MTs Negeri 1 Jakarta. These findings highlight the importance of reproductive health education focusing on stress management and maintaining optimal nutritional status to reduce the risk of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents
