<![CDATA[Pain is one of the main complaints experienced by postoperative patients, including those undergoing laminectomy, which can interfere with comfort, hinder mobility, and slow the healing process. Non-pharmacological nursing interventions such as relaxation techniques have become important alternatives for reducing pain holistically. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the finger-holding relaxation technique in reducing pain in postoperative laminectomy patients. The study used a descriptive case study design involving a patient named Mrs. S in the Amarilis Ward of Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Regional Hospital, Purwokerto. The intervention was carried out for three consecutive days, twice a day, with each session lasting 15 minutes. The results showed a marked decrease in pain score from a scale of 7 (severe pain) on the first day to 1 (mild pain) on the fourth day, accompanied by gradual improvement in physical mobility, absence of surgical wound infection, and better discharge readiness. This technique also had a positive impact on the patient’s emotional comfort. Therefore, the finger-holding relaxation technique is proven to be a simple yet effective intervention in supporting the holistic recovery of postoperative laminectomy patients.]]>
