Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on Anxiety Level of Medical Faculty Students in Indonesia
View through CrossRef
Abstract: Developments in various fields at this time provide a lot of pressure that causes anxiety and tension. Anxiety and depression are inhibiting factors for student academic achievement and must be overcome. Each individual responds differently to stressors and requires a different management approach. Many therapies are used to control anxiety, one of them is progressive muscle relaxation. The tension or anxiety felt can be lost or reduced when the position of the tense muscle is known and progressive muscle relaxation therapy is carried out. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on the anxiety level of students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Tarumanagara. This was an analytical study with a pretest-posttest control group design. Subjects were 80 students obtained by using the non-probability sampling technique and divided into control and experimental groups. Anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A) questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using paired t-test. The results showed a significant change in the level of anxiety in the experimental group before being given progressive muscle relaxation with a mean of 34.43 (severe anxiety) then decreased to 15.55 (mild anxiety) right after being given progressive muscle relaxation (p<0.0001). In conclusion, progressive muscle relaxation can be applied to reduce anxiety levels.Keywords: progressive muscle relaxation; anxiety level; medical students Abstrak: Perkembangan di berbagai bidang masa kini memberikan banyak tekanan yang mengakibatkan kecemasan serta ketegangan.
