The results of the study showed that there was an effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on reducing the pain scale in hypertensive patients with the results of the paired sample t-test obtained a p-value = 0.000, because the p-value <0.05.

Background: Typically lasting six to eight weeks, the postpartum period is a time of recovery following childbirth. Afterpains are a type of discomfort that can be caused by uterine contractions during the involution process. Massage or other non-pharmacological treatment can be used to ease discomfort. Using specific techniques, massage can lessen or even eliminate pain. Methods: The cross-sectional design of the quantitative research design was used in this study. The objective was to compare how massage reduced postpartum pain in Cilacap City mothers before and after intervention. 30 postpartum mothers who were experiencing postpartum pain two hours later comprised the population. Saturation sampling was used for the sampling, and there were a total of 30 participants. The frequency distribution was used in univariate data analysis, while the paired-sample t-test was used in bivariate data analysis. For the pain scale, the paired-sample t-test analysis produced a t-value of 8.238. Results: As a result, the calculated t-value exceeded the critical t-value for a pain scale of 8.238 > 2.045, indicating acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho), indicating that massage is effective in reducing postpartum pain in women. Conclusion: massage has been shown to reduce postpartum pain in mothers.

Childbirth is often perceived as frightening and causing extreme pain. Some mothers also feel traumatized by their first childbirth process because of various difficulties and pain during childbirth so that they are reluctant to plan to have children again. Labor pain is caused by uterine contractions and dilation of the cervix and lower uterine segment. Survey data from PMB Restu Bunda in 2024 on 5 mothers who gave birth, it was found that overall respondents experienced pain, as many as 3 people with a pain scale of 7 (severe pain) and as many as 2 people with a pain scale of 6 (moderate pain). One non-pharmacological therapy that can reduce the intensity of pain is back massage using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). The research objective was to determine the effect of back massage with Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) on the intensity of active labor pain in the first stage of labor at the IMP Restu Bunda Gunung Terang Sub-District of West Tulang Bawang Regency. The quantitative research type is a pre-experimental design, one group pre-test - post-test design. The population in this study were all mothers who were going to give birth, as many as 22 mothers, with a sample of 18 people taken by accidental sampling. The study was conducted at the IMP Restu Bunda of Gunung Terang Sub-District West Tulang Bawang Regency. Data collection used observation sheets. Data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate tests (Wilcoxon test). The study results showed that the average labor pain before being given a back massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) was 7.0 and after being given a back massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) was 5.2. There was an influence of back massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the intensity of active labor pain in the first stage at the IMP Restu Bunda of Gunung Terang Sub-District of West Tulang Bawang Regency with a p-value = 0.001 (p-value <α = 0.05). Suggestions for health workers can recommend back massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) can be used as complementary therapy for mothers in the first stage of labor.

Background : Nurses play an important role in providing nursing care to Space Occupying Lession (SOL) patients.

Results: After the intervention, the patient showed a decrease in pain from scale 6 to scale 3 with the use of PMR. Improved physical mobility was observed through regular ROM exercises, and skin integrity was maintained with position changes and routine wound care. No complications occurred post intervention. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing care in patients with post-ORIF pelvic fractures can accelerate healing and reduce the risk of complications. Integrated interventions, including pain management, mobility, and skin care, play an important role in supporting patient recovery. The nurse's role in observation and collaboration with the medical team is essential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
