Labor is a complex interaction between psychological and physiological drives in women. (90%) delivery is accompanied by pain. In the active phase there is an increase in the intensity and frequency of contractions, so that the peak pain response is in this phase. Pain and soreness during labor are basically caused by strong contractions during labor. Breathing relaxation techniques can control pain by minimizing sympathetic activity in the autonomic nervous system. This study aims to determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation techniques on reducing labor pain in the first active phase. The type of design in this study is pre-experimental with The number of samples was taken according to the Accidental Sampling technique, samples were taken when patients went to the Andra Agustiana PMB Clinic with a minimum of 30 respondents. The data collection technique used a questionnaire sheet and a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scale. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before being given the breathing relaxation technique, most respondents experienced severe pain or pain levels on a scale of 7-10, namely 25 respondents (71.4%) and after being given deep breathing relaxation technique treatment, most respondents experienced moderate pain (scale 4-6) as many as 28 respondents (80%). The results of data analysis obtained the Asymp.significancy value = 0.000 (ρ<0.05). The conclusion is that there is an effect of providing deep breathing relaxation techniques on reducing labor pain in the first active phase. It is hoped that deep breathing relaxation techniques can be applied in the management of labor care as an alternative to reduce labor pain for mothers giving birth in the first active phase

Background: Urinary catheter insertion is an invasive medical procedure that often causes pain due to friction between the catheter and the urethra. This pain can lead to discomfort and stress for the patient. Based on initial observations in the Emergency Department (ED) over a period of three days, it was found that all patients undergoing urinary catheter insertion complained of pain. As an alternative pain management approach, one non-pharmacological method that can be used is a combination of Quranic murotal therapy and deep breathing relaxation techniques. This therapy is chosen because it is believed to have a calming effect and can reduce the perception of pain without the need for medication. Objective: This study aims to determine the difference in pain levels before and after the application of the combination of Quranic murotal therapy with deep breathing relaxation techniques during urinary catheter insertion in the ED. Method: This research uses a descriptive case study design involving two respondents. Both patients received an intervention consisting of Quranic murotal therapy played during the procedure, accompanied by instructions to practice deep breathing relaxation techniques. The therapy was applied during the urinary catheter insertion to assess changes in pain levels experienced by the patients. Results: The results showed that the pain level of the first respondent decreased from moderate pain to mild pain after the intervention. The second respondent experienced a reduction in pain from severe to moderate after the combined therapy was applied. Both respondents reported improved comfort after the therapy. Conclusion: The combination of Quranic murotal therapy with deep breathing relaxation techniques was proven effective in reducing pain levels in patients undergoing urinary catheter insertion in the ED. This therapy can serve as a beneficial non-pharmacological alternative for reducing pain during invasive medical procedures.

Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg in the walls of arterial blood vessels. Hypertension rarely causes symptoms so many do not realize that they have suffered from hypertension. This condition needs more attention, as hypertension can cause a variety of chronic diseases such as strokes, heart failure and even death. Efforts to implement hypertension can basically be done through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. To find out the results of application of Inner Breath Relief Technique with combination of Dzikir Asmaul Husna against blood pressure in hypertensive patients in RSUD Dr. Soediran Mangun Sumarso. This research design uses case study methods with descriptive research modes. Blood pressure test results after application of deep breath relaxation technique with a combination of dzikir asmaul husna at Tn. I 165/98 mmHg whereas at N. S 194/112 mm Hg due to N.S as a control group. There was a change in blood pressure before and after the application of deep breath relief therapy with the combination of dzikir asmaul husna in Mr. I.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease due to increased sensitivity of the airways to various stimuli. Bronchial asthma is not only a public health problem in developed countries, but also occurs in developing countries (WHO, 2016). Anxiety is a vague feeling of worry due to discomfort or fear accompanied by an autonomic response (the source is often unspecific or unknown to the individual), a feeling of worry caused by the anticipation of danger. Anxiety is a sign of increased alertness to impending danger and allows individuals to take action to face the threat (Doenges, 2015). The prevalence of anxiety disorders ranges from 6-7% of the general population (females are more prevalent than males) (Stuart, 2006). Lecturers and students from the Nursing and Nursing Study Program at Imelda University, Medan, chose to hold health education activities with the aim of helping as well as training both individuals and families regarding deep breathing exercises. This makes them aware and more diligent in practicing their breathing. The health education carried out in the courtyard of the sub-district office in Tanjung Mulia downstream began with holding talk activities and continued with outdoor counseling activities. This health education activity is of great interest to families in the community and it is hoped that it can be used as a lesson and make individuals and families more aware of the importance of deep breathing exercises to reduce anxiety in people with asthma.
