Abstract

This study aims to determine the benefits of applying Benson relaxation in managing pain and supporting wound healing in post-breast cancer surgery patients in the Rajawali Ward of Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. This research method uses a descriptive design with a case study on post-breast cancer surgery patients. The results showed that post-breast cancer surgery patients before being given Benson relaxation had an average pain scale of 6.00 and after being given Benson relaxation had an average pain scale of 3.33. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the application of Benson relaxation is effective in managing pain and supporting wound healing in post-breast cancer surgery patients in the Rajawali Ward of Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. The application of Benson relaxation can be an effective nursing intervention in managing pain and supporting the wound healing process in post-breast cancer surgery patients. Therefore, nurses can consider implementing Benson relaxation as part of the care of post-breast cancer surgery patients.
