"Chemotherapy is one of the cancer treatment that could provide many side effects and decrease the functional status and quality of life cancer patients. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) training is one of the nursing intervention that leads to decreased physical and phsycological effect from chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to identify 'the effect of progressive muscle relaxation training on functional status in the context of the nursing care for cancer patients with chemotherapy'. This study was a quasi experimental using a nonequivalent control group with pretest and posttest design. The sample was cancer patients who received chemotherapy and inpatient in RS Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. A concecutive sampling was used as the sample collection method and 48 subjects were obtained this study, divided into two groups, each group consisted of twenty four subjects as intervention group who were given PMR training twice a day for seven days, and twenty four subjects as control group who were not given PMR training. The instrument that used in this study were demography form and Functional Living Index-Cancer to measure functional status which consisted 22 questions with 7-point Likert-Type linear analog scale. A T test was used to examine the differences of the mean of functional status scores and each dimension. The finding showed that there was a significant increased of the mean of functional status after PMR training in intervention group (p=0,000). It means that PMR training has an effect in increasing level of functional status in cancer patients with chemotherapy. It is recommended to apply PMR training as a nursing intervention to cancer patients with chemotherapy and suggested to conduct futher research using more samples."

"Gangguan yang paling sering dikeluhkan oleh pasien kanker paru adalah adanya kesulitan bernapas dan kecemasan yang menyebabkan pasien menjadi tidak relaks.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh program latihan pursed lip breathing (PLB) dan Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) terhadap peningkatan saturasi oksigenasi dan tingkat relaksasi pada pasien kanker paru. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Quasi eksperiment dengan desain pre dan post test without control group. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 19 orang. Alat ukur yang digunakan yaitu oksimetri nadi untuk menilai saturasi oksigen dan lembar monitoring subjektif dan objektif untuk menilai tingkat relaksasi.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai saturasi oksigen sebelum dan sesudah latihan PLB dan PMR (p value < 0,05) dan ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara tingkat relaksasi sebelum dan sesudah latihan PLB dan PMR (p value < 0,05). Hasil analisis multivariate didapatkan bahwa usia menjadi prediktor terhadap peningkatan saturasi oksigen.Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa latihan PLB dan PMR dapat meningkatkan saturasi oksigen dan tingkat relaksasi sebagai terapi komplementer pendamping terapi oksigen standar. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya terapi pengaturan napas dan teknik relaksasi untuk meningkatkan saturasi oksigen dan tingkat relaksasi pada pasien kanker paru stadium III dan IV.

The most common symptoms in lung cancer are dyspnea and anxiety that cause patients restlessness.

This study aimed to find out the influence of PLB and PMR training program on the increase oxygen saturation and relaxation level in patients with lung cancer. This study employed a Quasy Experiment with pre test and post test without control group. There were 19 participants in this study. The instruments used were pulse oxymetry to measure oxygen saturation and monitoring form to measure subjective and objective relaxation level.

The results show that there is a significant difference on oxygen saturation before and after PLB and PMR training program (p value < 0,05) and a significant difference on relaxation level before and after PLB and PMR training program (p value < 0,05). A Multivariate analysis shows that age becomes a strong predictor of oxygen saturation.

This study concludes that PLB and PMR training program apllied to patient with lung cancer increases oxygen saturation and relaxation level as a complementary therapyalong with oxygen standart therapy. This study sugests breathing and relaxation training program to increase oxygen saturation and relaxation level for patient with lung cancer at grade III and IV."
