Nursing Care of Acute Pain in Rectal Cancer Patients Using Non-Pharmacological Approach with Benson Therapy: A Case Study
Subject
Benson therapy, acute pain, post-operative, rectal cancer
Description
Pain is the main problem experienced by many postoperative patients. One
of the therapies for patients with rectal cancer is surgery, so patients with
rectal cancer also feel pain after getting surgery. > 80% of patients
experience postoperative pain, but appropriate pain management only
occurs in approximately 30-50%. Benson's relaxation therapy reduces pain
intensity in postoperative patients without causing side effects. This study
aims to analyze benson therapy to reduce pain in postoperative surgery for
patients with rectum cancer. The method used in this research is a
descriptive case study. The research was conducted for three days on one
patient with postoperative surgery in the Seruni Room at RSD dr Soebandi
Jember. Benson therapy is carried out twice a day for 10-15 minutes. This
study found that Benson therapy can reduce the level of acute pain in
postoperative patients from the NRS scale 6 to the NRS scale 3, respiration
rate 20 x/minute, SpO2 98%, blood pressure 120/80mmHg, pulse 87x/
minute. The result of reducing the pain scale indicates that Benson therapy
can be applied to treat acute pain in postoperative patients to make certain
patients' conditions feel better.
