Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to impaired insulin secretion or function. This chronic condition affects not only physical health but also psychological well-being, particularly anxiety. Uncontrolled anxiety may worsen physiological conditions and influence blood glucose levels. One of the non-pharmacological interventions to reduce anxiety is Benson relaxation therapy combined with deep breathing relaxation and five-finger hypnosis. Objective: To analyze nursing care for anxiety in patients with diabetes mellitus through the implementation of Benson relaxation therapy at RS PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong. Methods: This study used a case study design on five respondents, patients with diabetes mellitus who experienced anxiety in the Barokah Room of PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Gombong. Anxiety levels were measured using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42) questionnaire. The intervention was provided over three days, with six sessions, in the morning and afternoon, with each session lasting 10–15 minutes. Evaluation was conducted by comparing scores before and after the intervention. Results: All respondents showed a decrease in anxiety scores after therapy, with an average decrease of 4–5 points. Patients with the highest score reductions were K3, K4, and K5, with an average decrease of 5 points from the moderate to mild category. Patients appeared calmer, more relaxed, and able to control their anxiety, as well as being more accepting of their condition. The results of the assessment of the five patients showed that the majority were female. Recommendation: Benson relaxation therapy can be applied routinely in nursing practice to help reduce anxiety in DM patients
