research was Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
Result: Based on the result of the research using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, it can be obtained the
value of p 0,000 (p<0,05), Z arithmetic = -3,938 > Z table = -1,96. Statistic test Man Withney U
value p 0,000 (p<0,05), Z arithmetic = -5,218 > Z table = -1,96.
Conclusion: Therefore progressive relaxation can be applied in nursing intervention to overcome
the paintl.
