Abstract

Postoperative pain belongs to acute pain category with characterized by having fast, sudden and lasting onset for short time. This research was conducted with Quasi Experiment method with "pre test-post test design", the sample selection used purposive sampling. Samples were 52 respondents. Data collection is carried out by using observation sheets, the data were processed by using the Wilcoxon Test with significance level α = 0.05 (95%), from 52 respondents divided into 2 namely distraction technique of 26 respondents before doing mild pain intensity as many as 9 respondents (34.6%), mild pain as many as 17 respondents (65.4) after doing there was no pain as many as 9 respondents (34.6%), mild pain as many as 10 respondents (38.5%), and moderate pain as many as 7 respondents (26.9%). Furthermore, the relaxation technique of 26 respondents before doing mild pain intensity as many as 10 respondents (38.5%), mild pain as many as 16 respondents (61.5) after being done there was no pain as many as 11 respondents (34.6%), mild pain as many as 8 respondents (38, 5%), and moderate pain as many as 7 respondents (26.9%). The study results showed that there was significant influence between distraction technique of listening to music with pain intensity change in postoperative patients (p value = 0.003 <α 0.05), and the existence of significant influence between deep breathing relaxation techniques with pain intensity changes in postoperative patients (p value = 0.002 value <α 0.05).
