Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes that occurred in 2015 was 9.3% and is estimated to increase every year. Type 2 diabetes occurs because of insulin resistance, where glucose fails to enter cells, usually at the age of 30 years. One modality therapy that can be done is progressive muscle relaxation. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at GRANDMED Lubuk Pakam hospital. This research method uses a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest. The sample size of 10 respondents was selected by using non-probability sampling type consecutive sampling. The paired hypothesis test results from the uij-t sample at a significance level of 95% obtained p value <α, which is 0.001, showed that there was an effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy to reduce blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The conclusion was that there was a significant difference between blood glucose levels before and after progressive muscle relaxation therapy. It is recommended that health care institutions need to implement new policies related to the application of progressive muscle relaxation technique therapy.
