A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy On Anxiety Among Elderly At Selected Old Age Home At Bhopal

Abstract

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) has remained an important tool in the treatment of anxiety disorders in recent times. It is clear that geriatrics are highly agitated and require relaxation strategies to quiet their minds. The goal of this study was to use Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation approach to help geriatrics feel less anxious. The purpose of this study was to see how effective Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy is at reducing anxiety in the elderly. With one group pre-test and post-test, a pre-experimental design was used. A total of 50 senior people were included in the study. Demographic data and a HAM-A tool to determine anxiety levels were utilised to perform the study. The study clearly indicates a considerable reduction in stress and anxiety among the elderly, indicating that Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy is effective in reducing anxiety
