Abstract

The deep breathing relaxation technique is a form of nursing care, in which the nurse teaches the client how to take deep breaths, slow breaths (holding inspiration to the maximum) and how to exhale slowly. Apart from reducing pain intensity, deep breathing relaxation techniques can also increase lung ventilation and increase blood oxygenation. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation using leaflet media to reduce the anxiety level of preoperative plastic surgery patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Riau Province. This type of quantitative research uses a pre-experimental design approach. This research will be carried out at Arifin Achmad Regional Hospital, Riau Province.

The results and discussion show that there is an effect of deep breathing relaxation education using leaflet media on the anxiety level of preoperative plastic surgery patients with p value = 0.000. The conclusion is that there is an influence of deep breathing relaxation education using leaflet media on the anxiety level of preoperative plastic surgery patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital, Riau Province.
