Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention model:
Single Group Assignment
Intervention model description:
The Benson relaxation consisted of the following steps: (1) Sitting or lying down quietly
in a comfortable position; (2) Closing eyes; (3) Deeply relaxing all muscles, beginning
at the feet and progressing up to the face. Keeping them relaxed; (4) Breathing through
the nose. (5) Maintaining a passive attitude and permitting relaxation to occur at its
own pace; (6) Continuing for 15 minutes. When finished, sit quietly for several minutes,
at first with eyes closed and later with eyes opened. Do not stand up for a few minutes.
According to the agreement, the patients in both groups were required to perform the
Benson relaxation technique regularly twice daily (morning and evening) for seven days in
a row. Each session lasted 15 minutes.

Summary:
The benson Relaxation Technique (BRT), developed by Dr. Herbert Benson, is a method aimed
at reducing stress and anxiety through a series of simple steps designed to elicit the
"Relaxation Response." This response is a physiological state that counteracts the
harmful effects of stress, characterized by decreased heart rate, lower metabolism, and
reduced breathing rate
