Progressive muscle relaxation technique exercises is a non-pharmacological treatment which one of the uses<br />to lower or reduces pain (rheumatism) arthritis reumatoid on elderly. The purpose of this research was to<br />analyze the effent of Progressive muscle relaxation technique exercises Against Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain<br />Intensity on elderly. This research design used was one group pre-post test design. The populastion in this<br />research was all elderly who live in the Darus Syifa Jombang and suffer arthritis reumatoid. Sampling<br />technique used was total sampling (sampling saturated) with the sample as many as 17 respondents. The<br />independents variable was progressive muscle relaxation technique exercises while the dependent variable<br />was Pain Intensity. The instruments in this research used SOP (Standart Operarational Procedure) for<br />relaxation techniques and the observation sheet to overview level pain scale before and after treatment<br />relaxation techniques. With data processing by editing, coding, scoring, tabulating and statistic test used<br />wilcoxon. Based on results of the research that’s respondents before got before getting treatment experienced<br />pain intensity majority as many as 8 (47,1%) and after getting treatment experienced most of respondents<br />suffered mild pain intensity as many as 9 (52,9%).
