Kanker merupakan penyebab kematian tertinggi di seluruh dunia, kanker merupakan penyakit kronis yang dapat menyebabkan berbagai masalah pada pasien sehingga mereka menerima berbagai perawatan seperti kemoterapi, terapi radiasi hingga Tindakan operasi. Kemoterapi sebagai perawatan jangka Panjang yang mencakup banyak siklus dan menyebabkan efek samping seperti anoreksia dan gangguan tidur. Salah satu intervensi yang dapat dilakukan untuk menurunkan anoreksia dan meningkatkan kualitas tidur pada pasien kemoterapi adalah relaksasi benson. Penelitian menggunakan desain case report dengan pendekatan asuhan keperawatan berbasis Evidence-Based Nursing Practice (EBNP). Subjek terdiri dari tiga pasien menderita kanker diruang rawat inap yang menjalani kemoterapi dengan diagnosis keperawatan defisit nutrisi, serta gangguan kualitas tidur. Intervensi meliputi penerapan relaksasi benson dilakukan dua kali sehari siang dan malam selama lima hari berturut-turut selama 20 menit. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan Visual Analog Scale (VAS) untuk mengukur anoreksia dan The St Mary’s Hospital Sleep Questionnaire (SMHSQ) untuk kualitas tidur Hasil menunjukkan penurunan tingkat anoreksia dari anoreksia sedang hingga anoreksia ringan, serta peningkatan kualitas tidur pada seluruh pasien dengan peningkatan skor SMHSQ dari kategori gangguan tidur berat hingga gangguan tidur ringan. Terapi relaksasi benson yang dilakukan dapat mengurangi anoreksia dan meningkatkan kualitas tidur pada pasien kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi. Terapi relaksasi benson dapat diterapkan secara mandiri, dimanapun dan kapanpun sebagai tindakan nonfarmakologis untuk mengurangi anoreksia dan meningkatkan kualitas tidur.References
