Kecemasan merupakan masalah psikologis yang sering dialami pasien gagal ginjal kronik yang menjalani hemodialisis. Efektivitas kombinasi teknik relaksasi Benson dan murottal Al-Qur'an dalam menurunkan kecemasan masih terbatas.Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas kombinasi teknik relaksasi Benson dan murottal Al-Qur'an terhadap tingkat kecemasan pada pasien hemodialisi. Menggunakan Quasi-experimental design dengan pendekatan pretest-posttest control group design. Sebanyak 76 responden dipilih dengan consecutive sampling dan dibagi menjadi kelompok intervensi (38 responden) dan kontrol (38 responden) berdasarkan jadwal hemodialisis. Kelompok intervensi memperoleh kombinasi teknik relaksasi Benson dan murottal Al-Qur'an selama 15 menit 2 kali perminggu selama 2 minggu, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menerima perawatan standar rumah sakit. Tingkat kecemasan diukur menggunakan Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) serta diuji dengan Wilcoxon signed-rank test dan Mann–whitney U test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kecemasan menurun pada kelompok intervensi dengan median 13,00 (IQR 5,25) menjadi 7,00 (IQR 5,00) (p

Anxiety is a psychological problem commonly experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. The effectiveness of combining the Benson relaxation technique with recitation of the Qur’an in reducing anxiety remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of combining the Benson relaxation technique with recitation of the Qur’an on anxiety levels in hemodialysis patients. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was used. A total of 76 respondents were selected using consecutive sampling and divided into an intervention group (38 respondents) and a control group (38 respondents) based on their hemodialysis schedules. The intervention group received a combination of the Benson relaxation technique and recitation of the Qur’an for 15 minutes twice a week for 2 weeks, while the control group received standard hospital care. Anxiety levels were measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results showed that anxiety levels decreased in the intervention group, from a median of 13.00 (IQR 5.25) to 7.00 (IQR 5.00) (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, the control group showed no significant change, with the median shifting from 14.00 (IQR 4.25) to 15.00 (IQR 3.50) (p = 0.296). Before the intervention, there was no difference in anxiety levels between the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.179). After the intervention, a significant difference was observed, with a median of 7.00 (IQR 5.00) in the intervention group and 15.00 (IQR 3.50) in the control group (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the combination of Benson’s relaxation techniques and recitation of the Qur’an is effective in reducing anxiety levels in hemodialysis patients. This intervention may be considered to reduce anxiety in hemodialysis patients.
