World Health Organization (WHO) menyatakan bahwa di negara berkembang sebesar 33% penduduk mengalami nyeri punggung (Nurfajri et al., 2022). Riskesdas (2018) prevalensi penyakit muskuloskeletal adalah sebesar 7,3% (KemenKes RI, 2018). Data Dinkes kota padang (2014) keluhan muskuloskeletal merupakan peringkat keempat sebanyak 39.449 kasus (Lestari, 2019). Di SMK N 1 Bukittinggi sebanyak (92,3%) dari 52 siswa mengalami nyeri pada punggung. Tujuan umum penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi relaksasi otot progresif terhadap nyeri punggung pada siswa. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif, desain penelitian quasi eksperimen, jumlah sampel 30 responden dilakukan pre tes dan post test desain selama 3 hari berturut turut pada siang hari selama 20 menit. Pengolahan data dilakukan menggunakan spss menggunakan uji shapiro wilk dan hasil hipotesa penelitian dengan uji wiloxon. Hasil analisa univariat menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata nyeri punggung pada responden sebelum dilakukan intervensi adalah 3,50 (nyeri ringan), dan rata-rata nyeri punggung pada responden setelah dilakukan intervensi 1,63 (nyeri ringan). Hasil univariat menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan rata-rata intensitas nyeri sebelum dan sesudah pemberian terapi relaksasi otot progresif di SMK N 1 Bukittinggi Tahun 2023 ( p=0,00) Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian terapi relaksasi otot progresif berpengaruh signifikan pada penurunan intensitas nyeri responden. Oleh karena itu disarankan kepada pihak sekolah bisa menjadi terapi relaksasi otot progresif sebagai salah satu alternatif dalam mengurangi nyeri punggung pada siswa melalui UKS.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that around 33% of the population in developing countries experience back pain (Nurfajri et al., 2022). According to Riskesdas (2018), the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases is 7.3% (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2018). In Padang, musculoskeletal complaints ranked fourth with 39,449 cases according to data from the Padang City Health Office (2014) (Lestari, 2019). At SMK N 1 Bukittinggi, a staggering 92.3% out of 52 students experienced back pain. The overall objective of this study was to determine the impact of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on back pain in students. This research employs a quantitative approach and follows a quasi experimental design. The sample comprises 30 respondents who underwent a pre test and post-test design over three consecutive days, each session lasting 20 minutes. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, incorporating the Shapiro Wilk test, and the research hypothesis was assessed using the Wilcoxon test. Univariate analysis results exhibited that the average level of back pain among respondents prior to the intervention was 3.50 (indicating mild pain), while after the intervention, the average back pain level reduced to 1.63 (also indicating mild pain). Univariate outcomes revealed a significant disparity in pain intensity before and after the administration of progressive muscle relaxation therapy at SMK N 1 Bukittinggi in 2023 (p=0.00). In conclusion, the findings indicate that the application of progressive muscle relaxation therapy significantly reduces the intensity of back pain among respondents. Therefore, it is recommended that schools consider incorporating progressive muscle relaxation therapy as an alternative approach to mitigate back pain among students through the UKS (School Health Unit).
