It shows that there is a significant difference in pain intensity before and after Benson Relaxation in postoperative femur fracture patients with p value 0.000 (P < 0.05), and the results of the study using the Independent t-test statistic test showed that there was a significant difference in pain intensity between the experimental group and the experimental group. control group of postoperative Femur Fracture patients with p value 0.010 (P < 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is a significant effect on pain intensity after Benson Relaxation in postoperative Femur Fracture patients.
