Relaxation technique in postoperative patients. Most of the respondents had
moderate pain scale results as many as 77% of postoperative patients, the group after
intervention with Relaxation showed that most respondents had mild pain scale
results as many as 86% of postoperative patients. There is a difference in the results
of the pain scale between the pre-test and post-test with the Distraction technique in
postoperative patients. Most of the respondents had controlled severe pain scale
