Abstract

Academic stress is a major challenge among health sciences students and may lead to physical tension and sleep disturbances. Facial massage and progressive muscle relaxation are non pharmacological interventions that promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation and facial massage in reducing the level of academic stress among adolescents. This study employed a quasi experimental design using a one group pretest posttest design, involving 13 respondents who met the inclusion criterion of having a comparable academic workload. The research instruments consisted of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) questionnaire and an intervention observation sheet. The results showed that, at baseline (pre test), only 30.8% of respondents were categorized as having a normal level of stress. Following the intervention (post-test), the proportion of respondents in the normal stress category increased to 92.3%. The normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed, with p-values of 0.111 for the pre-test and 0.481 for the post-test (p > 0.05). The paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test stress scores (p = 0.001, p < 0.05), with a calculated t-value of 4.626 and a mean reduction in stress score of 8.615. In conclusion, the combination of progressive muscle relaxation and facial massage was significantly effective in reducing academic stress levels among adolescents. These findings suggest that this combined non-pharmacological intervention may be a feasible approach for managing academic stress among students.
