The Application of Murrotal Therapy QS. Ar-Rahman to Reduce Pain in Diabetic Ulcer Patients at Lumajang Islamic Hospital

Abstract

Introduction: Pain in diabetic ulcers occurs as a result of peripheral neuropathy, infection, and inflammatory processes that exacerbate the condition of the wound. Non-pharmacological therapies such as the recitation of the Quranic surah Ar-Rahman are believed to provide a relaxing effect and reduce pain perception. This study aims to determine the effect of reciting Surah Ar-Rahman on pain reduction in patients with diabetic ulcers admitted to Lumajang Islamic Hospital.

Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test one-group design. The study sample consisted of 31 respondents selected using accidental sampling. Pain was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test.

Result: The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced moderate pain (23 respondents, 74.2%), and after the intervention, the majority experienced mild pain (26 respondents, 83.9%). The Wilcoxon test yielded a Z-value of -4.472 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant reduction in pain following the QS. Ar-Rahman murotal therapy.

Conclusion: Listening to the Murottal Surah Ar-Rahman can stimulate the parasympathetic response, which helps lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels. In the context of pain, this relaxing effect can reduce muscle tension and increase pain tolerance. Murottal therapy has been shown to reduce pain intensity in patients with diabetic ulcers, although a small proportion of patients still experience moderate pain
