Hypertension is a condition that is often found in patients with Type II DM. This condition requires proper treatment because it can cause various complications experienced by patients. Benson relaxation exercises are an alternative therapy that can be applied to DM patients who have hypertension. Apart from being able to control blood glucose levels, several studies have shown that this relaxation exercise has a significant effect in lowering blood pressure. This study aims to see the effect of Benson relaxation exercises on the blood pressure of patients with Type II diabetes.This type of research is quantitative with a pre and post test quasi-experimental design.
