Abstract

Introduction: Surgery (appendectomy) is a common treatment for appendicitis. This procedure involves removing the appendix, either conventionally or via an endoscopic approach, depending on the patient's condition and available medical practices (Hanifah, 2019). One of the common effects after surgery is post-operative pain, which generally originates from the surgical scar.

Objectives: The purpose of this writing is to be able to carry out nursing care for post-appendectomy patients with finger-held relaxation therapy intervention to reduce the pain scale in the Arraudah room of RSI Ibnu Sina Yarsi Bukittinggi in 2024.
