Background: The Benson Relaxation Technique, a mind-body approach, has been proposed as an effective intervention for prime-postnatal mothers to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression.
Objective: The study aims to comprehensively analyze and synthesize the existing literature on the influence of the Benson Relaxation Technique on psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression among primi-postnatal mothers.
Methods: A literature search spanning 2013-2024 analyzed studies on Benson Relaxation Technique's impact on psychological parameters in primi-postnatal mothers, assessing changes in these parameters through validated scales.
Results: The Benson Relaxation Technique significantly reduced stress, anxiety, and depression in primi-postnatal mothers, with some studies showing moderate to large effects.
Conclusion: The Benson Relaxation Technique, a potentially effective intervention for reducing stress and anxiety in postnatal mothers, warrants further research for its long-term effects and mechanisms.

Effectiveness of relaxation techniques for stress management and quality of life improvement in cardiovascular disease and hypertensive patients: a systematic review.

Background And Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and hypertension are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, significantly affecting quality of life (QoL). Stress, anxiety, and poor psychological well-being often exacerbate these conditions, creating a vicious cycle. Relaxation techniques, including progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and diaphragmatic breathing, assist in contracting and relaxing muscle groups to aid individuals in identifying and reducing physical tension and foster relaxation due to increased parasympathetic nerve activity, resulting in emotional tranquility.

The intervention lasted 8 weeks.
A Functional Response in Resource Selection Links Multiscale Responses of a Large Carnivore to Human Mortality Risk.

Theory suggests that animals make hierarchical, multiscale resource selection decisions to address the hierarchy of factors limiting their fitness. Ecologists have developed tools to link population-level resource selection across scales; yet, theoretical expectations about the relationship between coarse- and fine-scale selection decisions at the individual level remain elusive despite their importance to fitness. With GPS-telemetry data collected across California, USA, we evaluated resource selection of mountain lions (Puma concolor; n = 244) relative to spatial variation in human-caused mortality risk.
