A total of 40 respondents were divided into two groups: the intervention group, which received a combination of Benson relaxation therapy and Surah Ar-Rahman murottal, and the control group, which received no treatment. Respondents' sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument.</p> <p><strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> The results showed a significant improvement in sleep quality in the intervention group after therapy, while the control group showed no significant change. Statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating that the combination of Benson's relaxation therapy and recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman from the Qur'an significantly improved sleep quality in hypertensive patients. These findings suggest that the combination of therapies can serve as a safe, easy-to-apply, non-pharmacological intervention to improve sleep quality in hypertensive patients.</p> <p><strong>Implications:</strong> The practical implication of these findings is that healthcare professionals can incorporate Benson therapy and the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman as a non-pharmacological intervention in the management of hypertension. This method is easy to implement both in healthcare facilities and independently at home, thereby helping to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and support patients’ blood pressure control.</p> Lu'lu'atul Isna Faridah Sukarmin Sukarmin Sri Siska Mardiana Copyright (c) 2026 Lu'lu'atul Isna Faridah, Sukarmin Sukarmin, Sri Siska Mardiana https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-02-28 2026-02-28 4 1 10.60079/ahr.v4i1.702 http://advancesinresearch.id/index.php/AHR/article/view/693 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> This study aimed to analyze the relationship between mental health, self-confidence, and self-control with fatherlessness among grade IX students at SMP Negeri 4 Bae Kudus. The hypothesis proposed that poorer mental health, lower self-confidence, and weaker self-control are significantly associated with higher fatherlessness.</p> <p><strong>Research Method:</strong> This research used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 212 grade IX students, and 139 respondents were selected using Slovin’s formula with proportional random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, including the MHC-SF, self-confidence scale, self-control scale, and Father Presence Questionnaire, then analyzed using univariate and Chi-Square tests.</p> <p><strong>Results and Discussion:</strong> The findings showed significant relationships between mental health and fatherlessness (p=0.000), self-confidence and fatherlessness (p=0.000), and self-control and fatherlessness (p=0.003). These results indicate that lower paternal involvement is associated with poorer psychological well-being, reduced confidence, and weaker self-regulation among adolescents.</p> <p><strong>Implications:</strong> The findings highlight the importance of fathers’ emotional presence in adolescent development and suggest strengthening family-based interventions and school counseling support, as well as further research on paternal involvement and adolescent well-being.</p> Berlian Hakim Arief Rusnoto Rusnoto Anny Rosiana Masithoh Copyright (c) 2026 Berlian Hakim Arief, Rusnoto Rusnoto, Anny Rosiana Masithoh https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-02-28 2026-02-28 4 1 10.60079/ahr.v4i1.693
