Abstract
Relaxation techniques are often employed as one element of a wider stress management program. Working women have to perform dual tasks at working place as well as at home which requires sufficient time and high level of energy and that increases not only physical stress but also mental stress. Hence our aim was to find out the prevalence of relaxation techniques in working women along with the commonest stress factor amongst them and the various relaxation techniques practiced by them. This was a cross-sectional study with a purposive sampling of 70 working women. Yoga (79%) was practiced majorly followed by meditation (71%). Despite of awareness, women were restricted from doing relaxation due to lack of time (75%) followed by lack of energy (69%). The present study concluded that relaxation techniques are helpful, cost-effective, and are most needed. It is very much advisable to all working women for their well-being.
