ABSTRACT This quasi experimental research aimed to study the effectiveness of Zikr meditation on post operative pain and physiological response, among Muslim patients who underwent abdominal surgery. The two- group pre and post test experimental design was used as the research design. This study was conducted at two surgical wards in Adam Malik Hospital and Pirngadi Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. A purposive sampling technique was used and 30 subjects were assigned to either an experimental or control group. The paired matching technique (age and sex) was used to match the subjects of the experimental and the control group: three age groups (18-30 years, 31-45 years, 46-60 years); and gender (female and male) were identified. The experimental group practiced Zikr meditation for 30 minutes each period over 2 days: day 1 (6-8 hours after surgery) and day 2 (24-30 hours after surgery). The researcher developed guidelines for practicing Zikr meditation, which was used as an intervention to reduce post operative pain. A Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure the intensity of pain; vRPURQw digital blood pressure analyzer and a stop watch vERG\ sculpture ,QWuO(XURSHw were used to measure physiological changes and pulse rates. Pain intensity and physiological response were measured before Zikr meditation practice, at the time of Zikr meditation practice, then 30 minutes, and 60 minutes after the practice. Chi - square tests, Fischer exact test, and the Monte Carlo techniques were used to compare the equivalence of the demographic data of the subjects in the experimental and control groups. An independent t-test was used to compare pain intensity, and the Mann - Whitney U test was used for physiological responses.

The findings revealed that the pain intensity in the experimental group showed a statistically significant difference compared to the control group in day 1 (6-8 hours after surgery) (t14 = 5.29, p
