billion people around the world were suffered from hypertension, while in
Indonesia the figure reached 32 percent in 2008 with over 25 years of age
range. Benson relaxation can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, lower pulse
rate and breathing, and relax the muscles. By the time someone in a relaxed
state, stimulation of the sympathetic nerve activity is reduced and the body
will reduce the secretion of the hormone cortisol, epinephrine, and
noreprineprin where this state can lower blood pressure. This study aims to
determine the effect of relaxation benson on blood pressure in patients with
hypertension in the Health Center II East Denpasar. This study was a
quasi-experimental study (one-group pretest-posttest design). Sample consisted
of 30 respondents were selected by purposive sampling. The results of wilcoxon
signed rank test was statistically significant with a significance level of p =
0.000 (p value less than α=0,05), its mean there were differences in systolic
and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients before and after
administration of benson relaxation. This study suggested to the nurse to use
relaxation benson for non pharmacological management in hypertensive patients.
