PENGARUH TERAPI WARNA HIJAU TERHADAP TEKANAN DARAH SISTOLIK PADA LANSIA DI PANTI SOSIAL TRESNA WERDHA WANA SERAYA DENPASAR
Abstract: Increased of
Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) is a manifestation of cardiovascular organ
degeneration in elderly. One of non pharmacological therapies that can affect
blood pressure is green color therapy. Green is able to reduce tension,
suppresses the activity of the sympathetic
nervous system, dilates
capillaries, and stimulates
the pituitary to release neurohormones, which
can lower blood
pressure. This study
aims to determine
the therapeutic effect of green color on SBP in elderly in the Elderly
Social Institution of Wana Seraya Denpasar.
This research is a
quasy-experimental study (pre-test
and post-test with control
group design). Samples consisted
of 30 elderly
people that selected by purposive sampling, divided into control and
experimental groups. The experimental group was given green color therapy for
10 minutes every day for seven days. SBP pre-test and post-test in both groups
was measured by
sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.
The results show an increase of
0,0573 mmHg at an average SBP in control group, and decrease of 6,54 mmHg on average SBP
in experimental group.
Based on the
independent sample t-test,
this difference was statistically
significant, with t
value of -10,456 and Sig.
(2-tailed) of 0,000, which means there is a therapeutic
effect of green color therapy for systolic blood pressure in elderly in the
Elderly Social Institution of Wana Seraya Denpasar.
