PENGARUH PEMBERIAN TERAPI AIR HANGAT TERHADAP PENURUNAN TEKANAN DARAH PADA LANSIA DENGAN HIPERTENSI
Abstract: Hypertension is one
of the global public health problem. Management of overcoming hypertension
include two types of management, they are pharmacological and
nonpharmacological management. One of non-pharmacological management is a warm
water therapy.Warm water therapy is useful in reducing muscle contractions that
can lead to a relaxed feellingand reduce hypertension. The purpose of this
research was to know the difference in bloodpressure before and after the warm
water therapy in patients with hypertension at tambaksari,kembaran. this
research used pre experiment method with one group pre-test and post-test design.Research
instrument used were sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, thermometer and observationsheet.
Population and sample in this research were members of elderly posyandu with
hypertensionat Tambaksari. The sampling technique used in this research was
Simple Random Sampling. Statistical test used was paired t-test with α value
was 5%. The results showed that before being given a warm water therapy
systolic blood pressure average was of 170 mmHg and diastolic was90,36 mmHg.
The result after bing given warm water therapy systolic blood pressure average
was155,36 mmHg and diastolic one was 84,64 mmHg. The average decline of
systolic blood pressurewas 14, 643 mmHg and 5,714 mmHg of diastolic one. It
showed there is a significant difference of systolic and diastolic blood
pressure before and after being given warm water therapy. Theconclusion of this
research that there is the differences in blood pressure before and after being
given the warm water therapy in patient (ρ=0,000).
