PENGARUH TERAPI RELAKSASI BENSON TERHADAP PENURUNAN TEKANAN DARAH PADA PASIEN HIPERTENSI DI PUSKESMAS ALUN-ALUN GRESIK

Abstrak

Pendahuluan: Hipertensi atau tekanan darah tinggi adalah keadaan kronis  ditandai meningkatnya tekanan darah pada dinding pembuluh darah. Terjadi karena jantung harus bekerja lebih keras memompa darah memenuhi kebutuhan tubuh akan oksigen dan nutrisi. Selain terapi farmakologis, penatalaksanaan hipertensi dapat menggunakan terapi non farmakologis salah satunya terapi relaksasi Benson. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis pengaruh terapi relaksasi benson terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pasien hipertensi dipuskesmas Alun-Alun Gresik. Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif, pendekatan pre eksperimental yaitu one grup pre-post test design. Teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling sejumlah 56 penderita hipertensi. Instrumen yang digunakan tensimeter digital dan lembar observasi tekanan darah. Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil : Ada penurunan tekanan darah rata-rata sistol 8.47 dan diastolik 12.42. Uji statistik Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test terlihat ada pengaruh dari terapi relaksai benson dengan nilai p = 0,000 (nilai p<0,05). Maka H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima, artinya ada pengaruh nilai tekanan darah sesudah terapi relaksasi relaksasi benson di Puskesmas Alun-Alun Gresik. Kesimpulan : Terdapat pengaruh terapi relaksasi benson terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi di Puskesmas Alun-Alun Gresik. Penelitian ini bisa diterapkan pada pasien hipertensi di Puskesmas Alun-Alun Gresik.

Introduction: Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the walls of blood vessels. This occurs because the heart has to work harder to pump blood to meet the body's need for oxygen and nutrients. Apart from pharmacological therapy, management of hypertension can use non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is Benson relaxation therapy. The aim of the research was to analyze the effect of Benson relaxation therapy on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients at the Alun-Alun Gresik health center. Method: This research uses quantitative methods, a pre-experimental approach, namely one group pre-post test design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling of 56 hypertension sufferers. The instruments used were digital blood pressure monitors and blood pressure observation sheets. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test. Results: There was a decrease in average systolic blood pressure of 8.47 and diastolic of 12.42. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test shows that there is an effect of Benson relaxation therapy with a value of p = 0.000 (p value <0.05). So H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is an influence on blood pressure values after Benson relaxation therapy at the Alun-Alun Gresik Health Center. Conclusion: There is an effect of Benson relaxation therapy on reducing blood pressure in hypertension sufferers at the Alun-Alun Gresik Health Center. This research can be applied to hypertensive patients at the Alun-Alun Gresik Health Center.
