Abstract

Background & Objective: Anxiety is one of the most common psychological problems experienced by the elderly, influenced by physical decline, chronic illness, and reduced social support. Spiritual interventions, such as  dhikr  therapy,  are  increasingly  considered  as complementary strategies to improve psychological well-being. This study aims to systematically review the effectiveness of dhikr therapy as a non-pharmacological intervention in reducing anxiety among the elderly. Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA approach. Articles were searched through Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Publish or Perish with the keywords “dzikir therapy,” “elderly,” and “anxiety reduction.” Inclusion criteria were journal articles in English or Indonesian, published in the last five years, with clear methodology. Fourteen studies were included in the analysis. Result: Most studies employed quasi-experimental and pre–posttest designs with samples ranging from 10 to 50 elderly participants. The findings consistently demonstrated that dhikr therapy effectively reduced anxiety levels, improved psychological well-being, self-esteem, sleep quality, and overall quality of life. In addition, dhikr therapy contributed to better blood pressure control and reduced depression in elderly with comorbid conditions. Conclusion: Dhikr therapy is an effective, simple, and low-cost non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety and enhance mental health among the elderly. Further studies with larger sample sizes, randomized controlled designs, and physiological measurements are recommended to strengthen the evidence base.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Hypertension is a major global health problem that can cause complications such as pain, discomfort, and decreased quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies, including aromatherapy, are increasingly used as complementary interventions. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of aromatherapy in reducing blood pressure, alleviating pain, and improving comfort in patients with hypertension. Method: This study used a literature review design with a descriptive analytic approach. The population consisted of research articles on aromatherapy in hypertensive patients. A purposive sampling technique was used based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 25 selected articles published between 2022 and 2026. Data were obtained from electronic databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Data were presented in tabular and narrative forms and analyzed using content analysis. The research instrument was a literature review checklist. Result: The findings showed that aromatherapy, particularly lavender, significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure with most studies reporting p-values less than 0.05. Aromatherapy also reduced pain intensity from moderate to mild levels and improved psychological conditions such as anxiety, sleep quality, and overall comfort. Combination therapies with relaxation techniques demonstrated greater effectiveness. Conclusion: Aromatherapy is an effective, safe, and complementary therapy in managing hypertension by reducing blood pressure, alleviating pain, and improving patient comfort, although further research with stronger designs is recommended.
