Abstract

Hypertension is one of the chronic health problems that is at risk of causing cardiovascular complications if not managed optimally. In addition to pharmacological therapy, a nonpharmacological approach is needed as a complementary therapy to help lower blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of healing touch and dhikr therapy on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The number of respondents was 46 hypertensive patients who were divided into intervention groups and control groups. The intervention group was given a combination of healing touch and dhikr therapy, while the control group only received standard therapy. Analysis of blood pressure differences before and after intervention in the intervention group was conducted using the Wilcoxon test for systolic blood pressure and the paired t-test for diastolic blood pressure. In the control group, the analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test. The comparison of blood pressure drops between groups was analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test. The results showed that systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group experienced a statistically significant decrease (p < 0.001). The decrease in blood pressure in the intervention group was greater than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that the combination of healing touch therapy and dhikr is effective as a complementary therapy in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that often causes psychological stress, one of which is anxiety. Anxiety in people with diabetes can worsen health conditions and hinder the healing process. Non-pharmacological therapies such as benson relaxation therapy and Surah Ar-Rahman's murotal therapy are suspected to have the potential to lower anxiety levels based on several previous study results. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of benzon and murottal therapy on the anxiety level of patients with diabetes mellitus. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a pre test and post test control group design approach in one intervention group. There were 52 respondents, of which each group would get 26 respondents who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Benson and murotal therapy interventions were given for 7 consecutive days with a duration of 10-15 minutes. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the intervention using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale questionnaire with a total of 21 questions. The results and discussion were obtained based on the Sapiro Wilk test and the T-test with the Paired Samples Test. The results of the analysis showed that the relaxation therapy of benson and murotal Surah Ar-Rahman had a significant effect on the anxiety level of Diabetes Mellitus patients in the Kaliwungu Health Center area, with a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the results of the comparison of the intervention group and the control group were with a p-value of >0.0001. The results of this study strengthen the theory that relaxation and spirituality-based nonpharmacological interventions are able to influence psychological responses, particularly in lowering anxiety levels.
