Abstract

Background : Hypertension is a prevalent condition among the elderly, characterized by blood pressure exceeding 140/90 mmHg. Globally, 7 out of 10 elderly individuals are affected, with over 50% of elderly people in Indonesia suffering from hypertension, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality, including 427,218 deaths annually in Indonesia. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of family nursing care with Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) interventions in managing hypertension among elderly individuals. Methods : A community services using case study was conducted with two elderly individuals, involving health counseling, diet modifications, and support for hypertension management. Results : The intervention led to a significant reduction in blood pressure for both participants, as evidenced by a p-value 0.05 using the Wilcoxon test. Conclusion : Family nursing care, including PMR, effectively reduces blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients, highlighting the importance of non-pharmacological approaches to improve adherence and manage hypertension in this population.
