Abstract

ntroduction: Hypertension is a high blood pressure condition often referred to as the "silent killer" as it is frequently asymptomatic but can lead to a range of serious health complications, including heart disease and stroke. The prevalence of hypertension continues to rise worldwide, with projections of reaching 29% of the adult population by 2025. To control hypertension, complementary therapies such as acupressure are emerging as a supportive complement to the management of high blood pressure, especially for the elderly, to improve their quality of life and ease the burden on the healthcare system. Objectives: to analyze the effect of acupressure therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive elderly. Methods: Pre-Experimental Design, with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Results: The results showed a decrease in average systolic blood pressure by 24.08 mmHg, from 148.08 mmHg in the pre-test to 124.00 mmHg in the post-test, with a p value of 0.002. In addition, there was a decrease in mean diastolic blood pressure by 11.83 mmHg, from 85.83 mmHg in the pre-test to 74.00 mmHg in the post-test, with a value of (p value 0.013). These results indicate that acupressure therapy has a significant effect on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that causes morbidity and mortality in the world where 9.4% of deaths each year are due to complications of hypertension. Hypertension is characterized by an increase in systolic pressure> 140 mmHg and diastole> 90 mmHg. Dry cupping is an alternative therapy used in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The aim of the study: to determine the effect of dry cupping therapy on blood pressure in primary hypertensive patients. This study is a Quasi-experimental with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The number of samples was 15 patients with primary hypertension who were taken by purposive sampling technique. Measurement of data using digital tension onemed brand. Data analysis using Paired T Test. The results showed that the systolic blood pressure obtained a p value of 0.000 and the diastolic blood pressure obtained a p value of 0.001 which means that there is an effect of systolic  and diastolic blood pressure before and after being given dry cupping therapy. Dry cupping therapy can be used as an alternative therapy for patients with primary hypertension.
