<![CDATA[ABSTRAKHipertensi merupakan suatu keadaan meningkatnya tekanan darah sistolik lebih dari sama dengan 140 mmHg dan diastolik lebih dari sama dengan 90 mmHg. Beberapa penanganan dalam hipertensi yaitu penanganan non farmakologis yaitu teknik relaksasi napas dalam, pijat refleksi kaki, hipnoterapi dan relaksasi otot progresif (Progressive Muscle Relaxation), beberapa keistimewaan dari teknik relaksasi otot profresif ini yaitu menurunkan ketegangan otot, sakit kepala, menurunkan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolic. Tujuan penelitian, untuk mendapatkan pengalaman dan kompetensi lebih dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan komprehensif pemberian terapi Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) terhadap penurunan tekanan darah. Adapun kegiatan yang dilakukan berupa penyuluhan menggunakan leaflet dan demonstrasi terapi Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). Terdapat penurunan tekanan darah setelah dilakukan terapi Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) pada penderita hipertensi. Dengan demikian, terapi Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) sangat efektif dalam menurunkan tekanan darah. Kata Kunci: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), Hipertensi, Tekanan Darah ABSTRACTHypertension is a state of increased systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic more than equal to 90 mmHg. Some treatments in hypertension are non-pharmacological treatments namely deep breathing relaxation techniques, foot reflexology massage, hypnotherapy and progressive muscle relaxation (Progressive Muscle Relaxation). diastolic. The goal of the study was to gain more experience and competence in the provision of comprehensive nursing care in the provision of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy for reducing blood pressure. The activities carried out in the form of counseling using leaflets and demonstrations of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy. There is a decrease in blood pressure after Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy in patients with hypertension. Thus, Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) therapy is very effective in lowering blood pressure. Keywords: Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), Hypertension, Blood Pressure]]>
