Abstract

Elderly people who experience sleep disorders are at risk of various health problems, including hypertension. To treat insomnia comprehensively, an approach that not only relies on medication is needed, but also complementary therapies, one of which is brainwave music therapy. This music therapy can stimulate the brain to follow the vibrations and rhythms of music when individuals are in a resting state, so as to bring them into a relaxed state and make it easier to fall asleep. This study aims to analyse the effect of brainwave music therapy on the level of insomnia in elderly hypertension. The research design used a descriptive case study approach involving two hypertensive elderly subjects who experienced sleep disorders. Music therapy was performed six times with a duration of 10-15 minutes. Data were collected through insomnia scale and observation. The results showed a decrease in the level of insomnia in both subjects after undergoing brainwave music therapy. Subjects who initially experienced severe insomnia decreased to mild insomnia. This indicates that brainwave music therapy has the potential to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention in reducing insomnia symptoms in hypertensive elderly

Abstract

Lack of family support in patients with hypertension is often influenced by family perceptions and limited knowledge regarding hypertension management. This condition may lead to inadequate attention to patients and poor adherence to treatment and preventive measures. In contrast, family attention, empathy, and involvement in patient care can positively influence patient behavior and improve psychological well-being. This study aimed to identify the level of family support among patients with hypertension before and after the implementation of family support education. This research employed a descriptive case study design involving two research subjects. Data were collected using a family support questionnaire covering emotional, informational, instrumental, and appraisal support. The findings showed that before the educational intervention, subject 1 had not met family support in all four aspects, with informational support being the lowest due to limited access to health information. Meanwhile, subject 2 showed the lowest score in instrumental support due to economic limitations. After the implementation of family support education, both subjects demonstrated improvements and fulfilled all four aspects of family support. It is recommended that families maintain these four aspects of support to enhance patient care, and future researchers are encouraged to conduct separate assessments between family members and patients to obtain more comprehensive results.
