Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. Hypertension is defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure, where systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. One of the therapies that can be used to lower blood pressure is Tera gymnastics, which is specifically designed for the elderly and individuals with hypertension. This therapy involves regular, structured, and planned movements that are slower and more harmonious compared to other types of gymnastics, reducing the risk of injury and promoting overall fitness in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Tera gymnastics on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, involving 17 respondents from the Babakan Sari Community Health Center, RW 09. Instruments used in this study included a digital sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, and observation sheets. Results: The results of the t-test analysis showed a significant effect of Tera gymnastics on blood pressure reduction, with a p-value of 0.000 ( 0.05) for both systolic and diastolic pressures. The average blood pressure before the intervention was 140/179 mmHg, while the average blood pressure after the intervention was 132/157 mmHg. The movements in Tera gymnastics improve blood circulation, making it a suitable alternative therapy for individuals with hypertension. Conclusion: Tera gymnastics has a significant influence on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension at UPT Babakan Sari RW 09, Bandung City. It is suggested that community health cadres continue implementing Tera gymnastics as an alternative treatment for hypertension. Additionally, it is recommended to perform Tera gymnastics three times a week to maintain blood pressure stability in elderly individuals with hypertension.

Abstract

Self-efficacy merupakan keyakinan individu terhadap kemampuannya dalam menghadapi dan menyelesaikan berbagai permasalahan kehidupan. Pada remaja akhir, self-efficacy menjadi faktor penting dalam menghadapi masa transisi menuju dewasa yang penuh dengan tuntutan dan tekanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran self-efficacy pada remaja akhir usia 18–24 tahun di wilayah UPTD Puskesmas Babakan Sari. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 172 responden yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner self-efficacy dengan skala Likert. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dalam bentuk distribusi frekuensi dan persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki self-efficacy dalam kategori sedang sebanyak 82 orang (47,7%), diikuti kategori tinggi sebanyak 60 orang (34,9%), dan kategori rendah sebanyak 30 orang (17,4%). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah sebagian besar remaja akhir memiliki tingkat self-efficacy yang cukup, namun belum optimal dalam menghadapi tantangan kehidupan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya peningkatan self-efficacy melalui edukasi dan dukungan sosial agar remaja mampu menghadapi masa transisi menuju dewasa secara lebih adaptif.
