Abstract

Background: Acupressure is a treatment that uses finger compression techniques on acupuncture points instead of needle sticks in the acupuncture system. This treatment is safe because it is non-invasive and contains specific substances that apply acupressure to acupuncture points. Accelerates the flow of life energy throughout the body. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acupressure therapy on lowering blood pressure in older people with hypertension according to the Tresna Werdha Method. The design used is quasi-experimental using a non-randomized pre-test and post-test control group approach. The population of this study was elderly and using a targeted sampling technique, a sample of 18 of hers was included, consisting of 9 of hers in the intervention and control groups. result: Results showed that acupressure therapy had a significant effect on lowering systolic blood pressure (p-value = 0.001 < 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (p-value = 0.04 < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, acupressure therapy has been shown to lower blood pressure in older adults with hypertension and may be used as an alternative, non-pharmacological treatment in the treatment of hypertension.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major non-communicable disease with a continuously increasing global prevalence. Psychological stress is a modifiable risk factor associated with impaired glucose regulation; however, public awareness of stress management remains limited. This study aimed to determine the effect of structured deep breathing education on adults' deep breathing skills as a non-pharmacological approach to support DM risk reduction. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted among 43 adults selected through purposive sampling in Kebayoran Lama Selatan, South Jakarta. Participants received education and guided practice in slow deep breathing, and their skills were assessed using an observation checklist before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The median skill score increased from 26 (Q1–Q3: 25–31) before the intervention to 40 (Q1–Q3: 31–43) after the intervention. A statistically significant improvement was observed (Z = −4.863, p < 0.001), with a large effect size (r = 0.742). Structured deep breathing education significantly improved participants' ability to perform the technique correctly. These findings suggest that deep breathing education may serve as a simple complementary nursing intervention to support stress management as part of DM risk reduction strategies.
