Abstract

Background: Pregnant women are susceptible to anxiety disorders that result in hypertension. Previous studies that have been carried out with warm water foot bath therapy, which can relax the body, previous research only measured the level of anxiety psychologically and never seen a physiological/molecular increase in blood pressure from the indicator of cortisol levels.Purpose: To analyze the effect of warm footbath therapy on the blood pressure and cortisol levels in gestational hypertension.Methods: This experimental study has a randomized pre-post-test control group design. They involved 40 subjects in two groups. The control group was given 10 mg of nifedipine, while the intervention group was given 10 mg of nifedipine and a warm water foot bath at 40-43oC for 15 minutes for 14 consecutive days. Pre-post cortisol levels were measured with the ELISA method cortisol test.Results: A warm water foot bath therapy effectively decreased systolic blood pressure in the intervention group, which was 43 mm Hg compared to the control group, 19 mm Hg (p<0.05). Diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group was 15.5 mmHg compared to the control group's 6.5 mmHg (p<0.05), and cortisol levels in the intervention group: 48.1 ng/ml compared to the control 14.5 ng/ml (p<0.05).Conclusion: Warm water foot bath therapy at 40-43oC for 15 minutes for 14 consecutive days reduces systolic blood pressure by decreasing cortisol levels in hypertensive pregnant women.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension during pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Rosella flower infused-water, rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols, have been shown to lower blood pressure safely. Although previous studies have highlighted the antihypertensive effects of rosella in the general population, research specifically focusing on its use in pregnant women with hypertension is still limited.Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of rosella flower-infused water on control blood pressure reduction in pregnant women with hypertension.Method: The research design used is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test approach involving 100 pregnant women with hypertension in Desa Karangraharja. The intervention group received 200 ml of rosella flower-infused water for 14 days in conjunction with nifedipine 10 mg, while the control group only received nifedipine 10 mg. The blood pressure of the control and intervention groups was measured using the Mann-Whitney Test.Results: The rosella flower-infused water effectively reduced systolic blood pressure in the intervention group by 24.92 mmHg compared to the control group by 18.78 mmHg (p=0.000). Diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group decreased by three mmHg, although this was not statistically significant compared to the control group's decrease of 3.6 mmHg (p=0.715).Conclusion: The 200 ml rosella flower-infused water for 14 consecutive days reduced systolic blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension.
