Abstract

Background: Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the context of hypertension was important in understanding the impact of high blood pressure on the elderly. Several pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are expected to help reduce MAP values ​​in the elderly with hypertension. Soursop leaf tea, rich in antioxidants and potassium, is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving soursop leaf tea on reducing MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) values ​​in elderly people with hypertension in Simongagrok Village, Dawarblandong District, Mojokerto Regency. Methods: This study used a Pre-Experiment design using the (One-Group Pretest-Posttest) approach. In this study, a population of 19 elderly people in Simongagrok Village was obtained with a sample size of 15 respondents using the Quota Sampling technique. The instruments in this study were a blood pressure meter, observation sheets, and soursop leaf tea. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Results: The results of the study before being given treatment showed that 13 respondents (86.7%) experienced hypertension in the category of Mild MAP Value. After being given treatment, 15 respondents experienced hypertension in the category of Normal MAP Value with a percentage of 100%. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, a significant value was obtained, namely p ≤ ???? 0.05, namely 0.001 <0.05, which means that ????1 is accepted, so there is an effect of giving soursop leaf tea on reducing MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) values ​​in elderly people with hypertension in Simongagrok Village, Dawarblandong District, Mojokerto Regency. Conclusion: Giving soursop leaf tea is expected to be one of the independent therapies for nurses in providing non-pharmacological therapy in reducing MAP values ​​in elderly people with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in the elderly is caused by changes in blood vessels that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Ginger contains gingerol and flavonoids, which can improve blood circulation, helping to lower blood pressure in hypertensive elderly people. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of boiled ginger on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension in Tugusumberjo Village. Methods: This research design used the Quasi-Experimental method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample consisted of 37 respondents determined using the Isaac and Michael formula through a purposive sampling technique. The data collection tool was an observation sheet, and data analysis used the Wilcoxon Test because the data was not normally distributed, so the analysis was carried out with a non-parametric test. Results: This reduction in blood pressure occurs due to the gingerol and flavonoids in ginger, which help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation. With wider blood vessels, blood can flow more smoothly, so the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump it. Ginger also stimulates the release of the hormone adrenaline, which helps improve blood flow, ultimately helping to lower blood pressure more naturally. Conclusion: Research shows that boiled ginger is effective in lowering blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. The natural ingredients in ginger support blood vessel health, making this herbal drink worth considering as part of a healthy lifestyle to control blood pressure when consumed regularly.
