Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which blood pressure in the arteries increases persistently above normal values, namely ≥140 mmHg for systolic pressure and/or ≥90 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Hypertension is defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure that can be caused by various factors such as age, unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and lack of physical activity. This condition is generally found in the elderly group, due to changes in the function of aging organs and blood vessels. Indonesian Tera Gymnastics is a form of breathing exercise and slow movements, similar to Tai Chi, aimed at improving physical health and relaxation. For people with hypertension, this exercise helps lower blood pressure by improving heart function, breathing, and relaxation.

Abstract

Relaxation therapy is among the non-pharmacological methods that has been proven effective in addressing various health problems, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. One approach that can be applied is Benson relaxation therapy, which combines deep breathing techniques and positive suggestions to help reduce stress. This research aims to examine the effect of Benson relaxation therapy on lowering blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The methodology employed in this study was a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach. The total sample size for this study comprised 37 respondents, selected through purposive sampling techniques. The instrument utilized was an observation sheet, and testing was carried out with the Wilcoxon test. The findings indicated a significant decrease in blood sugar levels after the application of Benson relaxation therapy for 2 weeks (p<0.05) in type II diabetes mellitus patients at the Deli Tua Health Center. This decrease is due to the effect of therapy in reducing stress, that contributes significantly to the regulation of stress hormones and glucose metabolism. In conclusion, Benson relaxation therapy is effective as an additional therapy to help lower blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
