Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major global public health problem, with prevalence increasing, particularly among adults and older adults. Non-pharmacological interventions such as relaxation techniques and physical exercise are widely recommended for blood pressure control. However, evidence directly comparing the relative effectiveness of these two approaches remains limited and inconsistent. Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of relaxation techniques and physical exercise in reducing blood pressure using a meta-analytic approach. Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies evaluating relaxation techniques or physical exercise interventions on blood pressure outcomes were included. Statistical analyses were performed using a random-effects model with standardized mean difference (SMD) as the effect size metric. Heterogeneity and subgroup analyses by age group and intervention type were conducted. Results: A total of 33 studies were included in the analysis. Overall, non-pharmacological interventions significantly reduced blood pressure (SMD = −0.744; p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that relaxation techniques produced a greater reduction in blood pressure (SMD = −0.954) than physical exercise (SMD = −0.570). The largest effect size was observed among older adults (SMD = −1.075). Substantial heterogeneity was identified across studies (I² = 74.1%). Conclusion: Both relaxation techniques and physical exercise are effective non-pharmacological interventions for reducing blood pressure, with relaxation techniques demonstrating greater and more consistent effects, particularly among older adults. These findings provide robust comparative evidence to support evidence-based hypertension management strategies.

Abstract

Labor pain is a subjective experience encountered by more than 90% of women worldwide, with intensity ranging from moderate to severe. At Pesanggrahan Regional General Hospital, pain management remains largely conventional and has not yet systematically incorporated complementary therapies. Lemon aromatherapy contains limonene compounds that exert analgesic and relaxation effects through stimulation of the limbic system, thereby reducing pain perception. This study aimed to determine the effect of inhaled lemon essential oil aromatherapy on pain intensity in women during the active phase of the first stage of labor at Pesanggrahan Regional General Hospital in 2025.This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The population consisted of women in the active phase of the first stage of labor at Pesanggrahan Regional General Hospital, with a total sample of 32 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an observation sheet using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-test.The results showed that prior to the intervention (pretest), the majority of respondents experienced severe pain, with a pain scale score of 8 (25.8%). After receiving inhaled lemon aromatherapy (posttest), pain intensity decreased, with most respondents reporting pain scores of 3 and 4 (each 19.4%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), with a mean reduction in pain intensity of 3.5806. It can be concluded that inhaled lemon essential oil aromatherapy has a significant effect on reducing pain intensity in women during the active phase of the first stage of labor at Pesanggrahan Regional General Hospital in 2025. This therapy may serve as a safe and effective non-pharmacological alternative for pain management in the delivery room
