Background : Hypertension is a health issues that needs attention. Based on Riskesdas Data, prevalence of hypertension increased from 7,6% in 2007 to 9,5% in 2013. One of the treatments which can be done is by giving fruits that contain potassium and fiber.Objective : To determine the effect of melon fruit on the decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension age 41-64 years.Method : This study used Quasi Experiment method with Pretest Posttest Control Group Design. The samples of study was determined by non randomized sampling technique consists of 11 treatments and 11 controls sampels.Results : There was significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the treatment and control group (p<0,05). There was no effect of giving melon fruit to decrease systolic (p=0,071) and diastolic (p=0,042) blood pressure in patient hypertension with control variable of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and fiber intake.Conclusion : Consumption of melon fruit for 9 days can reduce systolic blood pressure 14.82±5.759 mmHg and diastolic of 7.64±2.292 mmHg, although statistically insignificant. ABSTRAKLatar Belakang : Hipertensi merupakan masalah kesehatan yang perlu diperhatikan karena prevalensinya yang terus meningkat. Berdasarkan data Riskesdas, terjadi peningkatan hipertensi dari 7,6% tahun 2007 menjadi 9,5% pada tahun 2013. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk membantu menurunkan tekanan darah yaitu dengan pemberian buah-buahan yang mengandung kalium dan serat seperti buah melon.Tujuan : Mengetahui pengaruh pemberian buah melon terhadap tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik pada penderita hipertensi usia 41 -64 tahun.Metode : Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian eksperimen semu dengan desain penelitian pre dan post test control group design.Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik non randomized sampling untuk mendapatkan11 sampel perlakuan dan 11sampel kontrol.Hasil : Ada perbedaan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik sebelum dan sesudah pemberian buah melon (p<0,05) . Tidak ada hubungan antara pemberian buah melon terhadap tekanan darah sistolik (p=0,711) dan diastolik (p=0,442) pada penderita hipertensi usia 41-64 tahun di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Tlogosari Wetan yang dikontrol dengan asupan (kalium, natrium, magnesium, kalsium dan serat).Kesimpulan : Pemberian buah melon selama 9 hari mampu menurunkan tekanan darah sistolik sebesar 14,82±5,759 mmHg dan diastolik sebesar 7,64±2,292 mmHg, walaupun secara statistik tidak signifikan.Kata kunci : buah melon, tekanandarah, hipertensi PENDAHULUAN
