Efektifitas Terapi Relaksasi Benson Terhadap Tekanan Darah Pada Penderita Hipertensi

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is associated with an increase in systolic pressure or diastolic pressure or the pressure of both. Hypertension is defined as persistently high blood pressure where the systolic pressure above 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure above 90 mmHg. One of the non-pharmacological treatments for hypertension is with Benson relaxation therapy. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of Benson relaxation therapy on blood pressure in patients with hypertension in Unggahan Village. Method: The research design was a pra-experimental design with one group pre-post test design. The research sample consisted of 30 people. The sampling technique used non-probability sampling with techniques purposive sampling and data from respondents was collected by using a digital tensimeter measuring instrument. This study used a Paired t-test examination significant standard α=0.05. Result: The result of the study shows that before was given a Benson relaxation therapy that was Mean systolic blood pressure is 149.93, and the Mean diastolic blood pressure is 89.33. Then, after giving a Benson relaxation therapy that was Mean systolic blood pressure is 138.97 and the Mean diastolic blood pressure is 84.07. The results of the examination Paired t-test, obtained the score p pre and post (0,000) < α (0,05), which means that H0 is ferected and Ha accepted. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that there is an effect of Benson relaxation therapy on blood pressure in patients with hypertension in Unggahan Village.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Intervention with Slow Deep Breathing Exercise (SDBE) on Blood Pressure of Hypertension Patients

“…The relaxation method can control the nervous system which is useful for lowering blood pressure. The basic concept of relaxation techniques is essentially a way of relaxation that is needed to reduce tension in muscles that can improve pulse, blood pressure, and breathing (Atmojo et al, 2019).…”

The Effect of Benson and Autogenic Relaxation Therapy on Sleep Quality, Blood Pressure and Anxiety of Hypertension Patients

“…This situation provides a signal which is then sent to the medulla oblongata which will provide information about increased blood flow. This information will be forwarded to the brainstem, as a result the parasympathetic nerves experience increased activity and the sympathetic nerves experience decreased activity on the chemoreceptors, so that an increase in blood pressure and lung inflammation will reduce the heart rate and cause vasodilation in a number of blood vessels (Atmojo et al, 2019).…”
