Pengaruh Slow Deep Breathing Terhadap Penurunan Tekanan Darah Pada Pasien Hipertensi

Abstract

Hypertension is known as a major health problem worldwide that causes various life- threatening heart diseases. The Department of Health Household Survey on Health shows that hypertension is ranked first as the most common degenerative disease. The phenomenon found in the work area of the Tiban Baru Health Center in Batam City was 150 people. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the Slow Deep Breathing Technique on Blood Pressure Reduction in Hypertension Patients in the Work Area of the Tiban Baru Health Center, Batam City . The research method was Quasy Experimental Design, with pretest-posttest with control group. The sample consisted of 30 respondents consisting of 15 respondents from the intervention group and 15 control groups who suffered from hypertension in the Work Area of the Tiban Baru Health Center, Batam City , with the sampling technique of purposive sampling. The data was processed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the systolic blood pressure of the intervention group before being treated was 165.67 mmHg and diastolic 94.73 mmHg and the systolic blood pressure of the intervention group after being treated was 155.33 mmHg and diastolic 88.00 mmHg. Based on the characteristics of the respondents, the most age was >45 years (80%), and the most gender (73.3%) were women. The results showed that the p-value was 0.002 (<0.05). It was concluded that there was an effect of slow deep breathing on decreasing blood pressure. It is expected that people with hypertension can apply slow deep breathing therapy to lower blood pressure to avoid complications of hypertension.

Slow Deep Breathing Therapy for Reducing Pain In Patients With Head Injury

“…Latihan slow deep breathing merupakan tindakan yang secara tidak langsung dapat menurunkan asam laktat dengan cara meningkatkan suplai oksigen dan menurunkan kebutuhan oksigen otak, sehingga diharapkan terjadi keseimbangan oksigen otak [15]. Slow deep breathing merupakan tindakan yang disadari untuk mengatur pernapasan secara dalam dan lambat [16].…”

Reducing Blood Pressure in Hypertension Patients Using Exercise Intervention Slow Respiratory

“…The chemoreceptor and baroreflex systems are sensors that detect changes in blood pressure, and the central nervous system usually involves both of these sensors. The chemoreceptor system is very sensitive to changes in oxygen levels and plays a role in detecting changes in oxygen and blood pressure (Muchtar et al, 2022). Signals sent to the brain cause an increase in parasympathetic nerve activity and a decrease in sympathetic nerve activity, which causes a decrease in blood pressure.…”
