Abstract
The incidence of hypertension at the Tadoy Community Health Center reached 29.4%, with 78 cases reported among pregnant women in 2023, half of which were pregnancy-induced hypertension (HDK). Hypertension during pregnancy poses short-term risks to both mother and fetus. In addition to pharmacological treatment, non-pharmacological therapies such as warm water foot soaking and Ambon banana consumption are considered beneficial. This study aimed to examine the effects of these two interventions on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach involving two pregnant women diagnosed with hypertension. The results showed that warm water foot soaking significantly reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg at the first visit to 130/85 mmHg at the second visit, and further to 120/75 mmHg. Similarly, Ambon banana consumption reduced blood pressure from 150/90 mmHg to 140/90 mmHg, and eventually to 120/80 mmHg. Although both interventions were effective, warm water therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness in lowering blood pressure compared to banana consumption. These findings suggest that simple, non-pharmacological interventions can help manage hypertension in pregnancy. It is recommended that pregnant women apply warm water foot soaking independently to help control blood pressure and reduce pregnancy-related risks.
