Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg in the walls of arterial blood vessels. Hypertension rarely causes symptoms so many do not realize that they have suffered from hypertension. This condition needs more attention, as hypertension can cause a variety of chronic diseases such as strokes, heart failure and even death. Efforts to implement hypertension can basically be done through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. To find out the results of application of Inner Breath Relief Technique with combination of Dzikir Asmaul Husna against blood pressure in hypertensive patients in RSUD Dr. Soediran Mangun Sumarso. This research design uses case study methods with descriptive research modes.

An increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure is known as hypertension.When people are unaware of how to effectively treat their hypertension, the prevalence of high blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to a host of issues.Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the leading causes of death from cardiovascular disease.As many as 26.5% of Indonesian people were hypertensive in 2013. Premature mortality, heart failure, and neurological diseases are all increased by hypertension. Factors related to socioeconomic status, age, and lifestyle can all contribute to the development of hypertension.As we get older, our big blood arteries undergo structural changes that raise cytolic blood pressure and constrict the channel lumen, increasing the chance of developing hypertension.Google Schoolar, published between 2019 and 2021, is utilized in this research.This research aims to better understand hypertension, or high blood pressure.High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) is the subject of this journal's qualitative research, which consists of reading a variety of publications.The general population has accurate information regarding hypertension, according to this journal's findings.

Complications such as stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and heart failure can arise as a result of hypertension as a long-standing disease. Foot massage can help lower blood pressure and dilate blood vessels, reducing complications of hypertension. The aim of EBPN is to analyze the application of Evidence Based Practice Nursing (EBPN) foot massage therapy in hypertensive patients. The method for implementing EBPN through case studies uses a descriptive method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest approach to foot massage therapy (3 times for 15 minutes in 3 consecutive days) to reduce blood pressure. The sample consisted of 1 female respondent and 2 male respondents. The tensimeter and observation sheet are the measuring tools used. EBPN results: All 3 (100%) respondents had suffered from hypertension for > 5 years. There was a change in blood pressure before and after the intervention with the results: respondent 1 BP 139/85 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg, respondent 2 BP 139/88 mmHg to BP 130/82 mmHg, and respondent 3 BP 147/97 mmHg to BP 138/89 mmHg. The average decrease in systolic blood pressure in the 3 respondents was 8.5 mmHg, while diastole decreased by an average of 5.8 mmHg. The suggestion for hypertension sufferers is that hospital staff can offer foot massage as a method to lower blood pressure to patients suffering from hypertension.

Introduction: Hypertension (HTN), defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mmHg, is a major health problem that is growing worldwide. It is the most common risk factor for cardiovascular disease and affects nearly two-thirds of adults aged 60 years or older. The side effects caused by experiencing prolonged high blood pressure are kidney damage (kidney failure), heart (coronary heart disease) and brain which can lead to stroke if not detected early and receive adequate treatment. And can also cause death. Risk factors for complications of hypertension include elderly age, medication compliance, and lifestyle. Empowerment of the elderly can be through non-pharmacological therapy. An example of non-pharmacological therapy is by doing anti-hypertension exercises. The purpose of this program is for the elderly to be able to learn about hypertension and apply how to do anti-hypertension exercises. The method used is providing education to the elderly and applying anti-hypertension exercises with participants (elderly). Implementation of health education and anti-hypertension exercise activities for the elderly at the UPTD for Elderly Social Services in Binjai in November 2023.

The month of Ramadan is a special time for Muslims to worship, erase sins, and gain the rewards and pleasure of Allah SWT. Shaum or fasting, the primary worship during this month, involves abstaining from things that invalidate the fast. However, fasting is not intended to be difficult, as stated in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah: 185, which emphasizes ease rather than hardship in fasting. Besides its spiritual aspects, fasting also has health benefits, such as helping patients with obesity and heart disease. For patients with chronic kidney disease who require hemodialysis, fasting can be particularly challenging. Hemodialysis is a life-saving method that involves cleaning the blood outside the body. In Islam, there are principles of ushul fiqh that provide rukhsah or legal concessions for those who face difficulties in fulfilling religious obligations due to certain conditions. However, if a kidney failure patient insists on fasting despite having been granted rukhsah, this is known as azimah. This study aims to explore the status of azimah for hemodialysis patients who choose to fast from an Islamic perspective. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and in-depth interviews with fiqh experts, this research seeks to understand the legal implications and medical conditions involved. The results are expected to provide clearer insights into the practice of fasting for hemodialysis patients within the context of Islamic jurisprudence.

Heart failure is a pathophysiological condition where the heart's function as a pump is no longer able to meet the need for blood throughout the body for tissue metabolism (Price, 2015). This situation causes a decrease in cardiac output which can cause comfort problems based on clinical manifestations such as tightness, pain, heart palpitations, a feeling of coldness in the peripheral area, even swelling, muscle stiffness, numbness, and other subjective feelings felt by the patient himself. is defined as a disturbance of comfort because it is difficult for someone to determine the feeling they are experiencing so that the use of the word comfort is more appropriate to describe the feelings experienced by the patient so it is appropriate that in this condition there is a disturbance of comfort in the patient (Potter & Perry, 2014). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hydro-aromatherapy on comfort in Heart Failure patients. This research method is a quasi-experimental pre test and post test with two groups, namely the intervention and control groups. Research data collection was carried out during September 2023 at the Integrated Heart Center (PJT) RSUP.H. Adam Malik Medan. The number of respondents with a diagnosis of CHF that met the study inclusion and exclusion criteria was 32 patients. In the intervention group, they were given a warm water foot soak mixed with aromatherapy oil, while in the control group they only soaked their feet in warm water. Measurement of comfort level uses the "daisy comfort scale" or the numerical daisy comfort intensity scale (Kolcaba, 2000). The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in effect on increasing comfort levels (p<0.005) in the intervention group by soaking feet in warm water mixed with aromatherapy oil (p=0.000). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that soaking feet in warm water mixed with aromatherapy oils in heart failure patients can increase comfort.

Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and is most common in society. Hypertension is now a major problem for all of us, not only in Indonesia but in the world, because hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes and stroke (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018 shows that around 1.13 billion people in the world have hypertension, meaning that 1 in 3 people in the world are diagnosed with hypertension. The number of people with hypertension continues to increase every year, it is estimated that by 2025 there will be 1.5 billion people affected by hypertension and it is estimated that every year 10.44 million people die due to hypertension and its complications (Ministry of Health, 2019). Based on Riskesdas 2018, the prevalence of hypertension based on measurement results in the population aged 18 years was 34.1%, the highest in South Kalimantan (44.1%), while the lowest was in Papua (22.2%). Hypertension occurred in the age group 31-44 years (31.6%), age 45-54 years (45.3%), age 55-64 years (55.2%). From the prevalence of hypertension of 34.1%, it is known that 8.8% were diagnosed with hypertension and 13.3% of people diagnosed with hypertension did not take medication and 32.3% did not regularly take medication. This shows that the majority of hypertension sufferers do not know that they have hypertension and therefore do not receive treatment (Ministry of Health, 2019).
