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.

A high-sodium and low-potassium consumption pattern can increase the risk of hypertension. Excess sodium can cause fluid retention and increase blood volume, while potassium plays a role in regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. This study aims to determine the relationship between high-sodium and high-potassium consumption patterns and the incidence of hypertension at the City Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas) in Bantaeng Regency. The research method used was quantitative analytic with a cross-sectional study approach. The study population was all 278 patients visiting the City Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas) in Bantaeng Regency. The sample size was 74 residents of the community at the City Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas). Purposive sampling was used. The research instrument used was a questionnaire, which was distributed to respondents. The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used for sodium and potassium consumption. The results showed a relationship between sodium consumption and the incidence of hypertension (p=0.003 meaning Ha was accepted.The results showed a relationship between potassium consumption and the incidence of hypertension (p=0.001) meaning Ha was accepted. Researchers hope that this research can be used as a support or source of information to develop knowledge in the field of community health, especially in nursing, related to sodium and potassium consumption in reducing blood pressure in hypertension patients.

Based on data from the South Nias District Health Office, the number of hypertension cases at Bawomataluo Public Health Center increased steadily from 2022 to 2024. This condition posed a high risk of leading to severe complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and damage to other organs. This study aimed to examine the factors influencing compliance with blood pressure control among hypertensive patients within the working area of Bawomataluo Public Health Center in the year 2025. This research employed a quantitative method using an analytic survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 185 individuals who had been diagnosed with hypertension over the past six months (from July to December 2024). A purposive sampling technique was used to select 127 participants. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Using logistic regression with the forward method, the results showed that knowledge had a significance value of 0.002 with an Exp(B) of 5.680; family support had a significance value of 0.000 with an Exp(B) of 6.740; motivation had a significance value of 0.000 with an Exp(B) of 6.947; and self-confidence had a significance value of 0.001 with an Exp(B) of 5.706. Among these, motivation was identified as the most dominant factor due to having the highest odds ratio (Exp(B)). The findings indicated that knowledge, family support, motivation, and self-confidence significantly affected compliance with blood pressure control among hypertensive patients at Bawomataluo Public Health Center. Motivation emerged as the most influential factor. It was recommended that the health center actively provide support and encouragement to patients suffering from hypertension.

Hypertension is one of the major health problems often experienced by the elderly, with complaints of headaches predominantly in the nape and forehead area. This complaint, if not optimally managed, can reduce the quality of life of the elderly and risk worsening overall health conditions. Non-pharmacological interventions such as warm compresses are one of the nursing interventions that are safe, effective, easy to implement, have minimal side effects and can be done independently at home. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing warm compresses in reducing the intensity of headaches in elderly with hypertension. Method: The method used is a descriptive case study with a nursing process approach that includes assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and comprehensive evaluation. Subjects: The subjects in this study were two elderly people aged 60–75 years with hypertension and a pain scale between 3–7 who were given warm compresses for six consecutive days at the same time each day. Results: The results of the study showed that after the intervention, there was a significant decrease in the pain scale. In the first subject, the pain scale decreased from 7 to 3, while in the second subject, it decreased from 6 to 3. Both subjects also reported a sense of comfort, body relaxation, and improved sleep quality after warm compress therapy. Recommendation: Based on these findings, warm compress is recommended as a non-pharmacological nursing action that can be used independently or in primary health care to help reduce headaches in elderly people with hypertension effectively and sustainably.

Background: Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term management through effective self-care behavior. Family support plays a crucial role in encouraging adherence and success in disease management among hypertensive patients. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 106 respondents were selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using the Somers’ D test to determine the relationship between family roles and self-care management. Result: The majority of respondents received good family support (76.4%) and demonstrated good self-care management (61.3%). Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between family roles and self-care management (p < 0.001), with a Somers’ D coefficient of 0.430. Family roles explained approximately 24.6% of the variation in patients' self-care behavior. Conclusion : There is a significant relationship between family roles and self-care management among hypertensive patients. Good family support, particularly emotional and instrumental support, can enhance the effectiveness of self-care in managing hypertension.    

Hypertension, which is common in the elderly, is a condition when blood pressure increases abnormally when measured in the systolic and diastolic phases. Blood pressure that exceeds 140/90 mmHg (systolic/diastolic) may indicate the presence of a health condition in the individual. comparison of the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and slow deep breathing on blood pressure of hypertensive clients at Perdha Pucang Gading Semarang is the main objective of this study. This study used a quantitative quasy-experiment method with a two group pretest and posttest group design, with 48 respondents selected through nonprobability sampling techniques. To ensure the normality assumption was met, the data was tested using the Shapiro-wilk test. Furthermore, statistical analysis was carried out with two types, namely paired t-test and independent t-test, to compare differences between data groups. The results showed that the elderly aged 60-75 years in the Panti experienced mild hypertension. Statistical analysis concluded that progressive muscle relaxation therapy and slow deep breathing were effective in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly (p<0.05). However, no substantial variation was found in the effectiveness between the two therapies in reducing systolic blood pressure (p 0.066>0.05).

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases that can cause death. This disease is called the silent disease because sufferers do not know they have hypertension. One of the absolute requirements for achieving effective therapy and improving the quality of life of patients is compliance, while patient non-compliance in taking medication is one of the main factors causing therapy failure. The role of nurses as educators helps patients increase their knowledge about medical care and actions so that patients get information to improve drug compliance for hypertension. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the role of nurses as educators and medication adherence in patients with hypertension at the Larangan Utara Health Center. The study design was a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all patients with hypertension who came for treatment at the Larangan Utara Health Center in Tangerang City. The sampling technique was Non Probability Sampling using the Purposive Sampling approach, namely 96 respondents. Data analysis of univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-Square test. The results showed that out of 96 respondents, 44 people chose the role of nurses with a moderate level of compliance (45.8%) and 28 respondents had high compliance (38.9%). The conclusion is that there is an influence between the role of nurses as educators and medication adherence. So the better the role of nurses as educators, the more patient compliance in taking medication

World Health Organization (WHO) hypertension is the leading cause of premature death worldwide. Changes in dietary patterns have occurred almost all over the world, both in developed and developing countries. Based on a preliminary study conducted at Posbindu Semanan 1 Jakarta on August 4, 2024, researchers interviewed elderly people with hypertension, elderly people still consume a lot of foods containing excess sodium (salt), salted fish, smoking, consuming caffeine, stress, and staying up late. All of these factors cause some respondents to experience hypertension. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional analytical survey design. The population is the elderly living in RW.006, Semanan Village, in the working area of ​​UPT Puskesmas Semanan 1. The sampling technique for this study was nonprobability sampling with a purposive sampling method. The results showed that the majority of elderly people aged <60 were 21 (52.5%), the majority of elderly people were female as many as 27 (67.5%), and the majority of elderly people had elementary school education as many as 23 (57.5%). The results of the identification of the majority of elderly people with good knowledge were 23 (57.5%), the majority of elderly people experienced hypertension as many as 27 (67.5%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed a relationship between elderly knowledge about the food consumed and the incidence of hypertension, the majority of elderly people with poor knowledge were 15 (88.2). The relationship between elderly knowledge about the food consumed and the incidence of hypertension p-value 0.039 <0.05. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between knowledge and the behavior of food consumed and the incidence of hypertension.

Resistant hypertension (RH) is defined as the failure to attain a controlled blood pressure in spite of the use of a triple combination therapy comprising a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RAS-i), a calcium antagonist, and a diuretic.Endothelin has been identified as a potential therapeutic agent target in the treatment of resistant hypertension. In hypertension and end-organ damage, endothelin plays a key role as a vasoconstrictor, comitogenic agent, and mediator of aldosterone and catecholamine release. ET inhibitors (receptor antagonist), currently approved by FDA in 2024 for the treatment of resistant and pulmonary hypertension. Aprocitentan seem to be also very useful for both essential hypertension and RH as well and could be used in combination of other hypertension drugs to get the best blood pressure control. Aprocitentan (Tryvio) is a novel new drug that administrated orally and showed well tolerated dual ET receptor antagonist, which has been inspected in numerous scientific studies and many clinical trials that showed hopeful results for RH control. As a result, that has been approved and optimistically it will help patients and prevent further cardiovascular disease and other organs damages. This article discusses several research that studied Aprocitentan from all aspects.

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. Blood pressure test results after application of deep breath relaxation technique with a combination of dzikir asmaul husna at Tn. I 165/98 mmHg whereas at N. S 194/112 mm Hg due to N.S as a control group. There was a change in blood pressure before and after the application of deep breath relief therapy with the combination of dzikir asmaul husna in Mr. I.

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.

There Are Differences Between Conditions Before And After Implementation. The Patient Data Before Implementation Was That The Patient Said Both Legs Were Swollen, While The Patient Data After Implementation Was That The Patient Said Complaints Of Swelling In The Legs Were Reduced And Blood Pressure Began To Fall, Namely 140/90 Mmhg, So It Can Be Concluded That There Is An Effect Of Hypertension Exercise Therapy On Reducing Blood Pressure. Blood In Hypertensive Sufferers. This Is In Accordance With The Journal That The Author Studied, Namely According To Rima Berliana Purbaningrum (2020).

In 2020, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) accounted for 73% of global causes of death, claiming the lives of 36 million people annually. The rising rates of morbidity and mortality are influenced by hypertension. One of the most prevalent cardiovascular disorders in the world today is hypertension.The research objective was to determine the correlation between knowledge with compliance with taking medication for hypertension sufferers at the Wonogiri Public  Health Center in North Lampung Regency. This research type is quantitative using a cross-sectional design with a population of 471 people. The sampling technique used purposive sampling of 83 respondents. The statistical tests used are Gamma and Logistic Regression. The study findings demonstrated a significant correlation between knowledge and hypertension patients' compliance to taking their medications (p-value=0.000).

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).

Hypertension is now a global problem because its prevalence continues to increase in line with lifestyle changes. Blood pressure that continues to increase causes the heart's workload to become excessive, triggering damage to blood vessels, heart failure, kidney failure, and blindness. Hypertension can be treated with non-pharmacological techniques, one of which is with morning walks. Purpose: to determine the effect of implementing morning walks on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension in Bendungan Village, Sragen Regency. Method: This research method is a case study and descriptive research using pretest and posttest observation sheets. In this case study, the researcher used a tensimeter to measure the respondent's blood pressure, carried out for 30 minutes a week (frequency 4 times). Results: The results of the implementation showed that there was a different decrease in blood pressure between respondent 1 and respondent 2 after implementing morning walks for 30 minutes 4 times a week. Both respondents were categorized as grade 2 hypertension decreasing to degree 1 hypertension. Conclusion: The conclusion from the application results is that the rate of decrease in blood pressure in Mrs. M is greater, namely systolic pressure of 24 mmHg diastolic 1 mmHg while Ny. W decreased systolic pressure 15 mmHg diastolic 6 mmHg.

Background:  Elderly is a condition where a person is 60 years old. Hypertension is a condition of a person who has mixture of salt and lemongrass that can facilitate blood circulation in the body. systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg and diastolic 80 mmHg. Data from the Kaliwungu Health Center (2023) shows that the number of hypertensive elderly is 18 elderly people. Non-pharmacological therapy that can be done by soaking warm water feet with aObjective: to determine the effect of the application of foot soak therapy using warm water with salt and lemongrass on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension in Kaliwungu Village, Semarang Regency. Method: this application uses a case study research design with prestest and post-test design. Samples were 2 elderly people who had 2nd degree hypertension. Results: the application of  there was a decrease in blood pressure that was different between respondent 1 and respondent 2 after the application of warm water foot soak with salt and lemongrass for 3 consecutive days for 20 minutes. Both respondents were categorized as grade 2 hypertension decreased to normal-high based on the PDHI classification (2019). Conclusion: Application of warm water foot soak with a mixture of salt and lemongrass can lower blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension.  

Hypertension is  a health problem that is commonly found in the elderly. 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. Hypertension can occur due to various factors,  namely: unhealthy diet / diet, smoking lifestyle and alcohol consumption, obesity or excessive weight, lack of  exercise / physical activity, excessive salt intake, consumption of saturated fat, use of estrogen, lack of fruit and vegetable intake. Efforts to overcome hypertension can be done with pharmacological  and non-pharmacological therapies  .  Non-pharmacological therapies  can be done by modifying lifestyle, complementary therapies  such as; hydrotherapy (foot bath) and physical exercise. In the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) warm water foot soak is one of the interventions of nursing diagnosis, namely peripheral tissue perfusion disorders. Descriptive research using case study design. There was a decrease in  blood pressure in  hypertensive elderly after  hydrotherapy soaked feet warm water. There are differences in  the development of lowering blood  pressure in  hypertensive elderly before and after  hydrotherapy soak feet warm water.    

Factors that cause hypertension are age, gender, family history, genetics (risk factors that cannot be changed/controlled), smoking habits, obesity, lack of physical activity, stress, use of estrogen and one of the factors that can cause hypertension is salt consumption patterns. with excessive intake. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of family support with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. The design used in this study is an analytic research design with a descriptive approach. The population in this study were 60 people. The sample in this study were 60 elderly people with hypertension. Data analysis using univariate analysis. And the data is presented in the form of tables and narratives. The results of the study showed that the family support of elderly respondents who was most commonly found in this study was in the negative category, totaling 46 people. In the degree of hypertension, the elderly respondents who were most commonly found in this study were in the category 1 hypertension category, namely 19 people. It was concluded that the most negative family support with the degree of hypertension found in this study was the category 1 hypertension.
