- Abstract
Background: Smoking plays a role in hypertension. Smoking consumption in Indonesia was the highest among ASEAN countries in 2017. It is estimated that new smokers aged 19 and under are about 16.4 million. Increased blood pressure is influenced by several factors, one of the factors is smoking. Blood pressure differences occur since cigarettes contain nicotine and monoxide sucked into the bloodstream, damaging the endothelium arteries, lead the process of atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. Objective: To find out the comparison of the blood pressure between the smokers and non-smokers hypertension patients. Methods: The method of this research was a descriptive comparative study. A digital sphygmomanometer and master table are used as the research instruments. The sample was obtained by using total sampling with sample size of 64 respondents. The data were analyzed by the independent sample t-test. The results of this study showed that the difference between the systolic blood pressure mean in smokers and nonsmokers hypertension patients was 18.0807 ± 12.96145 mmHg. The difference of the diastolic blood pressure mean in smokers and non-smokers hypertension patients was 9.0669 ± 4.55327 mmHg (p = 0.045 <0.05 and 0.014 <0.05). Conclusion: There was a difference in blood pressure between the smokers and non smokers hypertension patients in UPT Puskesmas II Sumbang working area (p-value <0.05).
