- Abstract
Hypertension is a state of increased systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic more than equal to 90 mmHg. West Java became the second province with the highest sufferers in Indonesia. Progressive muscle relaxation therapy and meditation relaxation therapy is one way of non-pharmacological therapy to stabilize blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and relaxation meditation therapy to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension in, Sindangagung, Kuningan Regency. This study uses a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest group with control group comparison design. The sample in this study amounted to 30 people using purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used observation sheets. Data analysis consisted of univariate analysis and bivariate analysis, using paired sample t test and independent sample t test. The results showed there were differences in systolic and diastolic before and after progressive muscle relaxation therapy (0,000) and meditation relaxation therapy (0.002). Further analysis showed that there was no difference between systolic and diastolic after progressive muscle relaxation therapy and meditation relaxation therapy with systolic p value 0.929 (p> 0.05) and diastolic p value 0.071 (p> 0.05). Both progressive muscle relaxation therapy and meditation relaxation both have the same effectiveness in lowering blood pressure. This therapy can be used as an appropriate non-pharmacological therapy in reducing blood pressure in people with hypertension.
