ABSTRAK

Hipertensi merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan global yang dikenal sebagai "silent killer" karena sering tidak disadari oleh penderitanya hingga menimbulkan komplikasi serius. Di Provinsi Jambi, prevalensi hipertensi masih tinggi dengan peningkatan signifikan jumlah pasien di Rumah Sakit Dr. Bratanata Jambi, khususnya di Ruang Kirana. Upaya pengendalian hipertensi tidak hanya melalui terapi farmakologis tetapi juga intervensi nonfarmakologis, salah satunya slow deep breathing exercise yang berfungsi menurunkan tekanan darah melalui mekanisme relaksasi pernapasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh slow deep breathing exercise terhadap kemampuan pasien hipertensi dalam mengontrol tekanan darah di Ruang Kirana Rumah Sakit Dr. Bratanata Jambi tahun 2025. Penelitian dilakukan pada JanuariAgustus 2025 dengan desain quasi eksperimen jenis one group pre-test post-test menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel 10 responden. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar observasi kemampuan melakukan slow deep breathing exercise dengan analisis univariat dan bivariat melalui uji paired sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata kemampuan pasien sebelum perlakuan sebesar 4,6 dan meningkat menjadi 5,5 sesudah perlakuan, dengan nilai p = 0,000 (p < 0,05) yang berarti terdapat pengaruh signifikan slow deep breathing exercise terhadap kemampuan pasien dalam mengontrol tekanan darah. Disarankan agar rumah sakit dan perawat menjadikan latihan pernapasan ini sebagai intervensi rutin, penderita hipertensi melakukannya secara mandiri dan teratur, serta penelitian selanjutnya menambahkan variabel lain untuk hasil yang lebih komprehensif.

ABSTRACT

Hypertension is one of the major global health problems known as a "silent killer" because it often goes unnoticed by patients until it causes serious complications. In Jambi Province, the prevalence of hypertension remains high with a significant increase in the number of patients at Dr. Bratanata Hospital, particularly in the Kirana Ward. Hypertension management is not only carried out through pharmacological therapy but also through non-pharmacological interventions, one of which is slow deep breathing exercise, which functions to lower blood pressure through a relaxation breathing mechanism. This study aimed to determine the effect of slow deep breathing exercise on the ability of hypertensive patients to control blood pressure in the Kirana Ward of Dr. Bratanata Hospital Jambi in 2025. The research was conducted from January to August 2025 using a quasi-experimental design with a one group pre-test post-test approach. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with a total of 10 respondents. The research instrument was an observation sheet assessing the ability to perform slow deep breathing exercises. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the paired sample t-test. The results showed that the mean ability score before treatment was 4.6, which increased to 5.5 after treatment, with a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of slow deep breathing exercise on the ability of patients to control blood pressure. It is recommended that hospitals and nurses implement this breathing exercise as a routine intervention, hypertensive patients practice it independently and regularly, and further studies include additional variables for more comprehensive results
