PENERAPAN MASASE TEKNIK EFFLEURAGE TERHADAP TEKANAN DARAH PADA PENDERITA HIPERTENSI

ABSTRAK
Hipertensi yang sering dijuluki sebagai "the silent killer", merupakan kondisi tekanan darah sistolik 140 mmHg dan diastolik 90 mmHg yang menetap. Di Indonesia, prevalensi hipertensi mencapai 30,8% dan menjadi faktor risiko utama komplikasi serius seperti stroke dan gagal jantung. Masase teknik effleurage adalah terapi non-farmakologi berupa usapan lembut berirama yang bertujuan merangsang sistem saraf parasimpatis untuk menurunkan tekanan darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah intervensi, serta pengaruh penerapan masase teknik effleurage terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi berdasarkan studi literatur. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur naratif. Sumber data diperoleh melalui pencarian artikel ilmiah pada basis data Google Scholar dan Chrome dalam rentang tahun 2021-2025. Terdapat 5 artikel prioritas yang dianalisis yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi teks lengkap (full text). Hasil analisis dari berbagai literatur menunjukkan bahwa pemberian masase teknik effleurage secara rutin (durasi 15-20 menit) efektif menurunkan tekanan darah. Berdasarkan beberapa studi yang diulas, terdapat penurunan rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik berkisar antara 13,27 mmHg hingga 19,4 mmHg, dan diastolik antara 6,4 mmHg hingga 9,8 mmHg. Teknik ini memberikan efek relaksasi otot dan saraf yang signifikan (p-value < 0,05). Masase teknik effleurage efektif dalam menurunkan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi dan dapat digunakan sebagai terapi pendamping non-farmakologi yang aman dan mudah dilakukan.

THE APPLICATION OF EFFLEURAGE MASSAGE TECHNIQUE ON BLOOD PRESSURE IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION

ABSTRACT

Hypertension often dubbed as "the silent killer," is a condition where systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg and diastolic is 90 mmHg persistently. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reaches 30.8% and serves as a major risk factor for serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. Effleurage massage technique is a non-pharmacological therapy involving rhythmic gentle strokes aimed at stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to lower blood pressure. This study aims to describe blood pressure levels before and after intervention, and to determine the effect of applying effleurage massage technique on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients based on a literature review. This research uses a narrative literature study method. Data sources were obtained through scientific article searches on Google Scholar and Chrome databases within the 2021-2025 timeframe. Five priority articles were analyzed, meeting the full-text inclusion criteria. Analysis from various literatures shows that regular effleurage massage (15-20 minutes duration) effectively lowers blood pressure. Based on the reviewed studies, there was an average decrease in systolic blood pressure ranging from 13.27 mmHg to 19.4 mmHg, and diastolic between 6.4 mmHg and 9.8 mmHg. This technique provides significant muscle and nerve relaxation effects (p-value < 0.05). Effleurage massage technique is effective in lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients and can be used as a safe and easy-to-perform complementary non-pharmacological therapy.
