ABSTRACT

Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases and represents a major concern in both developed and developing countries. It is the most prevalent non-communicable disease in healthcare facilities, with a reported number of 185,857 cases. According to the Ministry of Health in 2018, hypertension is the top non-communicable disease, affecting 185,857 people. In 2022, the Jambi City Health Office reported 7,032 cases of hypertension, with Puskesmas Rawasari accounting for 685 of these cases. This study aims to evaluate the effect of deep breathing relaxation therapy on blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients at the Integrated Service Post for the Elderly at Rawasari Health Center. The research utilized a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A purposive sampling technique was employed, involving 10 respondents. Data collection took place from July 1-7, 2024, with data analysis performed using univariate and bivariate analyses, including the paired sample t-test. The findings revealed a significant effect of deep breathing therapy on both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients at the Integrated Service Post for the Elderly at Rawasari Health Center. It is recommended that the Integrated Service Post continue and expand its deep breathing relaxation program for the elderly, and regularly evaluate and update the techniques to ensure they meet the needs of the elderly population.
