PENGARUH THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE WALKING TERHADAP TEKANAN DARAH KLIEN HIPERTENSI DI DESA SUBO KECAMATAN PAKUSARI KABUPATEN JEMBER

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non communicable diseases become a major cause of death in the hospital. Hypertension need an appropriate treatment, like pharmacological and non pharmacological. One of the non-pharmacological treatment is Therapeutic Exercise Walking. The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of Therapeutic Exercise Walking on blood pressure in hypertensive clients. This research used pre experimental design with one group pretest posttest design in 19 respondents which obtained purposive sampling. The instruments of data collection was done with a sphygmomanometer, stethoscope and observation sheet. The average of systolic blood pressure before therapy is 150 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 3.729, 130 mmHg for minimum value and 170 mmHg for maximum value. The average of systolic blood pressure after therapy 145 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 2.649, 130 mmHg for minimum value and 160 mmHg for maximum value. While the average of diastolic blood pressure before therapy is 95 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 2.408, 80 mmHg for minimum value and 110 mmHg for maximum value. The average of diastolic blood pressure after therapy is 91 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 2.203, 70 mmHg for minimum value and 110 mmHg for maximum value. Based on paired t-test results, there is a significant effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive client before and after therapy with p value=0.000 (systolic) and p value=0.000 (diastolic) where p<α (α=0,05). This suggests that Therapeutic Exercise Walking can lower blood pressure in hypertensive client. So, can be used to non pharmacological management for treating of hypertension.
