Evidance Based Practice Penerapan Senam Hipertensi terhadap Penurunan Tekanan Darah Tinggi

Abstract

Hypertension is a “silent killer,” with 1 in 3 people with hypertension in Indonesia unaware that they are suffering from it. This persistent increase in blood pressure is positively correlated with a higher risk of developing heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. Regular and routine check-ups are necessary so that hypertension can be detected early, allowing for early management and thus preventing complications as well as disability and death. By conducting early detection and checking blood pressure every month, it is expected that complications due to hypertension can be prevented and controlled. Hypertension treatment can be carried out in two ways, namely pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, in this case low-impact aerobic exercise. Low-impact aerobic exercise for hypertension is beneficial for improving and maintaining the health and endurance of the heart, lungs, blood circulation, muscles, and joints. The purpose of this scientific paper is to implement Hypertension Exercise to reduce blood pressure in Mr. B.R in Kauneran Village, Sonder District. The results of the study, using evidence-based nursing with Hypertension Exercise performed for 3 days, showed that Hypertension Exercise was effective in lowering Mr. B.R’s blood pressure. The conclusion of this scientific paper is that there was a decrease in blood pressure in Mr. B.R with hypertension after being given low-impact aerobic exercise. Suggestion all healthcare workers are advised to provide interventions and education on Hypertension Exercise for clients suffering from hypertension.
