Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure in the walls of the arteries. Hypertension is treated in two ways: pharmacological and non-pharmacological.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy in reducing blood pressure in the elderly at the Tresna Werdha Lampung Elderly Social Services Unit (UPTD) in 2024.
Method: Quantitative research, with a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest approach. The population in this study was all 33 elderly respondents with hypertension. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The average systolic blood pressure after mindfulness therapy was 128, with a minimum value of 120 and a maximum of 145. Meanwhile, the average diastolic blood pressure after mindfulness therapy was 82.666, with a minimum value of 80 and a maximum value of 90.
Results: Based on the Independent Sample T-Test, the significance value for the control group was 0.000, while the significance value for the intervention group was 0.000, or a significance value <0.05.
Conclusion: Mindfulness therapy has an effect on blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension at the UPTD PSLU Tresna Werdha, Natar District, South Lampung Regency in 2024. Keywords: Mindfulness Therapy; Blood Pressure Reduction; Hypertension. Pendahuluan: Hipertensi adalah kondisi kronis yang ditandai dengan terjadinya peningkatan tekanan darah di dinding pembuluh darah arteri. Pengobatan hipertensi dilakukan dengan dua cara yaitu pengobatan secara farmakologis dan pengobatan non farmakologis. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui efektivitas terapi mindfulness terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada lansia di UPTD Pelayanan Sosial Lanjut Usia Tresna Werdha Lampung tahun 2024 Metode: Penelitian Kuantitatif dengan desain atau rancangan penelitian Quasi Eksperimen dengan pendekatan Non-equivalent Control Group Pretest –Posttest. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh lansia yang mengalami hipertensi berjumlah 33 responden. Teknik sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Total Sampling. Diketahui bahwa rata-rata (mean) tekanan darah sistolik sesudah diberikan terapi mindfulness adalah 128 dengan nilai minimal 120 dan maksimal 145. Sedangkan rata-rata (mean) tekanan darah diastolik sesudah diberikan terapi mindfulness adalah 82.666 dengan nilai minimal 80 dan maksimal 90. Hasil: Berdasarkan Uji Independent Sample T-Test didapatkan kelompok kontrol nilai signifikansi sebesar 0.000, kemudian pada kelompok intervensi nilai signifikansi sebesar 0.000 atau nilai signifikan < 0.05. Simpulan: Terdapat pengaruh pemberian terapi mindfulness terhadap tekanan darah pada lansia dengan hipertensi. Kata Kunci: Terapi Mindfulness; Penurunan Tekanan Darah; Hipertensi.
