The aim of this systematic review is to gain a deeper understanding of complementary therapies to improve sleep quality in the elderly. Method: The design used by systematic review is that the reviewer looks for several articles through an electronic database, namely Scopus and ScienceDirect, the keywords used are "Therapy", "Sleep Quality" and "Elderly". Result: 16 selected articles, research conducted in Taiwan, Brazil, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and Iran found that the most widely used complementary therapy for improving the quality of sleep in the elderly is music therapy.

Hypertension becomes a problem in old age, hypertension affect more than 1 bilion people and 13% of total deaths worldwide. The largest disease of death from noncommunicable diseases (NCD) or non-communicable diseases is caused by cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is often asymptomatic so it becomes the silent killer of death and becomes the main cause of the onset of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease . The purpose of this community service is as an effort to reduce blood pressure for the elderly with hypertension and more importantly, it can reduce the risk of hypertension complications. The method carried out is to do a blood pressure check first, then carry out interventions in the form of asihema therapy (listening to asmaul husna, handgrip relaxation, and inhaling aromatherapy). This community service was carried out for the elderly in Astambul Village, Martapura City in coordination with the Astambul health center. The results of the community service carried out showed that after the intervention of asihema therapy there was a decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, long-term management of asihema therapy can help maintain blood pressure stability in the elderly and prevent the risk of complications.
Latar belakang: Kualitas hidup merupakan aspek penting yang perlu diperhatikan terutama pada kelompok lansia yang memiliki penyakit hipertensi. Hipertensi yang diderita tentunya akan berdampak pada terjadinya keparahan penyakit hipertensi yang diderita. Instrument spesifik terhadap kualitas hidup lansia dengan masalah hipertensi diperlukan sebagai dasar pemberian intervensi keperawatan yang komprehensif kepada lansia. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan uji validitas dan realibilitas instrumen kuesioner pengkajian kualitas hidup lansia hipertensi Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan (Research & Development) dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Validasi instrument dilakukan oleh 10 pakar yang dianggap ahli di bidang keperawatan gerontic. Peneliti melakukan uji validitas berdasarkan penilaian ahli (expert judgement) dan uji reliabilitas instrument kepada 30 orang lansia yang berada di masyarakat. Hasil: Hasil uji validasi dengan pakar didapatkan saran perbaikan terhadap isi pernyataan kuesioner yang dikembangkan, setelah di revisi dan valid menurut pakar, kuesioner dilakukan uji pemahaman bahasa kepada 5 lansia dan diperoleh hasil kuesioner dapat dipahami lansia dengan baik. Hasil Uji reliabilitas menunjukkan dari 41 item pernyataan dari ketiga domain didapatkan sebanyak 20 item pernyataan yang valid dengan nilai alpha Cronbach >0.60. Kesimpulan: Sebanyak 20 item pernyataan yang terdiri dari domain fisik, psikologis dan kemandirian valid dan reliabel sebagai instrument pengkajian untuk lansia hipertensi. Perlunya dilakukan pengembangan instrument kualitas hidup dengan menggabungkan seluruh domain yang ada pada kualitas hidup lansia dengan hipertensi sebagai tools untuk pengkajian kualitas hidup lansia yang menderita hipertensi.
