Gymnastic of foot is activity or practice for the patient for the patient with diabetes mellitus to prevent the injury and for the blood circulation on foot (Suryadi, 2004). The objective of foot gymnastic is to improve the blood circulation on the foot of patient with diabetes mellitus for the circulation of nutrition on the organ (Tara, 2003). Sensitivity of foot is sensitivity on the lower extremity. This research applies pretest-posttest design in wich this research was conducted by do the initial observation (ptetest) before the intervention. After the intervention, the observation is conducted from the observation sheet. The resulth of research before the intervention of foot gymnastic indicates that the less sensitivity is 15 respondents (50%), medium sensitivity is 8 respondents (26,7%), good sensitivity for 7 respondent (23,3%) and after the intervention of foot sensitivity, the medium sensitivity to be 18 respondent (78,3%), good sensitivity for 5 respondents (21,7%). The result of statistical test has a significant result to the increasing of sensitivity of foot where p = 0,00 with the average value of increasing is 0,67.
Hipertensi atau tekanan darah tinggi adalah suatu kondisi tekanan darah seseorang berada diatas angkanormal yang ditandai dengan peningkatan tekanan darah sistol diatas 140 mmHg dan diastole diatas 90mmHg.Prevalensi angka kejadian hipertensi di dunia cukup tinggi yaitu 10% dari populasi dunia, sedangkandi Indonesia sebesar 6-15% dari jumlah penduduk Indonesia.Dan prevalensi yang menderita hipertensi diUPT Pelayanan Sosial Lanjut Usia dan Anak Balita Wilayah Binjai dan Medan sebanyak 105 orang(65,6%). Faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya hipertensi yaitu faktor genetik, riwayat merokok terdahulu dankurangnya olahraga. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Deskriptif dengan desain cross sectional yangdisajikan dalam bentuk tabel distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada 51 Lansia di UPTPelayanan Sosial Lanjut Usia dan Anak Balita Wilayah Binjai dan Medan yang diambil secara RandomSampling. Mayoritas Lansia yang menderita Hipertensi mempunyai riwayat Hipertensi pada anggotakeluarganya sebanyak 29 orang (56,9%), dan riwayat merokok sebanyak 24 orang (47,1%), yang memilikikebiasaan olahraga sebanyak 35 oran (68,6%).

The objective of this research was to determine the influence of lavender aromatherapy on decreasing blood pressure in hypertension patients. The research employed quantitative method with quasi experiment design. The samples were 32 patients either in the treatment group or in the non-treatment group. They were selected by consecutive sampling technique. The result of the research showed that the decrease in systolic and diastolic<strong> </strong>blood pressure of the treatment group was 9.7299 mmHg and 4.3237 mmHg while without treatment was 7.0461 mmHg and 3.51152 mmHg. Paired t-test resulted the probability value of systolic blood pressure was α (0.000) <0.05, the probability of diastolic blood pressure was α (0.000) <0.05. It could be concluded that there was the influence of lavender aromatherapy on the decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Inhalation with lavender aromatherapy method can become one of the considerations in nursing intervention to decrease blood pressure in hypertension patients. It can be an alternative of therapy complement besides medication.
Near forest village residents was one of the main forest share holders. So, they should be involved in various forest conservation efforts.
