ABSTRAK Hipertensi disebut juga penyakit tekanan darah tinggi merupakan salah satu penyakit yang paling sering muncul di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Nilai tekanan darah sistolik ? 140 mmHg atau diastolik ? 90 mmHg. Prevalensi untuk lansia penderita hipertensi lebih dari 60 tahun diestimasikan lebih dari 60%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan tekanan darah sistole dan diastole lansia penderta hipertensi dengan pemberian pisang ambon di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Harapan Raya. Penelitian ini ekperimen dengan jenis penelitian Quasy Experiment dan menggunakan Nonrandomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada kelompok kontrol 16 orang dan kelompok perlakuan 16 orang.

ABSTRACT Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is one of the most common diseases in developing countries like Indonesia. Systolic blood pressure values ??? 140 mmHg or diastolic ? 90 mmHg. The prevalence for elderly people with hypertension more than 60 years is estimated to be more than 60%. This study aims to determine the differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the elderly with hypertension with the provision of Ambon banana in the work area of ??the Harapan Raya Community Health Center.This research is an experiment with Quasy Experiment and uses the Nonrandomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. This research was conducted in a control group of 16 people and a treatment group of 16 people. The control group was not given Ambon banana and only measured blood pressure and the treatment group was given Ambon banana and measured blood pressure for 7 days. The results showed that there were differences in the average blood pressure before and after giving Ambon banana. From the results of the effectiveness test with Mann Whitney, it can be concluded that giving Ambon banana to the elderly is effective in reducing blood pressure (systolic blood pressure p value 0.000 and diastolic blood pressure p value 0.006).
