The Effectiveness of Deep Breathing and Slow Stroke Back Massage to Decrease the Blood Pressure on a Patient With Hypertension

Abstract

Introduction: Many patients with hypertension have not got the proper treatment in controlling blood pressure (BP). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of deep breathing (DB) and slow-stroke back massage (SSBM) in BP reduction to patients with hypertension. Method: The design was a True Experiment the Solomon Three-Group Design. Sampling technique was group randomized plan as many as 60 people. The treatment given was BP and SSBM. Blood pressure data retrieval used mercury spigmomanometer. Results: The results were ρ of BP values (systolic) was 0,000, while the value of ρ (diastolic) was 0,000. The value ρ of SSBM (systolic) was 0.000 while the value of ρ (diastolic) was 0.001. The statistical results of the effectiveness BP systolic reduction was the significant difference in both interventions with a control group with ρ = 0.000 and the most effective was the DB compare to SSBM with ρ = 0.05 (4.0 mmHg). While there are differences in BP diastolic reduction significantly in both interventions with the control group with ρ = 0.000 and the most effective was DB than SSBM with ρ = 0.01 (6.6 mmHg). Discussion: It can be concluded DB and SSBM are effective to lower BP (systolic mean difference of 9.3 mm Hg of DB and SSBM 5.3 mmHg, while diastolic mean DB 11.2 mmHg and SSBM.

The Effectiveness of Audio-Visual Education on Lactation Management and Chocking in Mother with Baby in Pandemic Time Covid-19

“…The steps that are not taken by the mother are that the baby is not stimulated to open the mouth by touching the cheek with the nipple after the baby is fed, the suction is not released in the right way, namely by inserting the mother's little finger into the baby's mouth, after breastfeeding, milk The mother did not remove a little which was then smeared on the nipple and areola, and the mother also did not check the condition of the breast for injuries or cracks after breastfeeding. In breastfeeding techniques with steps that are not taken by the mother, the mother may have become accustomed to not doing it because the breastfeeding time is not right, and the baby often cries 20,21,30,31,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] . The steps taken in part are that the mother does not wash her hands before the act of breastfeeding, the mother does not sit or lie down casually, the baby's head is not in the arch of the mother's elbow and sometimes the baby's head looks up, the baby's stomach is not attached to the mother's stomach, the mother only turns her head babies, the mother only holds the nipple or areola without supporting the entire breast, the baby is not stimulated to open his mouth when breastfeeding, most areola does not enter the baby's mouth, only the nipple, after breastfeeding the mother also does not release the baby's suction using the little finger, the mother does not burp the baby in the right way and the mother does not check the condition of the breast after breastfeeding.…”

The Effect Of Breathing Relaxation And Lavender Aromatherapy On Insomnia In The Elderly

“…Furthermore, CRF induces the pituitary gland to produce more Pro Opioid Melanocortin (POMC), which causes the adrenal medulla to produce more enkephalin. Endorphins are a neurotransmitter produced by the pituitary gland that affects the mood to relax (Suwardianto, 2014).…”

Assessment Of Afasia in Stroke Patients: Case Study

“…The repetition of a single word is still good even if done with a variety of efforts. Repetition of bad sentences, especially sentences containing short words (such as: if, not, and, or, but (Dronkers, 2010;Yusiana & Suwardianto, 2014;Suwardianto & Richard, 2017;Weiner, 2000) Lesions in the posterior temporal gyrus of the auditory association cortex (area 22) or gyrus supramarginalis (area 40). Symptoms are that language comprehension will be interrupted and lose the ability to repeat the words spoken by others.…”
