Management of overcoming<br>hypertension include two types of management, they are pharmacological and nonpharmacological<br>management.<br>One<br>of<br>non-pharmacological<br>management<br>is<br>a<br>warm<br>water<br>therapy.</p><p>Warm</p><p>water therapy is useful in reducing muscle contractions that can lead to a relaxed feelling<br>and reduce hypertension. The purpose of this research was to know the difference in blood<br>pressure before and after the warm water therapy in patients with hypertension at tambaksari,<br>kembaran. this research used pre experiment method with one group pre-test and post-test design.<br>Research instrument used were sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, thermometer and observation<br>sheet. Population and sample in this research were members of elderly posyandu with hypertension<br>at Tambaksari. The sampling technique used in this research was Simple Random Sampling.<br>Statistical test used was paired t-test with α value was 5%. The results showed that before being<br>given a warm water therapy systolic blood pressure average was of 170 mmHg and diastolic was<br>90,36 mmHg. The result after bing given warm water therapy systolic blood pressure average was<br>155,36 mmHg and diastolic one was 84,64 mmHg. The average decline of systolic blood pressure<br>was 14, 643 mmHg and 5,714 mmHg of diastolic one. It showed there is a significant difference of<br>systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after being given warm water therapy. The<br>conclusion of this research that there is the differences in blood pressure before and after being<br>given the warm water therapy in patient (ρ=0,000).</p><p><br> <br>Keywords: warm water therapy, elderly, hypertension</p> ER -
