Description
Introduction: Hypertension is understood as the silent killer as it
frequently appears without symptoms and is a major cause of
cardiovascular disease. The elderly is a group who is vulnerable to being
diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Cupping therapy is a popular
alternative treatment option performed by the community. Over time, it
encourages nurses to entirely evidence the benefits of cupping therapy.
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of cupping therapy on
reducing blood pressure in the elderly.
Methods: This research was conducted by employing a method in the form
of a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest. Researchers
examined blood pressure before cupping therapy and calculated it again
30 minutes after cupping therapy. The sample administered was 15 elderly
patients with cupping at Al Ghaffar Care, Bone Regency, which were
selected by administering purposive sampling technique.
Results: After conducting statistical analysis by employing the paired
sample T-test, the systolic pressure was obtained a significant value (p
0.001 < 0.05) with an average decrease in systolic pressure of 5.133 mmHg
and a significant diastolic pressure was acquired (p 1,000 > 0.05). The
results signify that there is an effect between a decrease in systolic
pressure but no effect on diastolic pressure before and after cupping
therapy.
Conclusion: In order to allow for a reduction in the dose of antihypertensive
medications administered and lower the danger of drug dependence,
cupping therapy can be thought of as an alternative therapy and adjunct
therapy in patients with high blood pressure.
