Description
Introduction: Hypertension is a blood pressure disease affecting physical
and psychological changes. This study aims to determine the effect of
acupressure therapy on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients
in the working area of Public Health Centre (Puskesmas) II Negara.
Methods: This study used a Pre-Experimental One Group Pretest Posttest
Design. The sample of this study was 30 people with hypertension using a
purposive sampling technique. The intervention was given by acupressure
therapy at 7 meridian points (points ST 9, PC 6, ST 36, LI 4, DU 16, GB 20,
and GB 21). The effect of acupressure therapy on blood pressure was
analyzed using the Wilcoxon test because the data were not normally
distributed.
Results: The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (α <0.05), thus
indicating the effect of acupressure therapy on blood pressure in
hypertensive patients in the working area of Public Health Centre II.
Conclusion: Complementary acupressure therapy on seven meridian points
can be an alternative therapy for hypertension sufferers.
