Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a major cause of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular complications. In addition to pharmacological therapy, safe and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological interventions are needed to help control blood pressure. This study aims to analyze the application of a combination of mindfulness breathing and isometric handgrip therapy on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. The study used a descriptive case study method with a nursing care approach. The study population was hypertensive patients undergoing treatment in the Inpatient Room B of RSI Tunas Harapan Salatiga, with a sample of two patients selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation using a nursing assessment format, observation sheets, a sphygmomanometer, and a handgrip device. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing changes in blood pressure before and after the intervention. The results showed that there was a decrease in blood pressure in both patients. At the end of the intervention, Mr. K's blood pressure decreased from 160/100 mmHg to 135/82 mmHg, while Mrs. Blood pressure decreased from 168/107 mmHg to 136/84 mmHg. Furthermore, there were improvements in headaches, anxiety, peripheral perfusion, activity tolerance, and patient knowledge regarding hypertension management. The study concluded that the combination of mindfulness breathing and isometric handgrip therapy has the potential to be an effective non-pharmacological intervention to help lower blood pressure and support the physical and psychological improvement of hypertensive patients.
