Penerapan Terapi Komplementer Akupresure Terhadap Penurunan Tekanan Darah Pada Wanita Menoupause Dengan Hipertensi
Abstract
Hypertension is one of the health problems commonly experienced by menopausal women due to hormonal changes that affect the cardiovascular system. Complementary therapies such as acupressure have been used as a non-pharmacological method to reduce blood pressure by stimulating specific points on the body associated with relaxation and blood circulation. This study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure therapy on reducing blood pressure in menopausal women with hypertension. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest without control group approach. The intervention was carried out for 7 days at the LI11, ST36, and LV3 points for 15 minutes in each session. The results showed a significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after acupressure therapy was administered. In conclusion, acupressure is effective as a complementary therapy to help reduce blood pressure in menopausal women with hypertension
