Abstract

Hipertensi merupakan masalah kesehatan yang saat ini memiliki prevalensi tinggi dan berisiko menyebabkan komplikasi serius. Kondisi ini membutuhkan intervensi yang efektif untuk mengendalikan tekanan darah dan mencegah komplikasi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas dari kombinasi latihan isometric handgrip dan aromaterapi lemon terhadap penurunan tekanan darah lansia dengan hipertensi. Studi ini menggunakan desain studi kasus dengan pendekatan pretest-posttest terhadap satu pasien lanjut usia hipertensi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pengukuran tekanan darah menggunakan tensimeter digital sebelum dan sesudah pemberian kombinasi latihan isometric handgrip dan aromaterapi lemon selama 14 hari. Proses analisis dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan membandingkan perubahan tekanan darah pre dan post intervensi. Hasil menunjukkan kecenderungan penurunan tekanan darah dari 259/123 mmHg menjadi 188/113 mmHg setelah 14 hari intervensi, meskipun perubahannya bersifat fluktuatif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi dari latihan isometric handgrip dan aromaterapi lemon berpotensi sebagai terapi pendukung yang dapat diimplementasikan dengan mudah oleh perawat komunitas dalam pengendalian tekanan darah pada lansia hipertensi
