- Abstract
Hypertension is a health problem in the community and requires specific care attention. The disease has an impact on reducing the quality of life and can be life threatening if not treated early. One of the non-pharmacological interventions of hypertension is Slow-Deep Breathing exercise and isometric hand grips. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Slow-Deep Breathing and isometric hand grips exercise on blood pressure for patients with hypertension. Pre - experiment with one group pretest post-test design was used in this study. Forty respondents were selected using purposive sampling done in Kembaran I Public Health Center working area. Data collected were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test. The result showed that the statistics analysis of p value of systolic and diastolic pressure is < 0,005. There are changes in systolic blood pressure (p value = 0,005) and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0,018). The Wilcoxon analysis showed a decrease in systolic blood pressure (p value = 0,001) and diastolic blood pressure (p value = 0,016). It can be concluded that slow-deep breathing and isometric hand grip exercise are effective in lowering blood pressure of patient with hypertension
