Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure rises continuously over a long period of time. High blood pressure that is not monitored regularly can lead to serious health problems without proper treatment. One non-pharmacological combination therapy to lower blood pressure is foot soaking in warm water and slow deep breathing, which enlarges blood vessels and relaxes muscles, thereby improving blood flow in the blood vessels. Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of combination therapy involving foot soaking in warm water and slow deep breathing on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Method: The research design is a quasi-experiment. The sampling technique used is total sampling, with a total of 33 respondents, and is not divided into intervention and control groups. Data analysis uses the Paired Sample t-Test to examine before and after treatment. Result: There was a significant difference in blood pressure values after administering a combination therapy of foot soaking in warm water and slow deep breathing (p=0.000). Conclusion: There is an effect of the combination therapy of foot soaking in warm water and slow deep breathing on blood pressure. Recommendation: Combination therapy involving foot soaking in warm water and slow deep breathing can be used as a non-pharmacological combination therapy to lower blood pressure
