Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a common non-communicable disease that can lead to serious complications such as stroke and heart disease. Blood pressure control can be managed through pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, one of which is progressive muscle relaxation therapy. Objective: To determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on blood pressure among adult hypertensive patients at Posbindu, Kenteng Village. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest– posttest approach. A total of 62 respondents were selected using total sampling. The intervention group received progressive muscle relaxation therapy for one week, while the control group did not. Data were collected using a blood pressure observation sheet and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk and Wilcoxon tests. Results: In the intervention group, the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 160 mmHg to 135 mmHg (p < 0.001), and diastolic from 98 mmHg to 88 mmHg (p < 0.001). In the control group, the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 152 mmHg to 148 mmHg (p < 0.001), and diastolic from 96 mmHg to 93 mmHg (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is effective in reducing blood pressure among adult hypertensive patients. Recommendation: This therapy is recommended as a non-pharmacological treatment option for hypertensive patients, and future studies are suggested to include additional variables and a larger sample for more comprehensive findings
