Lansia merupakan kelompok yang beresiko tinggi terhadap permasalahan kardiovaskular salah satunya adalah hipertensi. Begitu juga di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin dimana pada tahun 2021 tercatat sebanyak 5.511 kasus hipertensi dan angka ini merupakan angka tertinggi di Kota Jambi. Selain secara farmakologis, pengendalian tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi juga dapat dilakukan secara non farmakologis, salah satunya adalah dengan melakukan tehnik relaksasi otot progresif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengeruh tehnik relaksasi otot progresif terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada lansia dengan hipertensi di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin Kota Jambi. Jenis penelitian ini quasi experiment dengan pendekatan one group pre test post test design yang telah dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2022 dengan populasi seluruh lansia penderita hipertensi yang ada di Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin yaitu sebanyak 272 orang. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan besaran sampel sebanyak 20 responden. Pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi tekanan darah. Analisis data meliputi analisis univariat dan analisa bivariat.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rata-rata tekanan darah responden antara sebelum (155,05/94,75 mmHg) dengan sesudah (139/84,25 mmHg) dimana terjadi penurunan rata-rata tekanan darah dengan beda rata-rata 16,05/10,5 mmHg dan nilai p = 0,000/0,000. Disimpulkan bahwa pemberian teknik relaksasi otot progresif berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada lansia hipertensi. Maka dari itu diharapkan kepada lansia hipertensi untuk dapat melakukan teknik relaksasi otot progresif sebagai salah satu upaya pengendalian tekanan darah.

Elderly is a high-risk group for cardiovascular problems. One of them is hypertension. In Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center work area in 2021 there were 5,511 cases of hypertension recorded and this figure was the highest in Jambi. Not only by using the pharmacological, blood pressure control in hypertensive patients can also be carried out non-pharmacologically, one of which is by doing progressive muscle relaxation techniques. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension in Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center, Jambi. The type of research was quasi-experimental with a one group pre test post test design approach which was carried out on October 2022 with a population of all elderly people with hypertension at Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center. They were 272 people. By using purposive sampling technique, 20 respondents were chosen as the samples. The data were collected through blood pressure observation sheets. Then, it was analyzed by univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results showed that there was a difference in the average blood pressure of the respondents between before (155.05/94.75 mmHg) and after (139/84.25 mmHg) where there was a decrease in the average blood pressure blood with an average difference of 16.05/10.5 mmHg and a value of p = 0.000/0.000. In short, it can be concluded that progressive muscle relaxation techniques had a significant effect on reducing blood pressure in elderly hypertensives. Therefore, it is expected that the elderly with hypertension can do progressive muscle relaxation techniques as an effort to control blood pressure.
