Abstract


Background: Hypertension is a condition when a person has an increase in blood pressure above normal with a systolic pressure above 140 mmHg and a diastolic pressure above 90mmHg. Hypertension is a Silent Killer, therefore efforts are needed to reduce blood pressure, namely by non-pharmacological "Hydrotherapy" which can increase capillary permeability so it is very useful for blood pressure reduction therapy. Purpose: To apply hydrotherapy to the elderly with hypertension in Gunungpati. Method: descriptive method with a case approach to elderly people with hypertension from 3 August to 8 August 2020. The elderly with inclusion criteria: suffer from hypertension, do not take drugs, do not have comorbidities and are willing to become respondents.

Hydrotherapy procedures (warm water with a temperature of 37.5-40˚ C), soaked feet up to 15 cm above the ankles, hydrotherapy is carried out 6 times for 6 consecutive days with a time of 15 minutes in the afternoon at 16.00 WIB. Results: The average blood pressure before intervention was 155-160 mmHg / 100 mmHg and the blood pressure after intervention was 80-90 mmHg.
