This research aimed to analyze the practices in active methodologies used in health education for the elderly. The sample search was carried out in the LILACS, SciELO, CAPES journals and Google Scholar search databases. Seven articles were selected and their analysis resulted in the categories “the use of active methodologies for teaching health to the elderly” and “the use of the main active methodologies in the training of academics, professionals and caregivers”. Current social demands require teaching methodologies that enable critical, reflective and problematizing training. The need for more research on this topic is suggested, both in the academic sphere and in other teaching contexts, such as health and permanent education.

AbstractSpiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) is a relaxation technique which is a form of mind-body-therapy from complementary and alternative therapies. SEFT works by activating the body's meridian pathways by light tapping on 9 or 18 meridian points of the body, with the mind and heart concentrating on the place and the pain that we feel accompanied by prayer. The study aimed to examine the effect of SEFT therapy on blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. The study applied a literature review. By using the keywords "SEFT, Hypertension, Elderly" the articles were searched from GARUDA and Google Scholar databases. The articles that published in period of 2011 to 2021 and fit with the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed. The quality of articles was assessed using CONSORT checklist. The results show that the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure before SEFT therapy was 163 mmHg and 93 mmHg, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure after SEFT therapy was 154 mmHg and 88 mmHg, respectively. There is a significant effect of SEFT therapy on reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. SEFT therapy is effective and can be applied as a complementary therapy in reducing blood pressure in the elderly. Based on the results, SEFT therapy can be socialized to the wider community and can be applied as an alternative therapy to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Keywords: Elderly, Hypertension, SEFT AbstrakSpiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) merupakan teknik relaksasi yang merupakan salah satu bentuk mind-body-therapy dari terapi komplementer dan terapi alternatif.
