Hypertension is a silent killer is the most common health problem experienced by the elderly. Control of hypertension in the elderly is very necessary to reduce complications of hypertension. Based on these conditions, the MERONA Program was developed. The purpose is to provide an overview of the implementation of the blush program in the elderly with hypertension. The method used is a family case study and an aggregate using a family and community nursing process approach involving 10 foster families and 60 elderly people in the community selected using cluster random sampling. This program is an integration of hypertension self-management and relaxation therapy, namely music therapy, progressive muscle relaxation, and deep breathing relaxation which is carried out for 12 weeks. Evaluation of changes in behavior and family independence was carried out at the end of the 12th week using a questionnaire. Blood pressure measurements were carried out at weeks 4, 8, and 12. The results of the implementation were an increase in the behavior of the elderly, an increase in the level of family independence, and a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05). The MERONA program is recommended to be applied in community health services.

AbstractHypertension is a non-communicable disease and is the most consistent risk factor for stroke.Most people with hypertension do not know that they suffer from hypertension so they do not get good treatment. Handling hypertension can be done pharmacological and non-pharmacological.One of the non-pharmacological treatments to reduce high blood pressure is progressive muscle relaxation therapy. The subjects in this case study were two patients who had high blood pressure.This study aims to apply progressive muscle relaxation therapy and its effect on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients.The research design is a case study on 2 hypertensive patients. The intervention is by applying progressive muscle relaxation for 3 consecutive days with one relaxation time of 15-30 minutes.The results show that Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy can decreases in blood pressure and pain scale in both patients.Accordance with this, nurses are suggested to apply Progressive Muscle Relaxation as a non-pharmacologic intervention to decrease blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Keywords: Hypertension; pain; progressive muscle relaxation AbstrakHipertensi merupakan salah satu penyakit yang tidak menular dan merupakan faktor resiko yang paling konsisten pemicu stroke.Sebagian besar penderita Hipertensi tidak mengetahui bahwa dirinya menderita Hipertensi sehingga tidak mendapatkan penanganan dengan baik. Penanganan hipertensi ini dapat dilakukan secara farmakologi maupun non farmakologi.Salah satu penanganan nonfarmakologi untuk menurunkan tekanan darah tinggi adalah terapi relaaksasi otot progresif.Subyek dalam studi kasus ini adalah dua pasien yang mengalami tekanan darah tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengaplikasikan terapi relaksasi otot progresif dan pengaruhnya terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada pasien hipertensi. Desain penelitian berupa studi kasus pada 2 pasien hipertensi.Intervensi dengan ngaplikasikan relaksasi otot progresif selama 3 hari berturut-turut dengan sekali relaksasi 15-30 menit. Hasil yang didapatkan pada pasien I maupun II mengalami penurunan tekanan darah dan skala nyeri. Kesimpulan dari studi kasus ini bahwa relaksasi otot progresif dapat menurunkan tekanan darah dan skala nyeri pada kedua pasien. Saran bagi perawat diharapkan dapat menerapkan relaksasi otot progresif sebagai tindakan nonfarmakoogi untuk menurunkan tekanan darah pada pasien hipertensi.Kata kunci: Hipertensi; nyeri; relaksasi otot progresif

Abstract The main problem in various countries related to health is heart disease and blood vessels. Hypnosis is one of the first triggers in the world annually. The number of people with hypertension continues to increase every year. It is estimated that in 2025 there will be 1.5 billion people who suffer from hypertension, and it is predicted that 10.44 million people die annually due to hypertension and its complications. Management of hypertension can be done from the knowledge of the elderly about hypertension and hypertension diet regulation. Activities that have been carried out include providing health education related to hypertension, blood pressure checks, being taught progressive muscle relaxation techniques, and being given an understanding of making cucumber juice and starfruit to control hypertension. The purpose of this activity is expected to be an increase in awareness, knowledge, and behavior of the elderly in a healthy life regarding hypertension so that the elderly realizes the importance of maintaining blood pressure experienced at this time. Community service activities in Kromasan Village, NgunutTulungagungSubdistrict were carried out in September 2019. Of the 110 elderly people present, 41 elderly people were found with blood pressure above normal (140-90 mmHg). It can be said that the prevalence of hypertension is only 37.3%, because other elderly people have been controlled by using anti-hypertensive drugs given from the Ngunut Health Center. Abstrak Masalah utama di berbagai negara yang berkaitan dengan kesehatan adalah penyakit jantung dan pembuluh darah. Hipetensi merupakan salah satu pemicu pertama di dunia per tahunya. Angka penderita hipertensi terus mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunya. Diperkirakan pada tahun 2025 akan ada 1,5 Miliar orang yang menderita hipertensi, dan diprediksi per tahunnya 10,44 juta orang meninggal yang disebabkan karena hipertensi dan komplikasinya. Manajemen hipertensi dapat dilakukan dari pengetahuan lansia mengenai hipertensi serta pengaturan diet hipertensi. Kegiatan yang telah dilakukan yaitu memberikan pendidikan kesehatan terkait penyakit hipertensi, pemeriksaan tekanan darah, tehnik relaksasi otot progresif, dan diberi pemahaman tentang pembuatan jus timun dan belimbing untuk mengontrol hipertensi. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini diharapakan ada peningkatan kesadaran, pengetahuan, maupun perilaku lansia sehingga menyadari pentingnya menjaga tekanan darah yang dialami saat ini. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada bulan September 2019. Dari110 lansia yang hadir, ditemukan 41orang lansia dengan tekanan darah diatas normal (140 90mmHg).
