  Hypertension often results in dangerous conditions that are often not realized and often do not cause complaints. Hypertension is also often referred to as the silent kiler because it is a deadly disease. Even hypertension can lead to other deadly diseases and can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. The research design used Quasi Experiment with Non Equivalent Control Group design with pre-postest control one group design. The research was conducted in the working area of ​​the Dlanggu Health Center on September 2020. The population in this study were all hypertension sufferers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling of 60 people. The instrument used was a sphygmomanometer, measuring height and weight and an observation sheet. Data analysis used the Ancova test with the assumption of normal and homogeneous data distribution. Ancova analysis results showed that BMI did not affect systolic blood pressure (F = 0.014, p value 0.907> α), but there was a difference in systolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 105.06, p-value 0,000 <α). The results of the ancova analysis showed that BMI did not affect diastolic blood pressure (F = 0.003, p value 0.953> α), but there was a difference in diastolic blood pressure between the control group and the treatment group (F = 80.899, p-value 0.000 <α). It can be concluded that the difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after being given Touch Therapy is not controlled by the BMI variable. This is because blood pressure is controlled by other influencing factors, including stress and physical activity.

Proses degeneratif tubuh yang terjadi seiring dengan pertambahan usia akan meningkatkan risiko terjadinya nyeri sendi akibat osteoarthritis lutut, terutama pada lansia. Nyeri sendi yang dialami akan menurunkan aktivitas fisik lansia dan berdampak pada penurunan lingkup gerak sendi. Salah satu tindakan nonfarmakologi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi skala nyeri sendi adalah senam rematik. Gerakan aktif dan ringan tanpa menggunakan beban dalam senam rematik menjadi pemicu pengeluaran beta-endorfin, neuromudulator alami tubuh yang dapat menghambat pelepasan impuls nyeri sehingga skala nyeri sendi lansia berkurang. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh senam rematik terhadap perubahan skala nyeri pada lansia dengan osteoarthritis lutut. Desain penelitian quasi experimentaldengan pendekatan pretest-posttest with control group design. Responden dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling di Panti Werdha Sinar Abadi Kota Singkawang kemudian dibagi menjadi kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol. Instrumen penelitian adalah Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scaledengan analisis data menggunakan Paired T Testdan Independent T Test.Uji hipotesis dengan Paired T Testpada kelompok perlakuan p-value= 0,000 dan pada kelompok kontrol p-value= 0,017. P-valuekedua kelompok < 0,05 yang berarti terdapat penurunan skala nyeri setelah pemberian senam rematik pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol. Uji beda mean posttestantara kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol menggunakan Independent T Test menunjukkan p-value= 0,000 (p<0,05) yang berarti penurunan skala nyeri dengan senam rematik lebih bermakna daripada penurunan skala nyeri yang tidak diberikan senam rematik. Terdapat pengaruh senam rematik terhadap perubahan skala nyeri pada lansia dengan osteoarthritis lutut berupa penurunan skala nyeri pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol, tetapi hasil uji beda mean kedua kelompok menunjukkan adanya perbedaan perubahan skala nyeri, skala nyeri kelompok perlakuan lebih rendah daripada kelompok kontrol. Penurunan skala nyeri lebih efektif pada kelompok menggunakan senam rematik daripada kelompok yang tidak diberikan senam rematik.Kata kunci:Lansia, nyeri sendi, osteoarthritis lutut, senam rematik, skala nyeri.The Effect of Rheumatoid Physical Exercises to Reduce Pain Intensity among Elderly Diagnosed with Knee Osteoarthritis AbstractIt is known that arthritis pain can reduce physical activities and join mobility among elderly. A rheumatoid physical exercise is considered as one of non-pharmacologic treatment to minimise their pain intensity. This activity stimulates the release of beta endorphin which inhibits pain impulse modulation that contributed to the reduction of pain intensity. This study aimed to examine the effect of structured physical exercises towards pain intensity among knee osteoarthritis. A quasi experimental with pretest-posttest with control group design was designed. Two groups of elderly were assigned in control and intervention groups. Respondent were recruited using purposive sampling from Panti Werdha Sinar Abadi in Singkawang Kalimantan. Data was assessed using Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scale and then analysed by employing Paired T-test and Independent T-test. Findings indicated there was a different of pain intensity within the intervention group (p-value = 0,000) and controlled group (p-value=0,017). Thus, the reduction of pain score was more effective among the intervention group compared to the controlled group. Keywords: Arthritis pain, elderly, knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid physical exercise, pain scale.
