ABSTRAK Data world health organization (WHO) menunjukkan sekitar 1,13 Miliar orang di dunia menyandang hipertensi, artinya 1 dari 3 orang di dunia terdiagnosis hipertensi. Hipertensi disebut sebagai silent killer karena pada sebagian besar kasus tidak menunjukkan tanda dan gejala apapun, sehingga penderita tidak mengetahui jika dirinya terkena hipertensi. Tujuan Setelah diberikan penerapan imajinasi terbimbing diharapkan adanya perubahan tekanan darah pada penderita yg mengalami hipertensi pada Lansia dan mengetahui cara mengatasi hipertensi tanpa menggunakan obat. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dengan cara melakukan  sebelumnya pengukuran  tekanan  darah  pada  lansia selanjutnya melakukan imajinasi terbimbing. Ditemukan lansia menderita hipertensi tetapi blm tau cara pengobatan menggunakan non farmakologi dan Imajinasi Terbimbing ini belum pernah diterapkan di Desa lingsar. Dengan demikian program kesehatan ini sangat mendukung dan sangat efektif untuk dilakukan khususnya kegiatan Imajinasi Terbimbing ini agar dapat dijadikan sebagai program rutin seperti sosialisasi, program kesehatan. Pelaksanaan Imajinasi Terbimbing Ini sangat bagus untuk  menurunkan tekanan darah pada pasien Hipertensi. Oleh karena itu perawat di Puskesmas juga dapat mengaplikasikan teknik Imajinasi Terbimbing dalam membantu menurunkan tekanan darah pada pasien yang mengalami hipertensi Kata Kunci: Imajinasi Terbimbing, Tekanan Darah, Pasien Hipertensi ABSTRACT World Health Organization (WHO) data shows approx 1.13 billion people in the world have hypertension, meaning that 1 in 3 people in the world is diagnosed with hypertension. Hypertension is called the silent killer because in most cases it does not show any signs and symptoms, so the patient does not know if he has hypertension. Objectives After being given the application of guided imagination, it is hoped that there will be changes in blood pressure in patients who have hypertension in the elderly and know how to treat hypertension without using drugs. The implementation of this activity is done by first measuring blood pressure in the elderly and then doing guided imagination. It was found that the elderly suffered from hypertension but did not know how to use non-pharmacological treatment and this Guided Imagination had never been applied in Lingsar Village. Thus this health program is very supportive and very effective to be carried out, especially this Guided Imagination activity so that it can be used as a routine program such as socialization, health programs. Implementation of Guided Imagination This is very good for lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Therefore nurses at the Puskesmas can also apply the Guided Imagination technique to help lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension Keywords: Guided Imagination, Blood Pressure, Hypertension Patients

STANDARDIZATION of terminology for drugs and scientific substances appears to be a highly desirable goal. Exchange of information through publication and individual communication would be far less subject to misinterpretation if nomenclature were precise and unchanged. Furthermore, increase in world travel makes it more necessary than ever that patients, physicians, and pharmacists be able severally to request and comply with requests for drugs without worry about differences in names. International health co-operation and regional health program would obviously benefit from simplification of terminology. The situation has recently been reviewed by P. Blanc, Secretary of the World Health Organization Expert Committee on the International Pharmacopoeia, before the International Pharmaceutical Federation. His paper has been summarized in the Chronicle of the World Health Organization, for November 1952, volume 6, page 322, from which the following extracts are taken: "At first sight it might seem that, for the numerous drugs which are chemical compounds, the chemical names could be used; but the latter are often so complicated that manufacturers and sales agents spontaneously adopt simpler and shorter names. Obviously `riboflavine' sounds better and is more easily remembered than 6:7-dimethyl-9-(D-1'-ribityl)izo-alloxazine. But, unfortunately, the same substance is known elsewhere by the name of `lactoflavine' or `vitamin B2'. Another example may be cited, namely that of the methadone hydrochloride of the Pharmacopoea Internationalis (6-dimethylamino-4,4-diphenyl-3-heptanone), which is known in different countries under the following names: amidone, miadone, diadone, diaminon, mephenon, symoron, etc.

Salt consumption is now much greater than needed for survival. High salt intake increases blood pressure in both animals and humans. Conversely, a reduction in salt intake causes a dose-dependent reduction in blood pressure in men and women of all ages and ethnic groups, and in patients already on medication. The risk of strokes and heart attacks rises with increasing blood pressure, but can be decreased by antihypertensive drugs. However, most cardiovascular disease events occur in individuals with ‘normal’ blood pressure levels. Non-pharmacological prevention is therefore the only option to reduce such events. Reduction in population salt intake reduces the number of vascular events. It is one of the most important public health measures to reduce the global cardiovascular burden. Salt reduction policies are powerful, rapid, equitable, and cost saving. The World Health Organization recommends reducing salt consumption below 5 g per day aiming at a global 30% reduction by 2025. A high potassium intake lowers blood pressure in people with and without hypertension. Its beneficial effects extend beyond blood pressure, and may include a reduction in the risk of stroke (independent of blood pressure changes). Potassium intake in the Western world is relatively low, and a lower potassium intake is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. A moderate increase in potassium intake, either as supplement or with diet, reduces blood pressure, and the World Health Organization has issued global recommendations for a target dietary potassium intake of at least 90 mmol/day (≥3510 mg/day) for adults.

With the increase in aging all over the world, and the elderly population nearly tripling from 524 million (8% of the world's population) in 2010 to 1.5 billion (16% of the world's population) in 2050, we will face new challenges and opportunities in providing healthcare. In 2050, it is estimated that Europe will see an increase of 70% in elderly population aged over 65 years, and 170% in those aged over 80 years (World Health Organization (WHO), 2011). It is vital to respond to the needs of this emerging population and the consequent rise in chronic diseases, especially dementia and mental health disorders, which will overload the healthcare system, as well as raise health and social costs, and demand new policies from national governments (World Health Organization, 2012). We urgently need to know how to organize healthcare for elderly people in the years to come.

Wrong Place

Brock Chisholm, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the early 1950s, was heard to say that “one cultural anthropologist [Cora Du Bois] was worth one hundred malaria teams.” Paul Russell, the leading malariologist at the time, responded (privately in his diary) that Chisholm’s remark was the sort that “one might expect from a psychiatrist planning a world health program.” George Foster reported that Du Bois “was completely disgusted with” her stay at WHO. “They never asked her to do anything. She never followed up.” Chisholm was not the only one who appreciated her contribution to the work of WHO; other WHO programs and offices would have welcomed her contribution. However, by operating out of WHO’s South-East Asia Regional Office (SEARO), she found herself isolated with little chance of her work being reviewed favorably, i.e., the “wrong place.”
