Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a disease that causes death. Generally, hypertension affects people of various ages. The WHO in 2019 estimated that about 22% of the world's population suffers from hypertension. Hypertension is a condition in which there is an increase in the sympathetic nervous system. This is due to an increase in the production of catecholamines such as adrenaline and non-adrenaline, which trigger the narrowing of blood vessels, leading to hypertension. Hypertension causes symptoms such as pain in the back of the head, a heavy feeling in the neck, blurred vision to the point of being foggy, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, and pain in the back of the neck. This pain is caused by blockages in the circulatory system from the heart which has a series of arterial and venous blood vessels while carrying blood. Objective: This research aims to determine the application of progressive muscle relaxation therapy to reduce headaches in hypertensive patients. Method: The method used is a qualitative method with a case study design. This research uses instruments such as a mattress or bed, pillows, wall clocks, and a quiet and comfortable environment. In addition, there are assessment formats such as hypertension assessment sheets, acute pain assessment and PQRST, inclusion criteria assessments, pain level evaluation sheets, and standard operating procedure sheets. Results: The results of the analysis show that after implementation for five days, both respondents experienced a decrease in pain levels and blood pressure. This situation is evidenced by the complaints of severe pain decreasing to moderate pain, and systolic blood pressure of ≥140 and diastolic of ≥90 decreasing to systolic of ≤130 and diastolic of ≤86. Conclusion: It can be concluded that progressive muscle relaxation with a frequency of 1 time per day for a duration of 10 minutes for 5 consecutive days can help reduce blood pressure and pain.
