The Effect Of Acupoint Sp6 And Sp9 Acupressure Therapy On Improving Sleep Quality In Hypertension Patients
Abstract
The prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia increases with age, and the symptoms caused can interfere with sleep. This study aims to determine the effect of SP6 and SP9 acupressure acupoint therapy on improving the quality of sleep of hypertensive patients in the Dawan I Klungkung Health Center Working Area. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with pretest and post-test with control group. There were 46 research subjects aged 18-64 years selected using purposive sampling technique. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The majority of respondents were 48-60 years old and female. Results showed improvement in sleep in the experimental group who received therapy 2 times a week for 2 weeks. Before therapy, 95.7% had moderate sleep and 4.4% had poor sleep and after therapy, 82.6% had good sleep and 17.4% had moderate sleep. The control group did not experience significant changes because they did not receive therapy. The analysis showed that acupressure therapy had a positive effect on the experimental group's sleep quality (Wilcoxon Test value = 0.000), in contrast to the control group (Wilcoxon Test value = 0.144). There was a significant difference between the two groups based on the Mann-Whitney t-test (value = 0.000). Conclusion, acupressure therapy acupoint SP6 and SP9 can improve sleep quality in patients with hypertension. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as a reference therapy in improving sleep quality.
