Introduction: Hypertension During Pregnancy (HDP) is one of the leading causes of maternal death. If HDP is not managed, it will affect both the mother and the fetus. One therapy that can be used for HDP is a foot soak in warm boiled lemongrass water and Swedish massage. This therapy can improve blood circulation, increase blood supply to tissues, and stimulate vasodilation in blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure in pregnancy hypertension. This study aims to analyze the effect of a foot soak in warm boiled lemongrass water and Swedish massage on blood pressure among hypertensive pregnant women.
Methods: The research method used a pre-experimental with a pretest-posttest without control group design. The population in this study was all hypertensive pregnant women, totaling 20 respondents, selected using a total sampling technique. A data normality revealed that the distribution deviated significantly from the Gaussian model. Consequently, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was employed as a non-parametric alternative for the inferential analysis of the dataset.
Results: pre-intervention blood pressure averaged 157/91 mmHg, while post-intervention figures dropped to 135/81 mmHg. With a significance level of p < 0.05, the data demonstrate that the integration of warm lemongrass water immersion and Swedish massage effectively attenuates hypertension in the pregnant women..
Conclusions: Midwives in providing midwifery care to pregnant women with hypertension can use warm lemongrass foot soak therapy and Swedish massage in addition to using pharmacological therapy
