Keywords:
Hypertension, Blood Pressure, Watermelon JuiceAbstract
Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that continues to increase in prevalence annually. Management of hypertension can be conducted through non-pharmacological therapy, such as consuming watermelon juice. This study aimed to determine the effect of watermelon juice on reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients in RW 01, Pasar Baru Subdistrict. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 30 participants selected through total sampling. The intervention was administered once daily over three consecutive days. Data were collected by measuring blood pressure before and after the intervention using a sphygmomanometer. The paired t-test analysis revealed a significant difference-level prel- and post-intervention blood pressure values (p < 0.05). On the first day, the average systolic blood pressure decreased from 146.63 mmHg to 136.20 mmHg, with similar reductions observed on subsequent days. The results indicate that watermelon juice is effective in lowering blood pressure and may serve as a natural and practical alternative therapy for individuals with hypertension.
