Abstract

Globally, the total amount of hypertension in the world in 2020 was around 20.25%. In Indonesia, it was reported to be 34.11%. The number of people with hypertension in Makassar was 14.83%. This study aims to determine the effect of giving ginger extract and cucumber juice on changes in blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study is an experimental quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pre-test and post-test control with a group design. The study subjects were hypertensive patients aged 20–65 years. A total of 46 samples were collected based on the purposive sampling method. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests with a 5% meaning. The results showed a decrease in blood pressure in the intervention group, with the test results obtaining a value of significance (p = 0.000). In the comparison intervention group, there was a decrease in the value of significance (p = 0.000). The intergroup test obtained p-value values in the intervention group (p =0.034) and in the value comparison intervention group (p =0.000), then H1 was accepted, meaning that there was a difference in the effect of ginger extract on the intervention group and cucumber juice in the comparison intervention group on changes in blood pressure in people with hypertension. People with hypertension are expected to continue the consumption of ginger extract and cucumber juice as an alternative treatment, and this finding is an input to the local and provincial governments in drafting policies to overcome the problem of hypertension in Makassar City.
