FAMILY NURSING CARE ON INEFFECTIVE FAMILY HEALTH MANAGEMENT IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION THROUGH HYPERTENSION EXERCISE EDUCATION IN PAGARUYUNG VILLAGE, TAPUNG DISTRICT

Abstract

The elderly stage is a natural part of human life. Aging is a lifelong process that does not begin at a specific moment but rather from the beginning of life itself. One of the most common diseases experienced by the elderly is hypertension. Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure increases due to problems in the blood vessels, which results in oxygen and nutrients not reaching the body's tissues effectively. The objective of this final professional nursing paper is to describe the outcomes of nursing practice by applying the nursing problem of ineffective family health management in elderly patients with hypertension in Pagaruyung Village, Tapung District, Kampar Regency. The method used in this nursing intervention was the implementation of hypertension exercise. The intervention was carried out over three days, from September 17 to September 21, 2025, with each session lasting 10–15 minutes. The benefits of hypertension exercise include reducing muscle tension, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart rate, and metabolic rate, ultimately helping to lower blood pressure. The results of this case study indicated that after three days of implementing hypertension exercise, there was a significant difference in the family's success in carrying out recommended health activities before and after the intervention.
