Roselle Flower, Hypertension, Elderl,Abstract
Elderly individuals are those aged over 60 years who experience various physiological changes, including a decline in the body’s ability to regulate blood pressure. Hypertension, defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure, is a common health condition among the elderly. If left untreated, hypertension may lead to serious complications affecting vital organ functions. One non-pharmacological approach that can be applied in managing hypertension is the administration of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) flower decoction, which is known to have relaxing effects and the potential to lower blood pressure. This study aims to describe nursing care through the application of roselle flower decoction among elderly patients with hypertension. The research employed a one-group pre-test post-test design involving two elderly participants who met the inclusion criteria in Gampong Ie Masen. The intervention was administered for seven consecutive days, from May 10 to May 17, 2025. The results indicated that the roselle flower decoction was effective in reducing blood pressure. The first subject’s blood pressure decreased from 159/90 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg, while the second subject’s decreased from 155/90 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg. Therefore, roselle flower decoction may serve as a supportive intervention in the management of hypertension among the elderly.
