EFFECTS Of LIGHT MASSAGE ON BLOOD PRESSURE And SpO2 IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE IN RSUD PROF. DR. MARGONO SOEKARDJO PURWOKERTO

Objective: Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world. The problem that often arises in patients with heart failure is hemodynamic instability. Early detection and recognition of characteristics quickly can help prevent deterioration and maximize the healing process. One of the measures to recognize these characteristics is monitoring blood pressure and SpO2. Rapid blood pressure and SpO2 changes are caused by mobilization and stimulation of the patient's body and require periodic blood pressure and SpO2 monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of light massage on blood pressure and SpO2 in patients with heart failure. Methods: This study used quasy-experiment pretest-posttest with control group design, in 5 hospital wards Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo. Samples were recruited using proportional random sampling technique, consisting of 30 respondents taken according to inclusion criteria, research variables were: giving light massage given 2 times daily for 5 days during treatment. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and observations, and they were analyzed with Paired T-Test and MANOVA. Results: The results showed that between the treatment and control group on the blood pressure and SpO2 variables is light massage p <0.05, MANOVA hypothesis test result obtained p <0,05. Conclusion: Light massage have positive effect on blood pressure and SpO2 in patients with heart failure in RSUD Prof.Dr. Margono Soekardjo Purwokerto.
