Keywords:
hypertension, non-pharmacological intervention, stress managementAbstract
Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often goes unnoticed and can cause serious complications if not
treated optimally. Family-based nursing approach is an effective strategy in improving the health management of
patients with hypertension. This case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of stress management education
interventions and hypertension exercises in improving family health management readiness in Mrs. L, a 49-yearold woman, with a history of hypertension who lives in Gentingan Hamlet, Godean District, Sleman Regency.
This study used a descriptive case study design with an implementation time of three days (May 12-14, 2025).
The interventions provided include education on psychological stress management and demonstration of
hypertension gymnastics as a non-pharmacological therapy. Data were collected through interviews, direct
observation, and verbal evaluation of patients. Evaluation results showed an increase in patients' understanding of
stress, ability to apply deep breathing techniques when anxious, and active participation in hypertension exercises
with family members. Family Health Management SLKI indicators (L.12105) showed significant improvement
in knowledge, ability to recognize risks, and management of health conditions. The conclusion of this study is
that the combination of family-based educative and physical interventions proved effective in improving health
management readiness in hypertensive patients, and can be widely applied in community nursing practice.
