ABSTRACT PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES OF BLOOD PRESSURE IN EARLY ADULT WOMAN AT UNIVERSITAS ADVENT INDONESIA Written by: Masri Ulan NIM: 1351086 Mechanical progressive muscle relaxation or progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) believed to reduce psychological stress (Maghfirah, Sudiana, Widyawati, 2015), lowering blood pressure (Tyani, Utomo, Hasneli, 2015 and blood sugar (Mashudi, 2011). The purpose of this research was conducted to determine differences in blood pressure before and after the PMR in early adult women with normal blood pressure at Universitas Advent Indonesia (UNAI) using the experimental one-group pretest and posttest design. The subjects in this study were 31 early adult women at age 17- 25 years were selected based on random sampling. The instruments used are a guidance sheet PMR motion, sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, watches, observation sheets, and stationery. PMR conducted in 30 minutes for 6 days. The result is calculated using mean formula, then continued with a statistical test to see differences in blood pressure before and after using paired T test. The results of this study showed that the average of blood preasure value before PMR 104.5 mmHg (systole) and 75.4 mmHg (diastole) after doing PMR has decreased to 95.16 mmHg (systole) and 69.03 mmHg (diastole) with p value of 0.000 (systole) and the p-value of 0.000 (diastole) <α = 0.05 with 95% confidence level; which means that the Ho is related and Ha accepted with the conclusion were there is significant differences in blood pressure before and after doing PMR for 6 days.
