ABSTRACT BLOOD PRESSURE BASED ON FLAT ON BED, SEMIFOWLER AND FOWLER POSITION IN AGE GROUP VARIATION Blood pressure is a vital sign to determine health status. Many factors that influence blood pressure measurement results one of them is the position of the body. In this research will be examined the results of blood pressure measurements after the change position ie on the position of flat on bed, semifowler and fowler. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in blood pressure measurements on changes in body position. This research is an experimental research conducted by analytic observation method with cross sectional design. The population in this study are students of SD, SMP and students of Advent Indonesia University who are categorized in the age of children, adolescents and adults. Sampling technique used purposive sampling and obtained a sample of 69 people. This study was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and T paired test. The results show the mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure on the flat bed position of 100.17 / 69.39, 108.39 / 73.35, 114.65 / 71.35 mmHg, the semifowler position of 99.52 / 72.43, 101.78 / 73.83, 112.61 / 72.87 mmHg and the fowler position of 102.57 /71.87, 108.22 / 75.74, 112.91 / 75.78 mmHg by age group of children, adolescents and adults. There were differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements on the flat on bed and semifowler (p value <0.05) and diastolic positions of flat on bed and fowler (p value <0.05). Based on the research results can be stated that the position greatly affects blood pressure, where the higher the head position of the heart then the higher the blood pressure. Keywords: blood pressure, body position, flat on bed, semifowler, fowler.
