Abstract :
The Effect of Papaya Fruit Juice on Reducing Blood Pressure in Hypertension Sufferers in the Bilato Health Center Work Area. Supervised by FADLI SYAMSUDDIN as chairman and SABIRIN B. SYUKUR as a member. Hypertension, or what is better known to the public as high blood disease, is an increase in blood pressure. If hypertension occurs prolongedly, it will be at risk of narrowing of blood vessels, stroke, heart failure, and chronic renal failure. One of the alternative non-pharmacological treatments in hypertensive patients is the administration of papaya fruit juice. This research aimed to determine the effect of papaya fruit juice on reducing blood pressure in people with hypertension. This research method is pre-experimental, with a research design of one group pretest-posttest?data analysis using paired sample t-test. Sampling was carried out with purposive sampling techniques. The results showed there was a significant difference in the decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive patients after being given papaya fruit juice, with an average reduction in systolic blood pressure of 24.00 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 16.00 mmHg, this is due to the role of potassium contained in papaya fruit, which in the mechanism of decreasing blood pressure causes vasodilation that can dilate blood vessels so that blood can flow more smoothly. Thus it is hoped that hypertensive patients can consume papaya fruit juice as one of the safe alternatives to lower blood pressure.
