Abstract

Pregnancy with preeclampsia is high-risk that needs to be monitored intensively in order not to become eclampsia. Massage and acupressure are non-pharmacological techniques to help it. The aims of this research was to identify the effectiveness of JSJ (Jin Shin Jyutsu) massage and acupressure at the point of LR3 (Taichong) and LR2 (Xingjiang) in reducing blood pressure of pregnant mothers with preeclampsia. The method was a quasy experiment with non-equivalent control group approach. The samples were 30 pregnant mothers consisting 15 treatments and 15 controls chosen by consecutive sampling technique. The treatment group was given intervention for 15-30 minutes. Blood pressure measurement devices were stethoscope and sphygmomanometer. The analysis used T-paired and Independent T-test. The result of T-paired test in the intervention group obtained p (0,000) <α (0.05) for the systole, p (0,003) <α (0.05) for the diastole. The independent test result of T-test after intervention showed p (0,009) <α (0.05) for the systole, p (0,004) <α (0.05) for the diastole. It meant JSJ massage and acupressure at the point of LR3 and LR2 reduced blood pressure. This research found that those techniques were effective and recommended midwives to apply them as the non-pharmacological therapy in reducing blood pressure.
