Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is a condition, where someone has a blood pressure systole ≥ 140mmHg and a blood pressure diastole ≥ 90nmmHg. Hypertension is a health condition that affects 26% of people worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) in the "Global NCD Target Reduce Hight Blood Pressure" explained that an increase in blood pressure caused 9.4 million deaths and a major risk factor for global death . Uncontrolled hypertension results in various kinds of complications, even death in a person. Therefore, complex management of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies is needed to improve various organs. Walking exercise is one of the non-pharmacological methods in controlling blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of walking exercise on hypertension patients' blood pressure. Methods: Search for articles through a database: Pro quest, Scopus, Science Direct, and EBSCO. Published between 2010 -2020. The method used in the article search is PICOT frame work. Result: There were 13 journals that were analyzed. The review results from 13 journals show that walking exercise effective in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Conclusion: Walking exercise that is done routinely can reduce blood pressure systole and diastole in hyperetnsi patients. Walking exercise can be included as one of the independent nursing interventions through health education to control blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Highlights
Hypertension is a condition, where a person has systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90nmmHg (Haldar, 2013)
This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the effect of walking exercise on blood pressure in hypertensive patients
This systematic review focuses on the use of research journals with the criteria of respondents in patients with hypertension based on World Health Organization (WHO) hypertension criteria, patients in the age range (17 years-80 years), patients in stable condition
Summary
Hypertension is a condition, where a person has systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90nmmHg (Haldar, 2013). Explained that an increase in blood pressure caused the death of 9.4 million people and was a major risk factor for global death. Several conditions, such as alcohol consumption, being overweight, lack of physical activity, high sodium intake, contribute to the increase in the incidence of hypertension globally. The increase in blood pressure results in the narrowing of the arterioles in the retina, resulting in decreased blood circulation in the retina. This situation can lead to blindness in a person. Retinal constriction is found in clients with stroke and kidney disease (Chua et al, 2019)
