The results of data analysis using the independent sample t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.05, which means that there is an effect of slow stroke back massage on blood pressure in hypertension sufferers. This study recommended slow stroke back massage as an alternative or supporting therapy in managing hypertension in elderly individuals because it does not cause side effects. }, issn = {2622-4321}, pages = {30--37} doi = {10.14710/hnhs.6.1.2023.30-37}, url = {https://ejournal2.undip.ac.id/index.php/hnhs/article/view/17367} }
