Abstract
Hypertension in pregnancy has been treated for decades with pharmacological therapy, but it can result in side effects. Non-pharmacological therapy is most commonly used as an alternative drug as well as a companion therapy to reduce the side effects. Tomato extract, which contains potassium and lycopene, is a non-pharmacological therapy that can lower maternal blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Purposes: This study aimed to analyze the potential of a tomato extract (solanum lycopersicum) as an anti-hypertensive drug companion to help repair blood pressure and potassium levels in pregnant women with hypertension.
Methods: This study is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest with control group design. Purposive sampling technique was employed, with 32 respondents divided into intervention and control groups. A Friedmann Test and a Paired Sample T-Test were employed in the statistical analysis.
Result: Systolic blood pressure drops by 16.8 mmHg in the intervention group and 4.0 mmHg in the control group, with a p-value 0.000. Diastolic blood group intervention decreases by 9.6 mmHg and control group decreases by 7.9 mmHg, with a p-value 0.000.
