Abstract
Hypertension in pregnancy is a cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women with hypertension are given the antihypertensive drug nifedipine but it has side effects on the mother and fetus, so it is necessary to research the supplementation of purple sweet potato extract as a companion to nifedipine. Purple sweet potatoes contain anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants and antihypertensives. The study aimed was to determine the effect of purple sweet potato extract supplement on blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension. The research design is a quasi-experiment with pre and post-test with control group design. The intervention group (15 respondents) was given supplements of purple sweet potato extract 960 mg per day and 10 mg nifedipine, the control group (15 respondents) was given 10 mg nifedipine. Blood pressure measurements were carried out before and after 14 days of treatment. The sampling technique was randomized sampling. Data analysis used paired sample t-test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon, and Mann Whitney.The results of this study are the average decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group was 19.20 mmHg and 13.60 mmHg, the control group was 13.07 mmHg and 6.73 mmHg. There was a significant difference in the mean difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the intervention and control groups (p-value 0.031 and 0.001). Supplements of purple sweet potato extract 960 mg per day and nifedipine 10 mg were effective in reducing the blood pressure of pregnant women with hypertension.
