  • Hypertension or high blood pressure is a disease that has a high risk of becoming heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. A condition in which systolic and diastolic pressures increase beyond the normal limit, namely systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg. Hypertension is a condition of chronically increasing blood pressure, this occurs because the heart works harder to pump blood to meet the body's needs for oxygen and nutrients. There are 2 ways of treating hypertension, namely pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One of the non-pharmacological methods is by giving cucumber juice. The purpose of this study was to determine the nursing care carried out to hypertension families with the application of non-pharmacological therapy through cucumber juice therapy. This research design uses a case study. The subjects taken were 2 families with one family member experiencing hypertension. The results of this study showed a lack of knowledge of hypertension sufferers about hypertension with the application of the complexity of the care/treatment program in hypertension sufferers. It is hoped that people with hypertension will be able to increase their knowledge and insight about hypertension and care/treatment programs for people with hypertension.
