- Abstract
Most haemodialysis patients experience moderate to high level of anxiety and stress. This requires coping skills and techniques that can be used to effectively reduce stress level, and increase the participation of hospitals to improve service quality. This study aims to determine the impact of Meridian Tapping Point combined with Breathing Exercise Technique to the stress level, blood pressure & pulse rate of haemodialysis patients at Christian Hospital Ngesti Waluyo Parakan. Design: A quasi experimental one group pre-test-post-test design was conducted. The study was conducted on June 26 to July 15, 2019, with total respondent 46 haemodialysis patients. With variables stress, blood pressure, pulse rate. Data were analysed using paired sample t-test. Result: The results showed that a decrease in PSS score, blood pressure and pulse in the post test. The difference of score between pre-test and post-test was 0.000 (p<0.05). Meanwhile, the difference of systolic blood pressure between pre and post-test was 0.001 (p<0.05), for diastolic, the difference of score was 0.03 (p<0.05), and for pulse the difference score was 0.043 (p<0.05). Thus, there is a significant difference in the stress level, blood pressure and pulse rate before and after the intervention.
