THE DIFFERENCES IN THE INCREASING OF AVERAGE BLOOD PRESSURE IN 1-MONTH INJECTING ACCEPTORS WITH 3-MONTH IN ACCEPTORS

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The increase in blood pressure is the change in blood volume or the elasticity of blood vessels, both systole and diastole, which increases by 10 mmHg or more, which is measured using a sphigmanometer. This increase in blood pressure is caused by many factors, one of which is the use of hormonal injection contraceptives. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the average increase in blood pressure between 1 month injection acceptors and 3 months injection acceptors at BPM Martini Boer, Padang Pasir Public Health Center. This type of research is observational with a cross sectional design. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling of 1 month and 3 months injection family planning acceptors who came to BPM Martini Boer who met the study inclusion criteria. The data were collected through the KB participant card and data processing used the Independent T Test. Based on the results of the study, the mean blood pressure of systolic injection acceptors for 1 month and 3 months was 114.90 mmHg and 120.10 mmHg with a value of p = 0.004 and the average blood pressure for injection diastolic acceptors for 1 month and 3 months was 76, 10 mmHg and 81.50 mmHg with p = 0.000 (p <0.05). There was a difference in the increase in the mean blood pressure of the injection acceptors for 1 month and 3 months. The results of this study indicated that there was a difference in the increase in the mean blood pressure of 1-month injection acceptors and 3-month injection acceptors. It is hoped that the results of this study will be input by midwives in providing information about the side effects of injection contraceptives on increasing blood pressure.
