Abstract. Heart and blood vessel disease, including hypertension, are the highest cause of death in the world. Instrumental music and self-hypnosis are choices to achieve a relaxed state and cause stable blood pressure. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy to decrease the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. This study employed a quasi experimental design, pre-test and post-test with non-equivalent control group Forty-six patients were recruited and allocated in the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received the standard pharmacological therapy and combination instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy. While the control group received the standard pharmacological therapy. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test and independent sample t-test. The results showed significant decrease in systolic blood pressure after instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy (p = 0.001) and a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure after the administration instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy (p = 0.005). Researchers recommend the use of instrumental music and self-hypnosis therapy to reduce the blood pressure of hypertensive patients Keyword: Instrumental music therapy; self-hypnosis; blood pressure level; hypert

Abstrak. Penyakit jantung dan pembuluh darah, termasuk hipertensi, adalah penyebab kematian tertinggi di dunia. Musik instrumental dan self-hypnosis adalah pilihan untuk mencapai keadaan rileks dan menyebabkan stabil tekanan darah. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui keefektifan musik instrumental dan terapi self-hypnosis untuk menurunkan darah tekanan pasien hipertensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuasi desain eksperimental, pre-test dan post-test dengan non-ekuivalen kelompok kontrol Empat puluh enam pasien direkrut dan dialokasikan di kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok eksperimen menerima terapi farmakologis standar dan kombinasi musik instrumental dan terapi self-hypnosis. Sedangkan kontrol kelompok menerima terapi farmakologis standar. Data dulu dianalisis menggunakan uji-t berpasangan dan uji-t sampel independen. Itu Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan tekanan darah sistolik yang signifikan setelahnya musik instrumental dan terapi self-hypnosis (p = 0,001) dan a penurunan tekanan darah diastolik yang signifikan setelah pemberian musik instrumental dan terapi self-hypnosis (p = 0,005). Peneliti merekomendasikan penggunaan musik instrumental dan terapi self-hypnosis untuk menurunkan tekanan darah hipertensi pasien Kata kunci: Terapi musik instrumental; self-hypnosis; darah tingkat tekanan; hipertensi
