Keywords:
Hypertension Pain, Pain Scale, Warm CompressesAbstract
Background: Hypertensive pain can result from blockage of blood vessels due to structural changes in small arteries and arterioles. Arteries can be disrupted if blood vessel pressure narrows and increased blood vessels can cause circulation problems in the brain, resulting in patients experiencing headaches which cause pain in the nape of the neck. Pain in hypertension can be controlled with pharmacological and non-pharmacological management. One non-pharmacological application is to apply a warm compress to the nape of the neck Objective: Knowing the application of warm compresses to the nape of the neck to overcome the main problem of chronic pain in hypertensive patients. Method: This research is a qualitative descriptive research with a case study strategy using 2 respondents, namely patients who experience pain in hypertension. The procedure is carried out for 3 consecutive days by applying a warm compress to the nape of the neck for 15-20 minutes, measuring the pain scale before and after the procedure. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation, structured interviews, pre-test and post-test methods, as well as documentation. Results: Applying a warm compress to the nape of the neck resulted in no reduction in pain levels in both patients. Patient I complained of moderate pain on scale 5 after application did not decrease but remained moderate pain on scale 5 and patient 2 also did not experience a decrease in pain level from moderate pain on scale 6 after application remained moderate pain on scale 6. Conclusion: Applying a warm compress to the nape of the neck was not effective in treating the main problem of chronic pain in the two respondents who were hypertensive patients.
