Hypertension is a persistent increase in blood pressure and often triggers serious complications, including disturbed sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality can worsen the patient's condition. Non-pharmacological management through a nursing care approach is an important alternative for improving the quality of patient rest. This case study aims to implement nursing care for hypertensive patients with a focus on meeting their needs for rest and sleep.
Nursing care for Mrs. W with a medical diagnosis of hypertension is given for seven days (13–20 December 2025). Referring to the national standards of IDHS, SIKI and SLKI, the main intervention provided is sleep support by administering lavender aromatherapy.
The results of the initial assessment showed that the patient had disturbed sleep patterns, characterized by difficulty falling asleep and frequent awakenings at night. After being given intervention for seven days, the nursing evaluation showed that the problem of disturbed sleep patterns was resolved, marked by a significant reduction in complaints of difficulty sleeping and frequency of waking up.
Sleep support with lavender aromatherapy is effective in improving sleep quality in hypertensive patients. The natural sedative effect of lavender helps relax the nervous system, making the transition to sleep easier. This non-pharmacological technique is recommended as a safe companion intervention in the nursing care of hypertensive patients to improve quality of life through adequate rest patterns.
