This study aims to determine the differences in stress levels in hypertensive patients before
and after treatment given SEFT intervention. The design used in this research is one group
pretest-posttest design. Subjects in this study were male and female hypertensive patients,
aged 40-60 years, had a stress score with moderate to high stress level, minimal junior high
school education. Subjects in this study amounted to 5 people. Stress was measured using a
stress scale of 28 items. Subjects were treated in the form of SEFT intervention, namely the
merging of spirituality (form of prayer and resignation) and psychological energy carried out
by three techniques, among others, are set-up, tune-in and tapping. Quantitative data
analysis techniques using wilcoxon sign rank analysis is to determine whether there is a
difference in stress score between pretest and posttest and posttest and follow up on the
subject of research. Analysis of qualitative data from observation, interview, worksheet and
evaluation sheet. Based on quantitative results of wilcoxon sign rank test showed that in this
study there are significant differences between pretest and posttest with value Z = -2.023ͣ (p
<0,050). The results can also be seen from the decrease of mean score between pretest and
postest. Pretest with mean score ( X= 82.20) and posttest with mean value ( X= 56,20). The
posttest average is lower than the pretest average. This means there is a decrease in the
score on the pretest average to the posttest. Based on the above explanation can be
concluded that the spiritual emotional freedom technique (SEFT) can reduce stress in
hypertensive patients.
