This study aims to determine the effect of consumption of young coconut water on blood pressure nursing students at Respati University Yogyakarta. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with the design of a pre and post-test nonequivalent control group. The sampling technique used simple random sampling, as many as 36 samples. Test using T-test Paired and Wilcoxon. The results of the analysis of systolic and diastolic blood pressure pretest-posttest in the control group obtained p-value of 0.121 and 0.361. The systolic blood pressure analysis and diastole pre-post test results in the experimental group obtained p-values of 0.030 and 0.194. The posttest systolic and diastolic blood pressure analysis in the control and experimental groups obtained p-values of 0.021 and 0.371, which concluded that there was an effect of consumption of coconut water on systolic blood pressure in nursing students.
