This research evaluated the effect of adult cuff size and 8-9 cuff size for children on blood pressure measurement of 30 children 8¬10 years old. The research was an analytic survey. Data measured in the form of systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in set of mmHg. The result of the experiment, the average of systole blood pressure using adult cuff size was 89.9 mmHg and using 8-9 cm cuff was 104.1 mmHg. While the average of diastole using adult cuff size was 58 mmHg and using 8-9 cm cuff was 68 mmHg. Analysis data shows that measurement of systole and diastole blood pressure using adult cuff will gives lower blood pressure result than 8-9 cm cuff (p<0.0001).
