“Assess Effectiveness Of Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy To Reduce Blood Pressure Among Hypertensive Patient”

Hypertension is a common disorder of major clinical and public health importance. It is a powerful independent predictor of premature death and disability. Hypertension is called as silent killer disease because people who have it are often symptom free. Hypertension is a major chronic life style disease and an important public health problem worldwide.The aim of investigator is To assess the blood pressure level among experimental and control group with application of Jacobson’s progressive muscles relaxation therapy to reduce hypertension in experimental group. Quantitative Quasi experimental (one-group post test research design) was used to conduct the study. Non probability purposive sampling technique used to select the 60 hypertensive patient from Venus Hospital,Surat. The data collection technique used for present study was structure questionnaire for demographic variables and clinical variables and sphygmomanometer used to measure blood pressure. The study result shows that mean post-test systolic blood pressure was lower(5.33) compared to mean pretest systolic blood pressure score. It shows that mean post-test diastolic blood pressure was lower(3.33) compared to mean pretest diastolic blood pressure in experimental group. which means that level of blood pressure is reduce after providing intervention. Above data shows that calculated‘t’ value (2.64, df -29) is greater than the table value (2.76) at 0.05 level of significance. So, research hypothesis is accepted. There is a significant difference between prê-test and post-test level of blood pressure. It concluded that Jacobson’s progressive muscles relaxation technique was effective on the reduce level of blood pressure.
