Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background Abdominal breathing exercise is one among these. It reduces blood pressure by increasing baroreflex sensitivity and reducing sympathetic activity and chemo reflex activation. In India, it is reported that there are around 42 people are with pre hypertension, 15 are newly diagnose to have Hypertension and 31 are with known case of hypertension, and it kills nearly 8 million people every year worldwide. The noncompliance with treatment, stress and life style are found to be major reason for this doubling of disease within a decade, there “arises need for new therapies ‘and’ remedies. Objectives The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of abdominal breathing exercise in reducing mean blood pressure among hypertensive patients. Methods Pre experimental one group pre test – post test design was adopted for the study. 60 hypertensive patients from male and female medical general ward had been selected by convenient sampling. Tool comprised of Demographic proforma contained 9 items and sphygmomanometer, stethoscope and blood pressure monitoring table contained 3 items to record the readings. The reliability of the tool was tested by inter rater method and it was found to be r = 0.99. Abdominal breathing exercise was administered to the samples after pre assessment of mean blood pressure for ten minutes and post assessment of mean blood pressure is done at the gap of 5 minutes which is repeated 3 times a day and monitored for minimum of 3 days. ‘t’ test was used for finding the effectiveness, and Chi square test was used for finding out the association between mean blood pressure and selected demographic variables. Results It revealed that the mean differences in pre and post assessment was5.61 and ‘t’ value was 19.39 which is more than the ‘t’ table value. The overall findings of the study revealed that the Conclusion the study concluded that abdominal breathing exercise is found to be very effective in reducing the mean blood pressure.
