Abstract: (360 Views)
Background: Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide, considered a significant public health concern leading to millions of deaths from stroke, cardiovascular, and kidney diseases. This study aimed to explore the impact of mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and resilience of women with HTN.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 32 eligible women with HTN were randomly divided into two groups: intervention and control. Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and a digital brachial sphygmomanometer for both groups at three stages: before, after, and two months after the intervention. A mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention was conducted for the experimental group in a group setting over ten sessions, while no intervention was performed in the control group. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post-hoc test with SPSS software.
Findings: The post-test scores of SBP and DBP of the intervention group decreased compared to the pre-test, and the resilience score of the participants increased significantly (P < 0.001). The observed change in the experimental group was stable in the follow-up phase. Moreover, no significant difference was observed between the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up scores of the control group in the variables of SBP and DBP, as well as resilience. This indicated that no change was found in the control group.
Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as a supplement to drug therapy in solving problems related to patients with HTN in private and hospital counseling centers.
