Abstract:
High blood pressure is a disorder associated with stress. In numerous people, behavioral strategies or stress management interventions such as relaxation and massage are useful in control of their response to stress and consequently, the reduction of blood pressure. Regarding to more effects of combinational intervention therapy based on behavioral methods rather than application of pharmacotherapy, it is expected that the use of these methods including massage is more effective in decreasing blood pressure.
Materials And Methods
In this quasi-experimental,based on pilot study, 90 hypertensive patients were chosen and their blood pressure and radial pulse were measured in 20 sessions during 5 weeks before and after back massage on Saturdays and Tuesdays and without massage on Sundays and Wednesdays. Data were collected by a demographic questionnaire and check list to record blood pressure and pulse, then these data were analyzed by STATA software.
Results
The results showed that there was a decrease in the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and radial pulse by 6.3 and 3.9 mmHg and 2.9 beats per minute (p=0.0001).
Conclusion
The results revealed that massage had decreasing effect on blood pressure and pulse of the primary hypertensive patients. Use of stress management interventions such as massage is an acceptable, simple and teachable method to families for better control of the disease.
