Hypertension has a major economic impact ranging from medical costs to human capital loss and decrease in productivity.The Global Burden of Disease 2010 (GBD 2010) study shows the estimation that hypertension was the leading risk factor for death in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Statistics shows that hypertension accounted for about 24% of total deaths from cardiovascular and circulatory diseases and 1.87% of total deaths from hypertensive urogenital, blood, and endocrine diseases. From 1990 to 2010 the burden of hypertension remained very high inKingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)Previous studies reported high levels of blood pressure in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). These levels ranged from 26.1% among individuals 30–70 years old in 1995–2000 to 25.5% among individuals 15–64 years old in 2005,A study was done to assess Effectiveness Of Breathing Exercise In Lowering High Blood Pressure Among Hypertensive Patients At General Hospital ,Alnamas, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.80 patientswere selected by convenient sampling method. Researcher’s convenience and familiarity with settings were added reason. The tool used for the study includes demographic data andvitalsignsassessmentsheet&digital BP apparatusto assess theblood pressure. After collecting the data, the data analysis was done according to the objectives of the study using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The study findings reveals that revealsthat, Level of significance (P-value < 0.001) assuggested by “Paired t test”. The mean pre-test totallevel of hypertensionScore beforebreathing exercisewas40and mean post-testlevel of hypertensionscore was observed to be 26.66. The reduction in hypertension over breathing exercise (Mean = 13.34,) was significantat 5%.So the breathing exercise was effective onhypertensive patient. The findings revealed that there was significant association betweenhypertensionlevelandage, gender,Education of the participant, Occupation of the participant, Duration since diagnosis ofhypertension, Family history of diabetes mellitus. But there is no association betweenhypertensionlevel and Religion, Marital status, Family income per –month. |
