Abstract
The objectives of the study were to 1. determine the pre-test and post-test level of blood pressure among patients
with Hypertension in experimental and control group.2. assess the efficacy of Jacobson’s progressive muscle
relaxation exercise on blood pressure among patients with Hypertension in experimental group.3. Associate the
selected socio demographic variables with the level of blood pressure in experimental group. Hypothesis H0: There
will not be a significant difference between pre and post test level of blood pressure after Jacobson’s progressive
muscle relaxation exercise among patient with Hypertension in experimental and control group. H1: There will be a
significant decrease in the level of blood pressure after Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation exercise among
patient with Hypertension in experimental group. H2:There will be significant association between post test levels of
blood pressure with selected demographic variables in experimental group. H01: There will not be significant
association between post test levels of blood pressure with selected demographic variables in experimental group.
Review of literature was organised based on review related to Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation and
Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation on blood pressure. The tool was validated by experts and found to be valid
for the study. Sampling Technique: Sample was selected by using non probability convenience sampling method.
Results: the data was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive and inferential statistics. After the
detailed analysis this study leads to following conclusions, longer day of intervention shows significant decrease in
the level of blood pressure. Major findings show that there is significant decrease in the level of blood pressure after
Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation exercise among patient with Hypertension in experimental group. It was
statistically significant at (P<0.001). Hence the sta
