Abstract

The aims of this study is: To see the effect of education on blood pressure BMI, HR, QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults; To see the effect of education classes in addition to home exercise program on blood pressure BMI, HR, QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults; and Finally, to compare the effects of education class & education classes in addition to home exercise program on BP, BMI, HR & QOL in community based middle aged hypertensive adults. The study is conducted to see the effect of education classes and education classes in addition to home exercise program on 1.BMI, 2. Heart rate, 3. Systolic BP, 4. Diastolic BP and 5. Quality of life using SF-36. It is a quasi-experimental study. he main findings of the present study were that difference in means of BMI, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP and PCS score and MCS score scores of SF-36 (QOL) questionnaire were found to be statistically significant within group A and group B using paired t-test. In Group C an increase in BMI, HR Systolic BP and Diastolic BP were found, which were statistically significant. There was no change in PCS and MCS scores of SF-36 in group C. The change in Heart Rate, was not significant in group A, B & C. The present study was done to see the effect of education classes in addition to home exercise program in community based middle-aged hypertensive adults with mean age of 47.27±5.869 years in Group A, 44.87±3.720 years in Group B and 47.33±4.964 in Group. In the present study mean difference of HR was not found to be statistically significant within 3 groups. Mean difference of HR was not found to be statistically significant between three group A, B and C. In the present study mean difference of Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in Group A was found to be statistically significant. Mean difference of Systolic BP and Diastolic BP was found to be statistically significant between groups A, B and C. Difference in PCS and MCS scores of SF-36 (QOL) within the group A was found to be statistically significant in the present study. Mean difference of PCS and MCS between groups A & B was also found to be statistically significant. Difference in means in Group C of BMI, Systolic BP, Diastolic BP were increased and statistically significant. Difference in HR was not found to be statistically significant. In Group C PCS & MCS scores did not change pre & post intervention. As a result, it was concluded that, Education classes in middle aged hypertensive subjects decreases BMI, BP & improves QOL. Education + Home Exercise Program for 6 weeks decreases BMI, BP & improves QOL in middle aged hypertensive subjects. Education + exercise in more effective than education alone in decreasing BMI, BP & improves QOL.
