Hypertension is a significant general health issue in India and world, due to its high recurrence and corresponding, there is a danger of cardiovascular and kidney disorders. The hypertension makes individuals multiple times more inclined to stroke and multiple times bound to have coronary failures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of deep breathing exercise on blood pressure among patients with hypertension. A Quasi-Experimental one Group Pre-test Post-test design was adopted. A sample of 50 Hypertensive patients was selected using convenient sampling technique at Urban Primary Heath Centre, Koyambedu. Data on demographic variables were assessed. Deep breathing exercise was demonstrated to the participants and their level of blood pressure was measured by sphygmomanometer before and after the intervention. The result displays that Inpre-testout of 50 samples, (48%) had pre-hypertension, (40%) had Stage I hypertension, (8%) had Stage II hypertension and (4%) have Normal Blood Pressure. Whereas after intervention, Post-test results shows that out of 50 samples (46%) have Normal Blood Pressure, (50%) had Pre-hypertension and (4%) had Stage I Hypertension among clients with Hypertension. The pretest mean score among patients with Hypertension was 125.5 with standard deviation 11.352 and posttest mean score among patient with Hypertension was1107 with standard deviation9.090. The calculated paired 't' test value is t=7.971 was found to be statistically significant at p value<.0001. Thus, there was a reduction in the level of blood pressure after deep breathing exercise among posttest group patients.
India is experiencing a demographic change with a descent in fertility rate and growth in life expectancy. Before long, we will confront another test with a fast increment in the quantity of matured and the related wellbeing and social issues, as enormous greater part of populace will move from working ages to mature ages, consequently expanding the mature age dependency. Under this specific situation, we ought to utilize to the mature age scheme in India to preview our degree of readiness in embracing this challenge. The current investigation intends to evaluate the awareness and utilization of geriatric welfare services among geriatric population. A descriptive research design with purposive sampling technique was adopted to conduct a study at urban primary health centre in saidapet among urban elderly people who are under the geriatric scheme. Data were gathered using a self-structured questionnaire through a structured interview method. The outcomes portray that majority of them 20(66.7%) had good awareness and utilization of geriatric scheme and10(33.3%) had average awareness and utilization of geriatric scheme among urban elderly.The examination likewise uncovers the mean score of awareness and utilization of geriatric scheme among urban elderly was 11.23 with standard deviation of 1.71.There was a factually huge relationshipof demographic variable (age) with level of utilization and awareness of geriatric scheme among urban elderly at p< 0.05 level and the other demographic variables had not indicated measurably noteworthy relationship with level of utilization and awareness of geriatric scheme among urban elderly.
