BackgroundHypertension is a significant contributor to both illness and death on a global scale. One method of managing blood pressure is through adopting a healthy lifestyle and implementing blood pressure control measures, with or without the use of medication. The objective of the review paper is to elucidate the impact of mindfulness therapies on both blood pressure and stress levels in individuals diagnosed with hypertension.MethodThe research approach employed is literature observation, wherein relevant papers published between January 2019 and December 2023 are sought by conducting searches in four databases: Scopus and Science Direct. The search criteria include publications written in English, available in open access, and with full text. The study investigates the impact of mindfulness therapies on blood pressure and stress levels in individuals with hypertension, using Proquest and CINAHL as research databasesResultsA total of 14 papers have undergone evaluation. The primary emphasis lies in mindfulness techniques aimed at lowering blood pressure and alleviating stress. A mindfulness intervention was administered in group settings, with a duration of 2 hours per week for a period of 8 weeks. Subsequently, participants engage in physical activity inside the confines of their own homes, dedicating a minimum of 45 minutes per day for a duration of 6 to 10 days per week. They also monitor their blood pressure and stress levels. Blood pressure measurements are derived from the mean of three measurements done thrice day. Following the implementation of the mindfulness intervention, there was a notable reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among the intervention group, as compared to the first measurement. The investigation revealed substantial disparities between the experimental and control groups in the mean scores of positive stress (P = 0.001) and negative stress (P = 0.001).ConclusionMindfulness can be a straightforward and cost-effective method for enhancing blood pressure and reducing stress.
