Description
Hypertension contributes to 7.5 million deaths or 12.8% of the total mortality rate globally, making
it one of the major health problems and is the leading cause of death every year. The high mortality and morbidity
rate of hypertension are related to depression and stress. Hence, preventive actions in reducing the stress levels
and blood pressure are required. Chromotherapy is a non-pharmacological therapy option to lower blood pressure
that has several advantages; inexpensive, easy implementation, and minimal side effects. This research aimed to
determine the effectiveness of chromotherapy on the stress level of patients with hypertension. This is a pre-andpost-test quasi-experimental study involving 120 patients with hypertension. The chromotherapy effectively
reduce stress level and blood pressure of the treatment group (p<0.05). Moreover, the mean score of stress level of
treatment group was decreased to 40.10 (± 10.516), while the control group experienced the opposite; an increased
mean score to 80.90 (± 12.288). Furthermore, the decreased blood pressure of treatment group was observed by
10-14 mmHg after chromotherapy treatment was given. The chromotherapy is a new innovation in
complimentary therapy and can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological treatment that effectively reduces stress level and blood pressure
