Description
Introduction: The high incidence of hypertension can have an impact on
increasing death rates in the world because it can cause heart failure and
coronary heart disease and increase the risk of stroke. A strong emphasis
on managing essential HTN with non-pharmacological interventions
involving multiple elements of lifestyle modification, focusing on more
permanent measures to help improve the overall quality of life and
decrease physician dependence and hospitalizations of severe
complications. This study aimed to explore the effect of Benson relaxation
therapy on blood pressure in older adults with hypertension.
Methods: The method used in this literature review was to examine the
results of previous research in published articles. Article searches were
carried out via PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using the
keywords "Benson Relaxation," "Blood Pressure," AND "Hypertensive
Older adults," as well as combinations of these keywords such as "Benson
relaxation on older adults hypertensive blood pressure." Fifteen articles
were extracted based on the inclusion that Benson relaxation and other
relaxation treatments significantly reduced blood pressure values in
hypertension sufferers.
Results: There were 15 articles focused on Benson therapy. Eleven studies
were of pre-experimental study design. The remaining studies were case
study groups (two) and one randomized control study. All of the articles
combine deep breathing relaxation and religious relaxation.
Conclusion: Benson relaxation has a significant effect on reducing blood
pressure values in hypertension sufferers.
