Description

Introduction: Emotional states significantly influence blood pressure
among hypertensive patients. This study explores the impact of Islamic
spiritual practices and emotional resilience in managing hypertension.
Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 Muslim participants
using a qualitative transcendental phenomenological approach.
Results: Analysis revealed five primary themes: 1) Suppression of anger
through Islamic teachings; 2) Enhanced resilience through religious
practices; 3) Improvement in mental relaxation via prayer and dhikr; 4)

Physical management to alleviate stress-related symptoms; 5) Socio-
cultural activities fostering mental stability.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that Islamic spiritual practices contribute
to emotional resilience by providing coping mechanisms that reduce
psychological stress, a known factor in elevated blood pressure.
Integrating spiritual, physical, and socio-cultural dimensions creates a
holistic approach that supports better hypertension control. This model
highlights the importance of culturally and spiritually tailored
interventions in chronic disease management. Integrating Islamic
spiritual, physical, and socio-cultural approaches enhances hypertension
management and patient well-being.
