- Abstract
Hypertension is a major public health problem and the key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in adults. This study aims to determine the effect of brief hypnotic induction methods on lowering hypertension in adults. The intervention method utilized in this study involved brief hypnotic induction. This study used a digital tension meter to measure blood pressure and an oximeter to measure heart rate before and after the induction. The results indicated that all participants (N=37) decreased their systolic blood pressure (p=0.008; p<0,05) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.041; p<0,05) after intervention. In addition, heart rate also decreased (p=0.000; p<0,05) from baseline to intervention. The changes before and after induction between systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate were 4.730 mmHg, 3.676 mmHg, 7,270 mmHg respectively. This study concludes that brief hypnotic induction methods have effective to decrease blood pressure and heart rate in adults with hypertension. Further, the results provide an alternative brief intervention for clinical psychologists and health workers as an effort to reduce adult hypertension.
