Effect of Relaxation Therapy on Mild Pregnancy Induced Hypertension

The study analyses the Effectiveness of relaxation therapy on the level of stress and physiological parameters among the antenatal mothers with mild pregnancy induced hypertension. Quasi experimental approach was adopted in the study to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation therapy on the level of stress and physiological parameters. One group pre-test post-test research design was selected for the study. Determining an objective cause and effect relationship between relaxation therapy and level of stress and physiological parameters were a challenging effort. Since the difference in mean post therapy score is evident, however minor it may be, its implication is far reaching. It was an enriching professional experience for the investigator. As this study has opened up a new zone for independent nursing practice, its potentiality requires further exploration.
