Background: The researcher emphasizes the need to implement effective and low cost management regimens based on absolute levels of cardiovascular risk appropriate for economic context. Studies that examine cost-effective approaches to control BP optimally among Indians are needed.
Aim & objectives: A study to assess the effectiveness of Piper betel leaf juice consumption in control of blood pressure among hypertensive clients.
Methodology: The study was conducted in selected community area at Madanapalle. The research design used was one group pre-test posttest experimental design. The samples were selected by convenient sampling technique. The sample size consisted of 30 hypertensive clients. The tool used for the data collection was a structured interview schedule to assess the level of knowledge regarding hypertension. The tool used to collect the data comprised of 3 sections. Data was collected for four weeks in the selected community area. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Results &Discussion: The mean post- test systolic blood pressure was 132.22, SD 11.53 and the mean pre- test systolic blood pressure was 144.94, SD 12.35. The mean post- test diastolic blood pressure was 86.83, SD 10.845and the mean pre- test diastolic blood pressure was 94.25, SD 8.853.
Conclusion: After the consumption of Piper betel leaf juice, the blood pressure was reduced to some extent.
