Effects of SKT1 on the reduction of blood pressure in pregnant women

Abstract

This research is a quasi-experimental research. The purpose of this study was to compare the blood pressure level in pregnant women with hypertension before and after the experimental group. Comparison of blood pressure in pregnant women with hypertension among the experimental group and control group. The sample is Pregnant women with high blood pressure. And 82 patients at the Damnoensaduak hospital. The instruments used included the SKT1 respiratory training program and the personal data recorder. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, Repeated measure One-way ANOVA, One way Analysis of Covariance.

The research found that:. Comparison of mean blood pressure before and after exercise with SKT 1 in the experimental group showed that the mean, systolic and diastolic pressure in the experimental group decreased significantly. Statistics at .001 level in all evaluation periods. Comparison of mean blood pressure between experimental group and control group showed that the mean of systolic and diastolic pressure was significantly lower than that of control group. 001 at all times of evaluation.

The findings suggest that SKT1 breathing exercises are another option that can be used by pregnant women in practice to lower blood pressure. Reduce complications or dangers the effect of high blood pressure during pregnancy. And reduce the risk of drug use both maternal and fetal.
