Abstract

          This systematic review aimed to study the patterns and outcomes of the research studies related to the non-pharmacological treatment for hypertension by searching databases listed between 2006 and 2016. The characteristics of research studies were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency and percentage. Content analysis was used to analyze the data regarding the management and management outcomes for hypertension. The data-based searching yield 34 studies regarding non-pharmacological management of hypertension in adults but only 17 studies passed the research screening and quality assessment criteria. Of the 17 studies, 14 studies met the criteria of level 2 for evidence-based criteria. The review found three types of hypertensive management: 1) mixed methods, 2) exercise, and 3) relaxation techniques by religious practice. These three types of managements could decrese both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reduce stress and risk for cardiovascular accidents, and increase self-care behaviors including exercise and low-salt diet. The results of the study show that public health personnel can adopt the non-phamarcological management of high blood pressure to modify patient behaviors. However, there should be experimental research studies and long-term follow-up of the outcomes to provide a clearer pattern of management for hypertension.
