Abstract
A study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Garlic Cloves on Blood Pressure among Hypertensive Patients in a Selected Hospital, Salem. A Quantitative evaluative approach with Quasi experimental pre test and post test design study was conducted in Sri Gokulam hospital, Salem among 60 hypertensive patients by using non – probability convenience sampling technique, where each 30 patients were assigned to experimental and control group. Pre test was conducted on the 1st day by measuring the blood pressure for both experimental and control and 63 raw garlic cloves was given to each patients in experimental group and they have been instructed to chew 3 raw garlic cloves along with their breakfast a day for 21 days and to record it in the daily sheet which was provided. Post test was conducted on the 22nd day by measuring the blood pressure for both the group and data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical. The demographic variables among the experimental and control group regarding non smoker is 22 (73.33%), 23 (76.67%) and regarding exercise is 24 (80%), 20 (66.67%). In the pre test no patients had normal blood pressure and pre hypertension in both the experimental and control group. Among experimental and control group, stage I hypertension was 11 (36.67%), 10(33.33%) of patients and stage II hypertension was 19 (63.33%), 20 (66.67%) of patients respectively. The calculated ‘z’ value 3.27 is greater than the table value (1.96) at p<0.05 level. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is retained. In the experimental group significant association was found with the monthly income. There was no significant association with their selected demographic variables in control group. Hence the research hypothesis H2 is retained in experimental group and is rejected in control group.
