Abstract
A study to assess the effect of oral supplementation of Amlajuice with honey vs. garlic on Blood pressure and selected complaints among clients with hypertension in a selected community at Tirupur. The aim of the study was to identify whether Garlic and Amla juice with honey has any effect on the Blood pressure and selected complaints among hypertensive patients. The conceptual frame work adopted for this study was modified Sr.Callista Roy's adaptation theory. A quasi- experimental pre- test and post test control group design was used. The sample size consisted of 72 hypertensive individuals (24 samples in experimental group I,24 samples in experimental group II and 24 samples in control group), selected by non probability purposive sampling technique. The experimental group I received 15ml Amla juice with honey and experimental group II received 2 gram of garlic gloves for 30 days. Pre and post intervention assessment of blood pressure was done using manual sphygmomanometer and the selected complaints were assessed using a rating scale for experimental and control groups. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Major findings of the study were in the experimental group I 12 samples (50%) had stage II Hypertension,10 samples (41.7%) had stage I Hypertension and 2 samples (8.3%) had pre Hypertension before the intervention. In the experimental group II 17 samples (70.8%) had stage II Hypertension,6 samples (25%) had stage I Hypertension, 1 sample (4.2%) had pre Hypertension. After the intervention in the experimental group I 21 samples (87.5%) moved to pre Hypertension, only 3 samples (12.5%) had stage I Hypertension and no samples had stage II Hypertension. In the experimental group II 22 samples (91.7%) moved to pre hypertension, Only 2 (8.3%) had stage I Hypertension and no samples had stage II Hypertension. Among all the samples 72 (100%) (before intervention) in the two experimental groups and control groups majority of the samples 17 to 24 (70.8 - 100%) had moderate selected complaints, 3 to 7 (12.5 - 29.2%) had severe selected complaints and only 1 (4.2%) had mild complaints. After 30th day of intervention, In experimental group I 23 (95.8%) samples had mild complaints 1 (4.2%) sample had no complaints and no samples had severe complaints. In experimental group II 23 (95.8%) samples had mild complaints, 1 (4.2%) sample had moderate complaints and no samples are had severe complaints. But in control group majority of the samples 20 (83.3%) had moderate complaints and4 (16.7%) samples had severe complaints. There was a significant association between level of complaints and duration of treatment and there was no significant association between level of selected complaints and other demographic variables before the intervention. The findings of the study concluded that there was reduction of blood pressure and selected complaints in two experimental groups after intervention compared to control group. It is clear that taking Amla juice with honey ,garlic are effective, feasible, low cost methods to reduce the blood pressure and selected complaints of clients with hypertension.
