Background of the Study
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with stress being a recognized contributing factor to their onset and progression. In Yobe State, like many regions in Nigeria, the prevalence of CVDs is rising due to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and chronic stress. Stress, especially chronic psychological stress, has been linked to high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and inflammation, all of which contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Despite the known effects of stress on heart health, there is limited research on stress management techniques and their role in reducing CVD risk in Yobe State. This study aims to evaluate the role of stress management practices in mitigating cardiovascular disease prevalence and improving heart health in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Chronic stress is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in Yobe State, where many individuals face socioeconomic challenges and lack access to effective healthcare. Stress management practices, such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and exercise, are not widely adopted or integrated into public health strategies. This study aims to assess the impact of stress management on reducing the risk of CVDs and identify effective stress-relieving interventions for the residents of Yobe State.
Objectives of the Study
- To examine the relationship between chronic stress and the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in Yobe State.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of stress management techniques in reducing the incidence of CVDs.
- To explore the barriers to adopting stress management practices in Yobe State and propose strategies for overcoming them.
Research Questions
- What is the relationship between chronic stress and cardiovascular disease prevalence in Yobe State?
- How effective are stress management techniques, such as mindfulness and relaxation exercises, in reducing cardiovascular disease risks?
- What are the barriers to adopting stress management practices in Yobe State?
Research Hypotheses
- Chronic stress is positively correlated with the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in Yobe State.
- Effective stress management techniques, such as relaxation and exercise, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in Yobe State.
- Socioeconomic factors and lack of awareness hinder the adoption of stress management practices in Yobe State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on adults aged 25-60 in Yobe State, specifically in urban and rural areas. Limitations may include challenges in measuring subjective stress levels and the availability of consistent data on cardiovascular health.
