Background of the Study
Stress is a known risk factor for various health problems, including hypertension (high blood pressure), which is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease globally. In Katsina State, as in many parts of Nigeria, stress levels are rising due to socio-economic factors, lifestyle changes, and limited access to healthcare services. Chronic stress can contribute to elevated blood pressure, increasing the risk of developing hypertension, stroke, and heart disease. However, studies have shown that managing stress through techniques such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness, and physical activity can significantly reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
Despite the known benefits of stress management techniques, there is limited research on their effectiveness in controlling blood pressure in Katsina State. This study aims to evaluate the impact of stress management techniques on blood pressure control among individuals in Katsina State. Understanding the relationship between stress management and blood pressure control could inform the development of effective public health interventions in the state.
Statement of the Problem
Hypertension is a growing health issue in Katsina State, with stress being a significant contributing factor. While stress management techniques are known to have positive effects on blood pressure control, these techniques are underutilized in the region. The lack of accessible resources and awareness about effective stress management practices hinders their widespread adoption. This study seeks to address this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of stress management techniques in controlling blood pressure among individuals in Katsina State.

2. Relaxation exercises and physical activity are the most effective stress management techniques in reducing blood pressure in Katsina State.
3. Incorporating stress management techniques into hypertension management programs will improve blood pressure control in Katsina State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on evaluating the effectiveness of stress management techniques in controlling blood pressure among residents of Katsina State. Limitations may include the difficulty of measuring long-term outcomes and the reliance on self-reported stress levels and blood pressure readings.
