Key result
Self-hypnosis linked to ~15-mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases, and self-hypnosis may influence blood pressure control in elderly hypertensive patients.
Does self-hypnosis reduce blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension?
Does self-hypnosis reduce blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 151.13% vs 166.53%
p-value: p=0.001
Self-hypnosis provides a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure among elderly patients with hypertension, suggesting utility as a non-pharmacological intervention.
Supports self-hypnosis as adjunctive BP option in elderly hypertension; leaves open confirmation by randomized trials.
Background: The prevalence of hypertension covers 100 million people aged 30–79 years in 184 countries, Hypertension is a major risk factor that causes diseases such as stroke, heart failure, stroke and nephrosis. Self hypnosis can control several organic functions such as bleeding, rapid heartbeat, blood pressure and so on. Aims: This study aims to determine the Effect of Self Hypnosis on Reducing Blood Pressure in the Elderly with Hypertension in the Rawasari Community Health Center Work Area, Jambi City. Methods: The population of this study was 1,408 people who visited the Rawasari Community Health Center who suffered from hypertension in 2024. The sampling method used was Purposive Sampling. The sample taken was 15 respondents. Results: The results of the study obtained Before Self Hypnosis, the average value of systolic blood pressure was 166.53 and diastolic 93.27 and after Self Hypnosis, the average value of systolic blood pressure was 151.13 and diastolic 83.07. The effect of Self Hypnosis on blood pressure in elderly with hypertension obtained the results of the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, namely systolic p = 0.001 and diastolic p = 0.001 < 0.05. So it can be interpreted that there is a significant difference in blood pressure before and after treatment on both variables. Conclusion: It can be concluded that H1 is accepted so that this shows that the treatment given has a significant impact on changes in blood pressure.

Putra et al. (2026) studied Hypertension (n=15). Self-hypnosis vs. Baseline (before self-hypnosis) was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (p=0.001). Self-hypnosis significantly reduced mean systolic (166.53 to 151.13) and diastolic (93.27 to 83.07) blood pressure in elderly patients with hypertension (p=0.001).
