Abstract
Introduction: Stroke remains a major healthcare problem. After a stroke, majority patients often experience emotional and behavioral changes. Patients with impaired motor function typically experience a great deal of stress resulting from loss of motor control, pain, inability to perform functional tasks previously performed with ease and loss of control in life decisions. Patient's ADLs may be severely affected, he may experience emotional disturbance, agitation due to disability and in some cases panic attacks. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Jacobson’s relaxation technique and shavasana in reducing anxiety in post stroke patients. Methods: Thirty-six participants between the age of 40-60 years, with the clinical diagnosis of stroke were selected. Thirty-six participants were divided into two groups, Group-I received Jacobson’s relaxation technique (n=18) and Group-II received Jacobson’s relaxation technique followed by shavasana (n=18) both the groups were trained for 30 minutes, 3 days a week for 2 weeks. Results: After 2 weeks of treatment period, Group-II Jacobson’s relaxation technique followed by shavasana scored significantly higher with the HADS-A scale with ‘t’ values 11.363 and 14.653 respectively at p<0.05 thus proving that result of the study suggests that there is significant difference between pre and post-test in the study when “t” was performed. Conclusion: The Jacobson’s relaxation technique followed by shavasana was more effective in reducing anxiety as compared to only Jacobson’s relaxation technique in patients post stoke.
