Abstract

Abstract:
Aim. The purpose of the present research was to study effectiveness of group stress inoculation training (SIT) on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and life quality in the women involved  blood pressure.
 
Method: The method of research was semi experimental and with design is pretest- post test by control group. For sampling, by using of life quality questionnaire and manometer, 30 women that had low life quality and 130 above systolic and 90 above diastolic blood pressure were chosen on simple random basic and were divided on voluntarily  experimental and control groups. Experiment group received 10 sessions of SIT techniques an control group did not receive any training. After receiving of training, life quality and blood pressure  were measured for next time.
 
Results: Results showed systolic blood pressure (3.09) diastolic blood pressure (3.17)  life quality (3.30) P<0.05 revealed significant effect. Present investigation clarified importance SIT method on the decreasing systolic, diastolic blood pressure and increasing life quality of women.
 
Conclusion: This investigation showed with SIT training can cause decreasing of above blood pressure and increasing life quality of women
