RESUMO

The Hansen disease by its physiopatological and social aspects can promote the arising of stress and the development of cardiovascular diseases. The chronic stress causes high arterial systemic pressures. Dyspnea and tachycardia crisis can also occur in stressful situations. Objective To evaluate if the technique of Modified Jacobsons Progressive Muscular Relaxing is effective to reduce the indicative signs of cardiovascular stress. Method Aiming at dealing with those patients through a psychosomatic view, a relaxing technique called Modified Jacobsons Progressive Muscular Relaxing was used to evaluate its efficiency in reducing the following variables: arterial pressure, heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). The therapies were made with sixteen patients, who were between 20 and 75 years old (52.7 15.9 years old; average 56.6 years old), 56% male, twice a week, with one hour of duration, for ten sections. All the measures were made by only one person, before and after the therapy sections. The sections were made in groups of at most six people, with the people lying on mattresses. Results As a result, a significant reduction of HR (value p<0.0001) and RR (value p<0.0001) was obtained, but there wasnt any modification of the AP (value p=0.42 for Systolic Arterial Pressure and 0.24 for Diastolic Arterial Pressure. Conclusion This relaxing therapy, can be considered efficient to the patients in relation to the HR and RR; and, referring to the AP, it was not possible to detect a significant lowering .
