This study examined the effect of guided imagery visualization on stress of individuals with hypertensive patients. A pre and post test group design was selected for this study. The randomized control trial (RCT) in which subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups thirty samples in each groups: the study group received the intervention of guided imagery that is being tested, and the other group control received a usual treatment care.

In post test its observed that mean and standard deviation of study group stress level was found to be reduced distinctly on 21 days itself, followed by greater reduction in 3months mean and standard deviation of 7.133 and 3.5109. Whereas in control group stress level changes were not noted its found to be same level.
