Abstract

BLOOD PRESSURE measurement is one of the most common tools for the diagnosis of health problems and it has, by itself, been used in treatment decisions for patients with hypertension. Suitable diagnoses and optimal treatment of hypertension depend on the accuracy of measurement by physician and nurses. Numerous factors influence an individual’s BP measurement, one of which is body position. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of LEG POSITION on the blood pressure. BLOOD PRESSURE measurement in 158 healthy persons was compared in two different LEG POSITIONs. At first, BLOOD PRESSURE was measured while the subjects were sitting on the chair and their feet were flat on the floor (Normal position). After 3minutes,the BLOOD PRESSURE was measured again with the subjects leg crossed at the knee(research position).All of the BLOOD PRESSURE measurement methods carried out were based on a standard check list. The results were analyzed using SPSS. It was revealed that the mean systolic BLOOD PRESSURE in normal position was109.17, while in the research position it was 113.40. The T-test with mean difference (-3.87) showed a significant difference between the mean systolic BP in normal and research positions (p<0.001) Also, the mean diastolic BP in normal position was 69.70 and in the research position, it was 73.15. The t.test with mean difference (-3.44) showed a significant difference between the mean diastolic BP in normal and research positions (p<0.001). Other results showed that BP increased with increase in age and there was no difference between the BP of single and married people, but BP in females was higher than in males (p<0.001).Considering the obvious difference in BP in the two LEG POSITIONs, it would be better to measure the BLOOD PRESSURE in the sitting position with both feet flat on the floor. By educating patients (those who measure their own BP at home) about the proper techniques of BLOOD PRESSURE measurement, we can decrease the rate of errors during BP measurement.
