HHypertension is the most crucial risk factor for fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular disease in India. The collaborative and proactive interventions is a combination package of yoga and cognitive behavior therapy for modifying negative thought process. A true experimental design was adopted for this study to assess the effectiveness of collaborative and proactive interventions on psychological and physiological variables among 280 hypertensive patients, selected through simple random sampling technique at selected community and randomized to 140 in control and 140 in experimental group. The data was collected using the pretested and validated tools such as background characteristics performa, perceived stress scale, COPE coping questionnaire through self-reporting method. Blood pressure was assessed by using Aneroid BP apparatus and recorded in the BP monitoring sheet. The collaborative and proactive interventions were administered for the experimental group for one hour/day up to 2 weeks. The posttest assessments of psychological and physiological variables were done at the end of 2nd week, first and third month. The study findings revealed that the collaborative and proactive interventions was effective in significant reduction of the stress, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improvement in the coping scores (p0.001). The studys findings support the notion that proactive and cooperative interventions can effectively lower stress and increase coping mechanisms, both of which can lead to better blood pressure regulation. There fore health care providers, particularly nurses, play a crucial role in assisting hypertension patients in properly coping with stress and maintaining their blood pressur..
