Introduction: Blood pressure measurement is a basic clinical procedure and perhaps the most frequently performed clinical procedure in any
health care setting, it strongly depends both on the number of measurements and the body position during the procedure. Many important
therapeutic decisions rely on the accuracy of assessment, unfortunately, blood pressure measurement is one of the most inaccurately
performed procedure done by healthcare provider. Inspire of studies having shown that many errors are made while recording BP, crucial
decisions about treatment are made based on these inaccurate measurements.
OBJECTIVES1.To assess the effects of standing position on blood pressure reading among Normotensive Subject. 2.To assess the effects
of sitting position on blood pressure reading among Normotensive Subject. 3.To determine comparison between the effects of Standing
position & Sitting position on blood pressure reading among normotensive Subject. 4.To examine the association between Standing position
& Sitting position with selected demographic variable among normotensive subjects. AIM: The aim of the study to identify differences in
blood pressure changes according to body position.
Materials And Methods: The sample consisted 80 Normotensive Subjects From selected hospitals in Nadiad City. The Demographic data
were collected using a Self Structured Questionnaire. The Self Structured Blood Pressure record sheet was used .
Results: In our study, With regard to level of blood pressure among normotensive subjects in sitting position, 53 (66.25%) are normal, 23
(28.75%) are pre-hypertensive, 3 (3.75%) are at stage-1, 1 (1.25%) are having hypotension, 0(0) are not having any hypertensive disorders
out of 80 normotensive subjects.With regard to level of blood pressure among normotensive subjects in standing position, 44 (55%) are
normal, 29 (36.25) are pre-hypertensive, 6 (7.50%) are at stage-1, 1 (1.25%) are having hypotension, 0(0) are not having any hypertensive
disorders out of 80 normotensive subjects.
Conclusion: this study reports the Effect of Standing Position & Sitting Position on Blood Pressure Reading among Normotensive Subject .
Majority of the subjects had higher blood pressure in standing position. The study found that the blood presssure is higher in the standing
position than in the sitting position.
Keywords: Assess, Comparative, Effects, Standing Position, Sitting Position, Normotensive, Blood Pressure.
INTRODUCTION
Blood Pressure Monitoring is one of the most commonly used technique in the diagnosis and treatment of various health care
problems.1Hypertension affects hundreds of millions of subject worldwide and currently represents a major public health issue
in the agenda of all developed countries. Both for the identification and clinical management of hypertensive subjects, the
measurement of blood presssure is a crucial practice.5,7unfortunately, the blood pressure measurement is one of the most
inaccurately performed procedure done by healthcare provider. Crucial decisions about treatment are based on these inaccurate
measurements4. An individual`s Blood Pressure measurement is influence by many factors including age, weight, physical
condition, past illness, time of the day, alltitudee, activity and climate in daily clinical practice, body position is neglected while
taking blood pressure reading and considering that as baseline drug dosage are adjusted. One of the ignore factors while
recording blood pressure is crossing of legs which causes pooling of blood in legs due to compression of the veins, thus affecting
the correct BP reading.6Blood Pressure is the Force that`s exerted by your blood on the wall of your arteries. It`s known

changing position can impact your blood pressure reading. However, there`s some disagreement about whether readings are
higher or lower when you`re Sitting. Currently, the American Heart Association recommends that blood pressure reading be
taken when you`re sitting down. 2when individual stand up from lying down or sitting, a small momentary dip in blood pressure
occurs in the first few seconds. This occurs because gravity causes about 0.5 to 1.0 liters of blood to pool in lower body.3those
individual with larger differences in blood pressure as measured in supine or sitting position may be at risk of substancial
changes in their therapeutic history according to the position of the measurement. 8The purpose of the study to identify
differences in blood pressure changes according to body position by age group , In the present study we have investigated the
influence of several body position including sitting position and standing position on the indirect blood pressure measurements
in normotensive subjects. To obtain objective readings the blood pressure was measured semi automatically with an
oscillometric sphygmomanometer device proven to register the blood pressure accurately.
Objective of the study were
To assess the effects of standing position on bloodpressure reading among Normotensive Subject.
To assess the effects of sitting position on blood pressure reading among Normotensive Subject.
To determine compression between the effects of Standing position & Sitting position on blood pressure reading among
normotensive Subject.
To examine the association between Standing position & Sitting position with selected demographic variable among
normotensive subjects.
Methods:
A descriptive comparative study was conducted in 2022 by distributing a self structured questionnaire among normotensive
subjects. A brief description of study objectives was explained and by convenience, those who agrred to respond to the
questionnaire confirmed their agreement through signing the consent form. Participants who were not willing to participate,
People Who Are Not Available At the Time of Data Collection, Individuals Who Are Having Breathing Difficulty and
Giddiness at the Time of Data Collection Procedure and Individuals in Acute Pain or any Serious Health Problem Arises At the
time of Data Collectionwere excluded.This study was approved by the institutional research committee of the Dinsha Patel
College of Nursing, Gujarat. Participation was voluntary with assurance about the confidentiality of their information, as no
identifiers or personal information were collected.
The data collection tool comprised of 2 sections, namely the participant`s demographic details, the blood pressure recording
sheet. participant`s detail include age (years), gender, height, weight, education, occupation, family history of hypertension,
food habit, bad habit and exercise. The concurrent validity and reliability were obtained by (karl pearson) data were analyzed
using inferential and regressive analysis.

INTRODUCTION Blood Pressure Monitoring is one of the most commonly used technique in the diagnosis and treatment of various health care problems.1Hypertension affects hundreds of millions of subject worldwide and currently represents a major public health issue in the agenda of all developed countries. Both for the identification and clinical management of hypertensive subjects, the measurement of blood presssure is a crucial practice.5,7unfortunately, the blood pressure measurement is one of the most inaccurately performed procedure done by healthcare provider. Crucial decisions about treatment are based on these inaccurate measurements4. An individual`s Blood Pressure measurement is influence by many factors including age, weight, physical condition, past illness, time of the day, alltitudee, activity and climate in daily clinical practice, body position is neglected while taking blood pressure reading and considering that as baseline drug dosage are adjusted. One of the ignore factors while recording blood pressure is crossing of legs which causes pooling of blood in legs due to compression of the veins, thus affecting the correct BP reading.6Blood Pressure is the Force that`s exerted by your blood on the wall of your arteries. It`s known
  • 2. Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results ¦ Volume 13 ¦ Special Issue 6 ¦ 2022 935 changing position can impact your blood pressure reading. However, there`s some disagreement about whether readings are higher or lower when you`re Sitting. Currently, the American Heart Association recommends that blood pressure reading be taken when you`re sitting down. 2when individual stand up from lying down or sitting, a small momentary dip in blood pressure occurs in the first few seconds. This occurs because gravity causes about 0.5 to 1.0 liters of blood to pool in lower body.3those individual with larger differences in blood pressure as measured in supine or sitting position may be at risk of substancial changes in their therapeutic history according to the position of the measurement. 8The purpose of the study to identify differences in blood pressure changes according to body position by age group , In the present study we have investigated the influence of several body position including sitting position and standing position on the indirect blood pressure measurements in normotensive subjects. To obtain objective readings the blood pressure was measured semi automatically with an oscillometric sphygmomanometer device proven to register the blood pressure accurately. Objective of the study were To assess the effects of standing position on bloodpressure reading among Normotensive Subject. To assess the effects of sitting position on blood pressure reading among Normotensive Subject. To determine compression between the effects of Standing position & Sitting position on blood pressure reading among normotensive Subject. To examine the association between Standing position & Sitting position with selected demographic variable among normotensive subjects.

There was no statistical significance between the level of blood pressure in sitting position with other sociodemographic variables like age, education, occupation, food habits, exercise and family history of hypertensions etc. Table 5 Summary of t values for blood pressure in Sitting and standing position Level of BP SITTING STANDING Difference in Mean ‘t’ test p-value Mean SD Mean% Mean SD Mean% SYSTOLIC BP 110.9 11.39 1.27 112.1 11.4 1.27 1.16 1.68 0.096(NS) DIASTOLIC BP 78.67 8.57 0.95 81.57 7.46 0.83 2.9 4.83 P<0.001***(HS) The t-test shows that the systolic blood pressure is 1.68 where the chi-square is 0.06 which is not significant. The t-test shows that the diastolic blood pressure is 4.83 where the chi-square is P<0.001*** (HS) which is highly significant. DISCUSSION: The finding of the study was discussed with the objectives and hypothesis stated. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Standing & Sitting position on Blood Pressure reading among normotensive subjects between the age of 20 to 50. The mean difference between sitting and standing position in systolic blood pressure is 1.16. The mean difference between sitting and standing position in diastolic blood pressure is 2.9. CONCLUSION: This study reports the Effect of Standing Position & Sitting Position on Blood Pressure Reading among Normotensive Subject. Majority of the subjects had higher blood pressure in standing position. The study found that the blood presssure is higher in the standing position than in the sitting position.
