  "abstract": "Hypertension requires continuous management through pharmacological therapy and complementary nursing interventions to support blood pressure control. Five-finger relaxation is a simple non-pharmacological technique that may promote relaxation and support hypertension management. This multiple-case report aimed to describe the application of five-finger relaxation and changes in blood pressure among two patients with hypertension. The intervention was administered for 15 minutes once daily for three consecutive days, while both patients continued their prescribed antihypertensive therapy. Blood pressure was measured using a calibrated digital sphygmomanometer before and after each session, and serial measurements were analyzed descriptively. Blood pressure decreased after each session in both patients. In Patient 1, mean blood pressure decreased from 162.7/94.0 to 155.3/90.0 mmHg, while in Patient 2, it decreased from 168.7/96.0 to 161.3/92.0 mmHg. Both patients demonstrated mean reductions of 7.3 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 4.0 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. No clinical deterioration was observed during the intervention period. These findings suggest that five-finger relaxation may serve as a simple complementary nursing intervention associated with short-term blood pressure reductions. However, its independent effectiveness cannot be established because both patients continued antihypertensive therapy and no comparison group was included.",
