Abstract: Background and purpose: Cardiovascular disease frequently coexists with psychiatric disorders. The cardiovascular disease and psychiatric disease is not two independent illnesses. The development of cardiac disease occurs as a complication of emotional or psychiatric problems and conversely, the development of psychiatric disorders are also seen as complications of cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted to assess the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercise on anxiety and depression with coronary artery disease patients in a selected hospital Kolkata. Methods: Forty Coronary artery disease patients were selected by randomized technique. One group pre-test with multiple time treatment intervention research design was applied. On 1st day anxiety and depression were assessed and followed by video-based teaching on progressive muscle relaxation exercise was given. Then patient were practicing progressive muscle relaxation exercise from second to sixth day under supervision. Patients performed progressive muscle relaxation exercise in presence of investigator and it was checked through criteria checklist. Results: Out of forty patients, 25% patient had severe depression and 55% patient had moderate anxiety in pre-test but after administration of progressive muscle relaxation exercise it reduced by 2.5% and 22.5% respectively. This difference was statistically significant as evident from t value (6.68) Conclusion: Non-pharmacological therapy i.e progressive muscle relaxation exercise is very much effective in reducing anxiety and depression among coronary artery disease patient. So Progressive muscle relaxation technique is needed as a part of other therapies and to be practiced by the nurse in the day to-day activities.


Keywords:Progressive muscle relaxation techniques, anxiety, depression, coronary artery disease patients.
