“A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Guided Imagery on Hypertensive patients in selected areas of Ahmedabad, city Gujarat.” A Quasi experimental study was conducted to effectiveness of guided imagery on hypertensive patients on selected areas of Ahmedabad. The ‘general system model’ was used as conceptual framework. A quantitative approach with experimental study design was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The sample consisted of 60 from selected areas of Ahmedabad. The Quasi sampling technique was used to collect the sample. In the experimental group the mean of pretest hypertension was 149 with standard deviation 6.31 and post test mean was 133 with standard deviation 11.38. The control group mean of pretest was 149 with standard deviation 6.00 and post test mean was 146 with standard deviation 6.34. The calculated ‘f’ value was 51.0326 where as table value is 4.00 in 0.05 level which shows highly significant. So, the guided imagery was effective on hypertensive patients.
