<![CDATA[Introduction: Stroke is characterized by neurological deficits resulting fromacute focal injury to the central nervous system, originating from blood vessels such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Stress is a known trigger for stroke and various therapies are available to manage stress. This study explores the effectiveness of a mind body therapy, specifically the HENS application on Android in reducing stress in post stroke patients.Method: The study employs a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test with control group. The sampling technique in the study was convenience sampling with a sample size of 48 post-stroke patients (24 for each intervention and control group). Data was collected using the DASS questionnaire and the HENS application.Results: The results revealed significant changes in stress levels before and after the six-day intervention with the HENS Application. The intervention group showed a p value=0.000 indicating a significant reduction in stress levels. In contrast, the control group’s p value was 0.853, suggesting no significant change without treatment.Conclusions: The HENS application has the potential to provide post-stroke patients with independent support for managing stress. It offers clear and useful guidelines for implementing HENS techniques which can improve confidence of post stroke patients in independently managing stress.]]>
