Abstract
Through this article, the researchers aim to identify the impact of a recreational sports program on enhancing psychological hardiness among hypertensive patients and determine its effect on their psychological hardiness (commitment, control, and challenge). Furthermore, it seeks to highlight the psychological problems faced by hypertensive patients and how to address them through recreational sports practice. The article also emphasizes the positive benefits of these activities, which help improve and develop the psychological state of hypertensive patients. The researchers used the descriptive-analytical method to answer the proposed hypotheses and employed the psychological hardiness scale. The study sample consisted of 8 individuals suffering from hypertension in Laghouat Province. The researchers concluded that recreational sports programs are vital as they are essential to managing and treating hypertension. Physical activity also contributes to enhancing adherence to treatment and healthcare in general.
