What this trial studies

This interventional study examines the impact of an educational program added to standard medical care for adults with hypertension. Participants will receive education on hypertension management alongside usual treatment, with outcomes focused on knowledge, self-management skills, and blood pressure control. The study will enroll adults 18 and older who have had hypertension for at least six months and who are literate and able to participate in Turkish. It will be conducted at Batman Training and Research Hospital under Inonu University, with both outpatients and inpatients eligible. The approach builds on prior evidence that education can improve adherence, lifestyle choices, and quality of life for people living with hypertension.
