Abstract

The effectiveness of nurse-led interventions on self-care management and restitutive behaviours among hypertensive patients is of interest. Conducted over four weeks in an urban primary health centre in Chennai, 100 participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received structured interventions, resulting in significant improvements in behavior and self-care (p < 0.001). The control group showed no significant changes. Thus, we show that nurse-led programs enhance patient engagement and adherence, emphasizing their role in managing hypertension effectively.

Keywords

Hypertension, nurse-led intervention, self-care management, restitutive behavior, patient education.
