What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adherence to Medication Self-Efficacy Scale

    The scale consists of 13 items and determines the self-efficacy/confidence level of adherence to drug treatments of individuals with hypertension. The scale is evaluated by scoring from 1 to 4 in each question. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 13, and the maximum score is 52. The increase in the scale score indicates that the compliance of individuals to antihypertensive drug treatment increases positively.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Rational Drug Use Scale

    The scale has 36 items and is a triple Likert type. Behavioral beliefs (items 1-9), Control beliefs (items 10-16), Attitude (items 17-21), Subjective norm (items 22-23), Intention (items 24-28), and Knowledge It has 6 sub-dimensions (items between 29 and 36). Scoring of scale items was never (0), sometimes (1), and always (2) for positive items; negative items (items 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 24) are calculated as never (2), sometimes (1), and always (0). The scores that can be obtained from the scale range from 0 to 72. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of rational drug use increases.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diastolic/Systolic blood pressure

    Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure will be measured.

    Measured: 12 weeks
