About this study
Official title: The Effect of Health Belief Model-Based Interventions Delivered Via Telenursing to Individuals Diagnosed With Hypertension on Hypertension Self-Efficacy and Quality of Life
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of a Health Belief Model-based telenursing intervention on self-efficacy, quality of life, blood pressure, body mass index, and health behaviors in individuals with hypertension. A total of 78 participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=39) or control group (n=39). Participants in the intervention group received a 12-week telenursing intervention based on the Health Belief Model, including face-to-face education, training on home blood pressure monitoring, educational materials, weekly text messages, and telephone follow-up at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12. The control group received usual care. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Health Belief Model-Based Telenursing InterventionBehavioural
The intervention consisted of Health Belief Model-based education and a 12-week telenursing follow-up program. Participants received four telephone follow-up calls at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12, each lasting approximately 10-15 minutes. Weekly text messages were sent for 12 weeks to remind participants about blood pressure monitoring and to provide information about hypertension management. Participants could also contact the researcher when they needed additional support.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Participants received a 12-week Health Belief Model-based telenursing intervention in addition to routine care. The intervention included education, telephone follow-up, and weekly text messages. Receives: Behavioral: Health Belief Model-Based Telenursing Intervention |
| Control Group | No intervention | Participants received routine care without the Health Belief Model-based telenursing intervention. Outcome assessments were conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Hypertension Self-Efficacy
Hypertension self-efficacy was assessed using the Hypertension Self-Efficacy Scale (HSES). The scale consists of 20 items, with higher scores indicating higher hypertension self-efficacy.
Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Health-Related Quality of Life
Health-related quality of life was assessed using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), which provides Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Systolic Blood Pressure
Systolic blood pressure was measured in mmHg. Blood pressure measurements were obtained to evaluate changes in systolic blood pressure during the study.
Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic blood pressure was measured in mmHg. Blood pressure measurements were obtained to evaluate changes in diastolic blood pressure during the study.
Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Body Mass Index
Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
