Abstract   (22 Views)
Aim: Hypertension remains a significant global health challenge, ranking among the most prevalent and enduring non-communicable chronic diseases.
Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a educational intervention, explicitly developed on the basis of Orem’s self-care theoretical framework. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which received the Orem-based educational program, or a control group that received standard care.
Finding: A total of 80 adults with hypertension, with a mean age of 44.16 ± 4.60 years, were enrolled in the study. Baseline assessments indicated no statistically significant differences between the control and intervention groups in terms of quality of life, lifestyle behaviors, or self-care capacity. However, follow-up evaluations conducted immediately after the intervention, as well as at one-month and three-month intervals, revealed statistically significant improvements across all measured outcomes in the intervention group.
Conclusion: The implementation of an Orem-based self-care educational intervention led to meaningful short-term improvements in quality of life, health-promoting behaviors among individuals managing hypertension. These findings advocate for the integration of similar evidence-based approaches into clinical practice and healthcare policy to support sustainable health outcomes for individuals living with chronic illnesses such as hypertension.
