Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease and an ongoing public health challenge. It is frequently the cause of cardiovascular disease, cerebral vascular disease, and increases the risk of renal failure. The purpose of this study was to explain the ongoing role of nursing in the controlling of blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients, included analyzing causes of the disease. This study was based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED framework of 3 factor groups, including predisposing factors, enabling factors, and reinforcing factors, and developed health behavior modification patterns by patients’ experience, nurses inserted body of knowledge, and encouragement with literature reviews. The results showed that nurses positively impact patient lifestyle health behavior modification and aid in determining self-efficacy. The encouragement of family participation also positively effects the control of blood pressure levels in patients.
