Considering that theory-based educational practices alone are not sufficient in the management of HT and that a multifaceted perspective must be developed, in addition to the education based on the ADL nursing model, the conscious awareness approach, which is effective in stress management with its easy integration into daily life, has also been included in this program. In this way, individuals can gain experience and reach self-awareness as a result of theory and skill-based training and feel more motivated to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors. Multicomponent interventions offer a more comprehensive approach by combining a variety of methods, such as mindfulness, exercise, and dietary changes, as well as educational programs. Such integrated interventions can positively impact both individuals' knowledge and lifestyle habits, providing more effective results in the management of HT and contributing to long-term health improvements.
In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the training program, structured according to Roper, Logan and Tierney's ADL nursing model and supported by awareness, on self-care, treatment compliance and healthy lifestyle behaviors in individuals with HT. This research is the first randomized controlled study in which the effects of a training program that is suitable for our country's patient profile for HT self-management, shaped according to multidimensional and up-to-date guidelines, that can encourage participants to change behavior, are tested. It has the potential to provide unique contributions to the field with its potential to create infrastructure.
