Core Tip

Core Tip: Health education interventions based on the health belief model (HBM) significantly improve blood pressure control and health beliefs in patients with hypertension. This study, conducted in China from 2021 to 2023, demonstrated that patients who received HBM-based education had lower blood pressure, better medication adherence, and improved self-efficacy than those who received routine care. Implementing such interventions in clinical and community settings can effectively help patients with hypertension manage their condition and enhance their overall health outcomes.
