Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Scale for Evaluating the Success of Treatment Adherence and Lifestyle Change in Hypertensive Individuals	The scale consists of 18 questions. The questions were structured in a positive and negative way and the answers were expressed as a five-point likert. The contents of the questions were prepared to enlighten the subjects of medical treatment and clinical controls, communication with the physician, active lifestyle and physical activity, weight control, healthy nutrition and salt consumption, and disease awareness. After reverse scoring, if all items are given 5 points, the highest total score that can be obtained from the scale is 90. When all items are given 1 point, the lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 18. The scale cutoff point is 68. A score of less than 68 indicates low adherence to treatment, and a score of 68 and above indicates high adherence to treatment. An increase in the score on the scale indicates an increase in treatment compliance.	Baseline and sixth month

The questions were answered as Yes/No and in the evaluation; in questions 2 and 5 yes 1 point, no 0 points; In other questions, yes is 0 points, no is 1 point. If the total score obtained by the patient in questions 1, 2 and 6 is 0 or 1, it indicates low motivation level, and >1 indicates high motivation level.
