The research was organized in an experimental design with pre-test post-test control group. The population of the research consists of primary hypertensive patients registered in Family Health Centers in Tosya district of Kastamonu province. Sample, effect size 0.25; By taking the alpha value of 0.05 and the power of 0.80, the minimum number of samples was calculated as 82. Considering that there may be data losses, it is planned to include a total of 102 people, 51 in the intervention and control groups, in the sample group. In data collection, the "Patient Information Form", "Blood pressure follow-up form" prepared by the researcher, and the adaptation to Turkish will be collected with the help of the "Drug Adherence/Compliance Self-Efficacy Scale" prepared by Gözüm and Hacıhasanoğlu in 2005. Health belief model-based smartphone-assisted nursing care program application will be installed on the phones of the patients who will be in the intervention group.
