Clinical Trial Summary
Hypertension is an important public health problem in our country and in the world. For
success in hypertension treatment, timely and accurate diagnosis of patients, effective
implementation of lifestyle changes, timely initiation of drug therapy and effective drug
compliance are emphasized. The rapid adoption of smartphone technology provides a promising
platform for overcoming drug non-compliance by providing medication intake reminders, healthy
lifestyle education. It is emphasized that the health belief model can be used in the
self-management of the hypertension patient's health and in the regulation of services with
smart phone applications. Based on these facts, this study was planned to examine the effect
of the smart phone management system supported nursing care program given by the nurse to the
primary hypertension patients registered in the Family Health Center on the patient's
compliance with the treatment and the blood pressure staying within the target limits. 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. It is planned to include a total of
102 people, 51 in the intervention and control groups, in the sample group.

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. After the application is
started to be used, patients will be notified every two weeks for six months for the disease
management process to have nutrition, exercise and doctor control processes. Patients will be
able to send a message to the nurse through the application. Messages will be answered
regularly on a designated day each week. The data will be collected by face-to-face interview
method after necessary explanations and necessary consents are obtained by the researchers.
One month after the posttest application (second data), application predicate and usage, the
third data (1st follow-up) will be collected in the 3rd month, the fourth data (2nd
follow-up) will be collected in the 6th month.
