Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases; thus, effective education is required in
order to enhance hypertensive patients’ lifestyles. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of
lifestyle education on hypertensive patients’ knowledge and performance.
This quasi-experimental study was performed on 50 patients with essential hypertension who were
selected by convenient sampling in Peymanieh Hospital in Jahrom City during 2011-2012. The data
collection tool consisted of a researcher-made questionnaire and cheek list which were completed by
the patients one month before and after the intervention. Intervention was conducted by written and
oral educational programs. Findings were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 and paired t-test.
