Study summary

Educational interventions play an extensive role in the literature on hypertension disease management. It has been reported that patient education practices increase individuals' level of knowledge, improve sleep and quality of life, ensure the control of hypertension, are effective in developing self-management skills, reduce body weight and body mass index, are effective in controlling harmful lifestyle habits, increase treatment adherence and healthy lifestyle behaviors, improve health literacy and self-efficacy levels, positively affect rational medication use, and strengthen adaptation to the disease. Accordingly, educational interventions for patients with hypertension play a fundamental role in improving treatment success and long-term health outcomes by supporting individuals' active participation in disease management. However, most studies conducted in the context of hypertension have focused on medication adherence, blood pressure control, or the physiological effects of lifestyle changes. In contrast, no study examining the effects of educational interventions for disease management on the health perception and burnout levels of individuals with hypertension has been found in the literature. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of disease management education provided to individuals diagnosed with hypertension on their health perception and burnout levels. The study aims to provide practical implications for both individual patient outcomes (psychosocial variables) and healthcare practices (the planning and implementation of patient education programs).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. health perception will be measured using health perception scale.

    The Health Perception Scale (HPS) was developed by Diamond et al. in 2007. The HPS is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 15 items and four subdimensions: "control center," "self-awareness," "certainty," and "importance of health." Positive statements include items 1, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 14, whereas items 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 15 are negatively worded. Positive items are scored as follows: "strongly agree" = 5, "agree" = 4, "undecided" = 3, "disagree" = 2, and "strongly disagree" = 1. Negatively worded items are reverse-scored. The total score ranges from 15 to 75. Higher scores on the Health Perception Scale indicate that individuals perceive themselves as healthier. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the subdimensions of the scale are 0.90 for Control Center, 0.91 for Self-Awareness, 0.91 for Certainty, and 0.82 for Importance of Health.

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. burnout will be measured using burnout scale

    The Short Version of the Burnout Measure, developed by Pines (28), is a self-report instrument designed to assess individuals' levels of burnout. The scale consists of 10 items and has a single-factor structure. The total score ranges from 10 to 70, with higher scores indicating higher levels of burnout.

    Time frame: 3 months
