    BackgroundHypertension is a silent disease of the masses with an increasing prevalence and poor control rates. This study aims to establish and test the efficacy of a nurse-led hypertension management model in the community.MethodsA single-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed. 156 hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure were equally and randomly allocated into 2 groups. Patients in the study group received a 12-week period of hypertension management. Blood pressure, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and satisfaction were assessed at the start of recruitment, 12 and 16 weeks thereafter.ResultsAfter the intervention, blood pressure of patients in the study group had greater improvement in self-care behaviors and a higher level of satisfaction with the hypertensive care compared to the control group (both P < .05).ConclusionsThe nurse-led hypertension management model is feasible and effective for patients with uncontrolled blood pressure in the community.
