Nurse-Led Motivational Interviewing for Blood Pressure Control
Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University
Summary
Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Effective hypertension management requires medication adherence, lifestyle modification, regular blood pressure monitoring, and self-management behaviors. Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach that may support behavior change and improve hypertension management. This study aims to evaluate the effects of nurse-led individual motivational interviewing and family-involved motivational interviewing on blood pressure control in patients with hypertension. The study will be conducted as a single-center, three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 180 patients with hypertension will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: usual care, individual motivational interviewing, or family-involved motivational interviewing. Participants in the intervention groups will receive a 6-week nurse-led motivational interviewing program. In the family-involved motivational interviewing group, a family member who supports hypertension management will also participate in the sessions. Data will be collected at baseline, 6 weeks, and 18 weeks. The primary outcome is systolic blood pressure. Secondary outcomes include diastolic blood pressure, hypertension knowledge level, treatment adherence, and hypertension self-efficacy.

Individual Motivational Interviewing
The intervention is a structured 6-week nurse-led individual motivational interviewing program. Sessions will focus on hypertension awareness, individual risk factors, readiness for change, hypertension knowledge, misconceptions and complications, medication adherence, treatment barriers, salt reduction, nutrition behaviors, home blood pressure monitoring, physical activity, weight control, stress management, self-efficacy, problem solving, motivation maintenance, and individualized goal evaluation.
Family-Involved Motivational Interviewing
The intervention is a structured 6-week nurse-led motivational interviewing program delivered with the participation of a family member who supports the patient's hypertension management. The intervention content is the same as the individual motivational interviewing program. The family member will be included to support medication adherence, salt reduction, nutrition behaviors, home blood pressure monitoring, and achievement of weekly goals.
Usual Hypertension Care With Information Brochure
Participants will continue to receive routine hypertension care and will be given a standard hypertension information brochure. No structured motivational interviewing session will be provided.
