Brief Summary

In this study, a mobile application designed based on the Social Cognitive Theory was evaluated in middle-aged individuals with hypertension: H1(a): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory affects medication adherence self-efficacy levels in patients with hypertension. H0(a): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory does not affect medication adherence self-efficacy levels in patients with hypertension. H1(b): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory affects hypertension self-efficacy levels in patients with hypertension. H0(b): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory does not affect hypertension self-efficacy levels in patients with hypertension. H1(c): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory affects systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. H0(c): A mobile application based on the Social Cognitive Theory does not affect systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. Participants were asked to download and use the hypertension monitoring application designed by the researcher on their phones for a period of three months. A pre-test was administered through face-to-face interviews before installing the application. After using the application for three months, a post-test was conducted using the same scales through face-to-face interviews. For the control group, the same pre-test was administered through face-to-face interviews without using the application. After three months, a post-test was again conducted via face-to-face interviews. The researchers compared the data of the participants with those of the control group.
