What will be the proposed change in nursing practice related to hypertension enhancing lifestyle management through patient educational interventions and Pender's Health Promotion Model.

• Application of Pender's Health Promotion Model was effective in management of hypertension. Also, nursing educational intervention was successful in improving knowledge, lifestyle behaviors and blood pressure measurement among adults in the study group than the control group. Health education programs to increase awareness of adults about risk factors of hypertension and the disease process is essential to empower and motivate them to adopt healthy lifestyle and adhere to medication to manage the disease and prevent complication.  Pender's Health Promotion model serves as a tool for nurses to plan behavioral modification interventions in order to assist in the improvement and prevention of unhealthy behaviors. A major focus of nursing is encouraging health-promoting behaviors. This model assists nurses in the achievement of optimum health promotion for their patients and communities. The use of Pender's Health Promotion Model in the articles explored display how it can positively affect and improve health behaviors. Today the value of healthy lifestyles and behaviors holds even higher significance as health insurance becomes out of reach for many individuals due to rising costs. Pender's health promotion model drives the nurse to tailor their education to meet the individual and environmental needs of their patient in order to initiate a health-promoting behavioral change.
