Background: Hypertension (HT) is a global health problem. Although there are effective treatment protocols, patients have difficulty in adapting to regular use of drugs, diet, and lifestyle changes. Mobile apps can be a potential alternative for managing HT and improving self-care behavior. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of mobile application follow-up on treatment compliance and self-care management in patients with HT. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in November 2021 and March 2022 with 40 experimental and 40 control group patients with HT. Research data were collected using a patient information form, “Hill-Bone Hypertension Treatment Compliance Scale (HBHTTCS),” “Hypertension Self-Care Profile-Motivation Scale (HTSPMS),” a mobile application program (daily blood pressure, pulse, medication, diet, exercise tracking) uploaded to the mobile phones of the patients, and individual motivational messages. Results: The mean total score of the HBHTTCS at Week 6 was 14.57 ± 1.89 and the mean total score of the HTSPMS was 78.15 ± 2.05. There was a statistically significant difference in mean total HTSPMS (p = 0.000) and HBHTTCS (p = 0.000) scores and mean scores on medical (p = 0.002) and nutrition (p = 0.002) subscales of HBHTTCS between the first interview (1st-week follow-up) and the last interview (6th-week follow-up) of patients in the intervention group. Conclusions: This study showed that mobile application follow-up increased motivation levels and treatment compliance in patients with HT and resulted in better self-care. These positive findings indicate importance of integrating mobile applications in the disease management of HT patients.

Background: Violence against women is a global public health and human rights issue with profound physical and psychological consequences. Simulation-based learning may help nursing students recognize signs of violence. This study examined whether physical violence indicators created on a standardized patient using moulage improve nursing students’ recognition of violence and their related attitudes, knowledge, satisfaction, self-efficacy, and communication skills. Methods: A randomized controlled pretest–posttest design was conducted with 55 fourth-year nursing students allocated to a moulage group (n = 28) and a control group (n = 27). The data collection tools included the “Demographic Information Form”, “ISKEBE Attitude Scale for Violence Against Women,” “Communication Skills Assessment Form”, “Nurses’ and Midwives’ Recognition of Signs of Violence Against Women Form”, “Modified Simulation Effectiveness Tool”, “Student Satisfaction and Self-Efficacy Scale in Learning,” and “Moulage Evaluation Questionnaire.” Data analysis involved calculating frequency, mean, standard deviation, chi-square tests, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. Results: The demographic data of the moulage and control groups were similar. Recognition of violence indicators was significantly higher in the moulage group (19.75 ± 2.78) than in the control group (16.38 ± 3.63; p < 0.05). The communication skills of the students in the moulage group had an average score of 5.35 ± 0.48 for the effective communication subscale, while the average score for the therapeutic communication subscale was 4.55 ± 2.91. Additionally, the moulage group reported greater satisfaction with current learning (51.85 ± 6.66) and higher self-efficacy (29.21 ± 4.26, p = 0.006) than the control group. The mean Modified simulation effectiveness tool score was 68.42 ± 20.87, indicating a positive perception of learning effectiveness. No significant between-group difference was found for attitudes (ISKEBE). Conclusion: Moulage-supported simulation enhanced recognition of physical violence indicators, satisfaction, self-efficacy, and communication-related outcomes. The integration of these methods is recommended in future educational programs. Clinical registration: The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. ID: NCT06982017 (date: 2024-05-20).
