Summary

Hypertension is an important disease that generally affects the adult population, is increasing rapidly in our country and in the world, and threatens public health due to its complications. In our country, the rate of blood pressure control in patients receiving antihypertensive treatment is 53.9%. One of the factors that play a role in not exceeding this rate is the patient's non-compliance with treatment.

Hypertension management has two main building blocks. These are: lifestyle improvement and drug therapy. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the rate of compliance with treatment in chronic diseases in developing countries is around 50%. Morbidity and mortality are directly related to the use of drugs in patients with hypertension, and the control of hypertension is possible with the patient's compliance with the treatment. Among the reasons for non-compliance with treatment; The side effects of drugs, the patient's insecurity about the effectiveness and benefit of the treatment, lack of motivation, the absence of disturbing physical symptoms in some patients, lack of knowledge about drug therapy and diet regimens, miscommunication between the patient and the physician, the complexity of the treatment, and insufficient participation in the follow-up of the patient can be counted. It is important to support and follow-up the hypertensive individual in order to develop their self-care skills and to adapt and maintain their lifestyle changes and drug treatment to keep their blood pressure under control.

The use of mobile health services is becoming more and more popular in the self-management of chronic diseases such as hypertension. Due to the rapid adoption of smartphone technologies, mobile phones are now attracting the attention of individuals with chronic diseases and increasing their usability, thanks to their entertaining use as well as monitoring patient data, providing personalized self-management, benefiting from social effects.

This study was planned to determine the "Effect of Mobile Application Use on Treatment Adherence and Self-Care Management in Patients with Hypertension". The study was designed to improve individuals' knowledge about the disease, regular drug use, diet compliance, physical activity level, quitting smoking and alcohol if using, and weight control.
