Summary

This study utilizes the I-Change Model to empower individuals in literacy-limited settings, where the majority of the population is illiterate. By leveraging multimedia tools-such as an educational video and a pictorial infographic-we aim to promote self-care practices among individuals suffering from hypertension. Through these tailored interventions, we seek to enhance awareness, improve hypertension management, and encourage behavioral change, even in low-literacy communities

Interventions

Behavior Change through Education intervention

The I-Change Model We used behavior alteration theory to identify areas of thinking or conduct that might potentially lead to issues in the process of collecting or consuming medicine. Subsequently, we proceeded to create and improve the substance of the message, and we aligned the messages with a standardized classification of evidence-based strategies for modifying behavior. Unclear or confusing information in infographics and television videos was revised, while information that was deemed unhelpful or insignificant by both patients and clinicians was eliminated. Patients' feedback was used to create fresh material for television videos and infographics. 1. Encourage patients about routine clinic appointments 2. Provide relevant health-related information. 3. Help participants plan and organize various treatment adherence behaviors including medication collection and taking, diet, and exercise 4. Support positive adherence-related behaviors
