Key result
A BASNEF model-based intervention program significantly improved mean knowledge scores (61.52 vs 45.17, p<0.001) and self-care behaviors compared to routine care in patients with hypertension.
Why the study?
Hypertension has increased in Egypt and African regions have the highest prevalence, but it can be controlled by self-care, prompting evaluation of a BASNEF model-based intervention.
Does a BASNEF model-based intervention program improve knowledge, self-care behaviors, and blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension?

Does a BASNEF model-based intervention program improve knowledge, self-care behaviors, and blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 61.52% vs 45.17%
p-value: p=<0.001
A structured educational intervention based on the BASNEF model significantly improves disease knowledge, self-care behaviors, and blood pressure control in patients with hypertension.
Supports BASNEF-based education in hypertension care; extends RCT evidence for theory-driven self-management interventions.
Background: Hypertension is the major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that recently increased in Egypt and African regions has the highest prevalence of hypertension which can be controlled by self-care. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of belief, attitude, subjective norm, and enabling factors (BASNEF) model on knowledge and self-care behaviours for hypertensive patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted for this study (experimental /control group). Setting: The study was conducted at Damanhur University Hospital, Egypt. Sample: A purposive sample of 100 patients with hypertension was divided randomly and assigned into two groups (50 intervention groups and 50 control groups) from the beginning of September 2021 to the end of February 2022. Tools: two tools were used for data collection, tool I: A structured questionnaire designed based on the BASNEF model components. Tool II: checklist about patient's self-control behaviors concerning blood pressure control. Results: The mean total scores of all BASNEF Model components were significantly improved post-intervention in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.001).

Aly et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Hypertension (n=100). BASNEF model-based intervention program vs. Routine care was evaluated on Mean knowledge score (p=<0.001). A BASNEF model-based intervention program significantly improved mean knowledge scores (61.52 vs 45.17, p<0.001) and self-care behaviors compared to routine care in patients with hypertension.
