Hypertension (HT) remains a significant cause of mortality. Despite efforts to control blood pressure, internal factors such as age, gender, duration of illness, attitude, medication adherence, routine check-ups, and blood pressure continue to play a crucial role in enhancing blood pressure control and, consequently, the quality of life (QoL) of hypertensive patients. This research aimed to test a hypothetical model based on previous research to identify key internal factors influencing QoL in hypertensive patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 89 participants using an online questionnaire and blood pressure measurements. Correlation analysis was used to eliminate non-significant variables, followed by partial-least square analysis to test the model. The results indicated that attitude significantly affects medication adherence and routine check-ups, medication adherence influences blood pressure, and blood pressure impacts QoL. Interestingly, routine check-ups did not significantly affect blood pressure. Furthermore, attitude indirectly affects blood pressure through medication adherence and QoL through both medication adherence and blood pressure. Therefore, it is essential for nurses to empower patients attitudes towards managing their lifestyle with hypertension to improve medication adherence, control blood pressure, and enhance their quality of life.

This study demonstrates the interconnectedness of attitude, medication adherence, blood pressure, and quality of life in hypertensive patients.The findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to hypertension management, integrating psychological, behavioral, and clinical strategies to improve patient outcomes.Specifically, fostering a positive attitude towards health management can significantly improve adherence to treatment regimens, leading to better blood pressure control and an enhanced quality of life.

Future research should investigate the effectiveness of tailored interventions designed to improve patient attitudes and medication adherence, considering individual patient characteristics and cultural contexts. Furthermore, exploring the role of social support networks and community-based programs in promoting healthy lifestyles among hypertensive patients could reveal valuable strategies for enhancing long-term blood pressure control. Finally, longitudinal studies are needed to examine the dynamic relationships between these factors over time and to identify potential mediating or moderating variables that influence the impact of attitude and adherence on quality of life, ultimately leading to more effective and personalized hypertension management strategies. These investigations should aim to develop and test interventions that address the psychological and behavioral aspects of hypertension, complementing traditional medical approaches to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of this chronic disease.
