Abstract<\/h2>\n

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a follow\u2011up program on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors in hypertensive patients.
\nDesign: A time series (one group pretest\u2011posttest) quasi\u2011experimental study was used.
\nSetting: This study was conducted at the Hypertension, Obesity and Diabetes Center of a State Hospital in Turkey.
\nSubjects: Forty\u2011five (45) hypertensive patients were recruited.
\nIntervention: An education program was implemented with hypertensive patients whereby patients were monitored at each month for a total of six times following an initial appointment. Follow\u2011up by nurses included checking weight and blood pressure (BP), reviewing of diaries, education, counseling or referrals to other disciplines.
\nMeasurement: Patients\u2019 BP and cardiovascular risk factors were assessed at the baseline and six months later. The findings were then compared to evaluate the effects of intervention on the patient\u2019s BP and cardiovascular risk factors.
\nResults: After intervention there was a significant decrease between the mean systolic BP and diastolic BP when compared with the baseline. BMI was decreased from 29.6\u00b13kg\/m2 to 29.3\u00b13kg\/m2 (p=0.033). Total cholesterol did not change. Triglycerides decreased. However, LDL\u2011cholesterol increased and HDL\u2011cholesterol decreased.
\nConclusion: To manage hypertension and to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, a program is needed and should be implemented which includes antihypertensive treatment options, lifestyle changes and lipid\u2011lowering drug therapy. The long-term effects of such a program should be monitored while implementing.<\/p>\n
