<![CDATA[Background: Inadequate self-care knowledge among hypertensive patients poses a significant barrier to blood pressure control and complication prevention, necessitating innovative educational interventions.Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of the "AKRABI TENSI" video-based education on the self-care knowledge level of hypertensive patients in the Tanasitolo Public Health Center area.Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 20 hypertensive patients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated 13-item self-care knowledge questionnaire before and after the video intervention and were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.Results: The findings revealed a substantial enhancement in self-care knowledge following the intervention. The mean knowledge score significantly increased from 5.30 to 10.25 (p < 0.001). Consequently, the majority of respondents shifted into the 'good' knowledge category.Conclusion: This study concludes that the "AKRABI TENSI" audiovisual education is significantly effective in improving patients' comprehension of hypertension management. This enhanced understanding directly strengthens patients' self-care capacity, which is essential for maintaining blood pressure homeostasis and preventing long-term cardiovascular complications in primary care facilities.]]>
