Study in the hypertensive risk group who came for screening in 2023. The study was conducted between March and May 2024, with 35 people. The study was conducted before and after the first group.

The general data, health belief model perception, behavioral behavior to prevent hypertension, and clinical outcomes were analyzed using descriptive statistics to find frequencies, percentages, and standard deviations. The difference was tested for comparison using Paired t-test statistics.
     Results : 1) The perception according to the health belief pattern of the hypertensive risk group of the sample group after the experiment had a higher mean score than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level. 2) The behavior to prevent hypertensive disease of the sample group after the experiment had a higher mean score than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level. 3) The blood pressure level after the experiment had a better mean score than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the 0.05 level.
