Between January 2024 and January 2025, 200 hypertensive patients were randomly chosen from the Tianshui Wulin Street Community Health Service Center, to participate in the study. These patients were randomly assigned to either a control group (implemented routine nursing) or an intervention group (implemented community health education in addition to routine nursing). We compared the two groups in terms of blood pressure, self-care ability, self-management behavior, levels of depression and anxiety, medication adherence, sleep quality, quality of life, and satisfaction rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Six months post-intervention, both groups exhibited a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, PSQI scores and PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores, as well as an increase in HBP SCP-behavior and HBP SCP-self-efficacy scores, HPSMBRS scores, TASHP scores, SF-36 scores (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.05).
