This study aims to develop and evaluate a prototype application which integrates data on blood pressure-lowering activities such as exercise routines, dietary changes, and medication adherence, with the effectiveness presented through calculated effect sizes. The application features an assessment form with multiple-choice questions to evaluate users' lifestyle habits, enabling the personalization of recommended activities based on individual needs. Guided by the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the prototype development involved systematic reviews and meta-analyses of nursing practices in Thailand. A quantitative online survey with four hundred and fifty-six hypertensive participants was conducted; 56.14% were male, and the majority were aged between 30 and 60 years old. Participants were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Satisfaction with the application was measured on a 5-point scale, with an average score of 4.45, indicating high satisfaction. Positive feedback suggests that while the prototype shows promise, further development and evaluation are needed to assess its effectiveness in reducing blood pressure and promoting healthy behaviors among hypertensive patients.application/pdfengผลงานนี้เป็นลิขสิทธิ์ของมหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล ขอสงวนไว้สำหรับเพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น ต้องอ้างอิงแหล่งที่มา ห้ามดัดแปลงเนื้อหา และห้ามนำไปใช้เพื่อการค้าHypertensionMobile applicationsNursing practiceResearch ArticleDepartment of Biostatistics Faculty of Public Health Mahidol UniversityDivision of Adult and Gerontological Nursing Ramathibodi School of Nursing Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol UniversityDepartment of Computer Science and Information Technology Faculty of Science at Sriracha Campus Kasetsart University
