Objective To explore the effect of programmed family nursing intervention on medication compliance in hypertensive patients. Methods A total of 160 patients with hypertension treated between August 2012 and July 2013 in our hospital were chosen to be our study subjects. They were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n=80) and trial group (n=80). Patients in the control group were given routine nursing intervention for six months, while those in the trial group received six-month programmed family nursing intervention. Then, we compared the effect of blood pressure control and medication compliance between the two groups. Results The effect of blood pressure control and medication compliance in the trial group after the intervention was better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The programmed family nursing intervention is better than the routine nursing intervention in terms of effect of blood pressure control and patients' medication compliance, and it is an effective nursing method for hypertensive patients.
