“…For the best results, the trainer–nurse must have a very good knowledge of the subject, must believe in what he or she is doing, and must use simple terms that can be easily understood. His or her information and advice must be clear (Lilja, 1985). The trainer–nurse must be able to assess whether the client has understood the instructions and must not prolong the training time without good reason.…”

“…The principles of the educational program are as follows: (1) Assessment must be given of the hypertensive patient's readiness for learning and his or her health beliefs and explanation of the purpose of the education program (Balog, 1981; Becker, 1974; Lieberman, 1990; Miller, 1985). (2) Good relationships, which must be achieved through sincerity and honesty, must be fostered between patients and public health nurses (Corkadel & McGlashan, 1983; Lilja, 1985; Sundeen and Stuart, 1994). (3) Attention must be paid to the moral dilemma that may be caused by low self‐esteem during the nurse's process, in order to achieve the patient's better compliance with and change of attitude toward therapy (Nieswiadomy, 1993; Sacket & Haynes, 1979).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between patient's education in compliance with their medical regimen and the external variables: (1) "years of schooling," (2) duration of treatment, and (3) compliance with the medical regimen. The hypothesis tested in this study was as follows: "Hypertensive individuals who are educated about the importance of their medication and about the consequences of not taking the prescribed dosage will show better compliance with their prescribed drug regimen than those who are not thus educated." The sample of the study consisted of 40 hypertensive patients. A "posttest-only" control group design was used in this study. The hypothesis of the study was tested by using the Mann-Whitney U test. For the relationship between the external variables (years of schooling, duration of treatment, and compliance with the medical regimen), the Spearman test was used. The findings of the study revealed a statistically significant difference between compliance levels in the experimental group and in the control group (U = 130, p < 0.05), a positive correlation between "years of schooling" and compliance (rs = 0.33, p = 0.04), and a negative correlation between duration of treatment and compliance (rs = -0.45, p = 0.005). The findings support the hypothesis of the study.

“…However, expertise alone does not make a good health educator. Three principles must be adopted in patient educational programme: (i) patients' belief and understanding of the aims of education program must be delivered and evaluated through some learning tools [50][51][52], (ii) established relationship between patients and healthcare providers [53,54], and (iii) attention must be given to low selfesteem and non-vocal patients to change their health-related behaviors [55].…”

Essential medicines have become indispensable to maintain and to improve our lives and health. Latest literature again reiterated that inappropriate use of medicine is a global phenomenon in both developed and developing countries still prevail. Poor adherence is associated with negative clinical outcome of the disease. It is important to note that about 50% of treatment failures are due to poor medication adherence and this results in substantial morbidity and mortality. Patient's belief and perception have been reported to influence medication adherence. Low rate of adherence was found strongly associated with patient's belief across the studies with chronic diseases with hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, asthma and renal disease. Exploring the health beliefs of patients is vital to improve adherence and thereby blood pressure among the patients with hypertension. Lack of knowledge about usage of medication and various misleading perceptions of hypertension management have resulted inappropriate use of medication especially medication adherence among community-dwelling patients with hypertension. Literatures classified non-adherence into primary and secondary. Primary non-adherence refers to medication is purposefully never filled or taken; Secondary non-adherence is defined as medication is not taken properly or continued as prescribed and further classified into intentionally and unintentionally. Patient education aims to train patient in the skill and self-management of their chronic disease by adapting to the treatment or lifestyle changes. Despite improving in patients' skill and self-care by providing information about the treatment, patient education could enhance their empowerment and medication adherence. Patient education is a basic right of the patients and healthcare members have responsible to provide such information. However, the authenticity of the available information is yet to be verified. Therefore, healthcare professional could play a vital role here to educate their patients about the appropriate information.
