Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing health education strategies within the local community for elderly patients with hypertension. Methods: A total of 60 elderly patients with hypertension were selected from community health records between January 2023 and July 2024. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control group or an observation group using a random number table. The control group received standard care, while the observation group received additional health education interventions. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed and compared. Results: The results indicated that the quality of life scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Additionally, blood pressure control in the control group was less effective compared to the observation group. Furthermore, the compliance rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05), demonstrating a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Implementing health education strategies in community nursing can significantly enhance the quality of life for elderly patients with hypertension. These strategies should be actively promoted in clinical practice.
