Randomization description
In this study, two health centers with similar demographic and service characteristics, including Health Center No. 1 in Jahrom and Nik Eghbal Health Center, will be selected. Then, using a lottery method, one center will be assigned as the intervention group and the other as the control group. After determining the groups, a list of elderly patients with hypertension covered by each center will be prepared, and each individual will be assigned an identification code. Participant selection in each center will be carried out using a simple random sampling method and random number generator software to ensure equal chances for all individuals to enter the study. Finally, 48 participants from the designated intervention center and 48 participants from the control center will be randomly selected.
