The hypertension related health literacy total scores and 4 dimension scores of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results There was no significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy between the experiment group and the control one before intervention (P>0.05). There was significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy between the experiment group and the control one after intervention (P<0.001). The total score and each dimension score of the hypertension related health literacy of the experiment group were significantly higher than that of the control group. There was significant difference in the total score and each dimension score of the experiment group before and after intervention (P<0.001). The scores of the experiment group after intervention were significantly higher than before.
