Abstract Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lifestyle interventions, particularly exercise, are cost-effective strategies to improve blood pressure control and enhance health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Objectives: To assess baseline HRQoL among hypertensive patients, evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program on HRQoL, and determine associations with selected demographic variables.
Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was used. Fifty hypertensive inpatients at Dr. V.V.P. Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni (Bk) were selected through purposive sampling. A structured exercise program was administered daily for four weeks. HRQoL was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Participants were predominantly aged ≥51 years (41.7%), with a slight male predominance (53.3%). Baseline HRQoL scores were moderate across all domains. After the intervention, there was a statistically significant improvement (p<0.001) in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. Age, education, family history of hypertension, and physical activity were significantly associated with baseline QoL scores.
Conclusion: Structured exercise programs significantly enhance HRQoL in hypertensive patients and should be integrated into routine nursing and clinical practice to improve long-term outcomes.
