The control group received routine care, while the observation group received community care combined with health education. The blood pressure levels and medication compliance of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in blood pressure levels and medication compliance between the two groups before intervention, P>0.05. After intervention, the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, P<0.05. After intervention, the MASES score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, P<0.05. Conclusion In the process of carrying out community nursing work for elderly patients with hypertension, timely strengthening of targeted health education for patients can significantly improve their blood pressure levels and medication compliance, which is worthy of promotion and application.
