Background of the study: Hypertension is a leading, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease and premature death worldwide. Despite the availability of effective pharmacologic treatments, suboptimal blood-pressure control remains common — partly because hypertension is influenced heavily by lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity, alcohol intake, tobacco use, and body weight). Lifestyle modification therefore forms a cornerstone of both primary prevention and long-term management of hypertension. Objectives: 1) To assess the existing knowledge and lifestyle status regarding hypertension among hypertensive patients. 2)To evaluate effectiveness of interventional strategies on knowledge and lifestyle status among hypertensive patients. 3) To find out the relationship between knowledge and life style status regarding hypertension among hypertensive patients. 4)To determine association between post-test level of knowledge and lifestyle status among hypertensive patient with selected demographic variables. Methods: -The study was quasi- experimental one group pretest and posttest. Quantitative-evaluative approach was adopted for study. Sample size was 60 that consisted hypertensive patients from the selected hospital. Systemic random sampling technique was used for the current study. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements findings regarding effectiveness of the interventional strategies on the lifestyle status reveals that mean of posttest lifestyle status score of the study participants 58.2±5.74 is greater than that of mean of pretest lifestyle status scores of the study participants, i.e. 39.91±6. and tabulated ‘t’ value was 1.67 at 0.05 level of significance and degree of freedom 59 and calculated ‘t’ value 22.03, was greater than the tabulated ‘t’ value at a level of significance 0.05. Therefore, it proves statistically that the interventional strategies were effective in modifying lifestyle status regarding hypertension among study participants, study findings regarding relationship between two research variables shown that the co-relation score was r=0.34 which indicated moderate positive correlation moderate positive correlation. Conclusion: The interventional strategies were found to be effective in increasing and enhancing patient’s knowledge and lifestyle status regarding hypertension. It can be implemented in various hospital and community settings for enhancing knowledge and modifying lifestyle of the patients with hypertension, and other high-risk individuals
