Abstract
We conducted a pre‐post intervention study to determine knowledge, attitude, and practice toward dietary salt intake before, immediately, and 1‐month after nurse‐led one‐on‐one counseling. We purposively selected three public health facilities in Agra, India, and enrolled all eligible hypertensive patients aged 18–60 under treatment for ≥6 months. Of the 153 patients at the 1‐month follow‐up, counseling improved knowledge (4% vs. 42%, p < .001), a greater prioritization of a low salt diet (34% vs. 52%, p < .001), and practice of adding less salt to the dough (48% to 41%, p < .001). The counseling intervention improved knowledge, attitude, and practice toward dietary salt intake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
