Abstract：Objective:To probe into the influence of low intensity of exercise therapy combined with health edu-cation on the quality of life and blood pressure of elderly patients with hypertension.Methods:A total of 100 ca-ses of elderly patients with hypertension were selected as the study objects from a community of Lions Town of Foshan city Nanhai district from March 2015 to June 2015,and they were randomly divided into control group and intervention group,50 cases in each.The patients in control group received routine hypertension nursing measures,and the patients in intervention group were treated with low intensity of exercise therapy combined with health education on the basis of the treatment in control group.The score of the GQOLI 74 score and the change of blood pressure were observed and compared between both groups.Results:There was no statistically significant differences in the all scores of GQOLI 74 before intervention between both groups(P >0.05);after the intervention,patients’GQOLI 74 score in intervention group was significantly better than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01).Before the intervention,there was no statisti-cally significant difference in blood pressure control of patients between both groups (P >0.05);after the inter-vention,blood pressure control of patients in intervention group was significantly better than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01).Conclusion:After elderly hypertensive patients receiving low intensity of exercise therapy combined with health education,their quality of life was improved, and the elderly hypertensive patients receiving low intensity of exercise therapy combined with health education can make patients to better grasp the nursing knowledge of the related diseases,and can effectively control the blood pressure fluctuations.
