Methods:Across-sectional survey was conducted on 420 patients with hypertension supervised by the urban health centers of Gorgan city health district. Sampling technique was random multi-stage cluster sampling. Data was collected using a standard questionnaire based on the Pender Health Promotion Model (HPM). To analyze, descriptive methods and inferential statistical tests including independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression model were used through SPSS version 18. The significance level was considered less than 0.05.    Results: The results showed that 386 (91.9%) had no drug changes based on doctor comment and 352 (83.8%) did not use any drugs to control blood pressure. Statistical tests reported that commitment to implementing nutrition program had a remarkable differences with perceived barriers (p=0.001), self-efficacy (p=0.001), feelings related to behavior (p=0.001), situational determinants (P=0.038), and interpersonal factors (p=0.001). Conclusion: The score of most constructs of the HPM was moderate; therefore, designing the effective interventions using HPM may be helpful in controlling hypertension. Paper Type:Research Article.
