Abstract: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) has been shown to effectively diminish systolic (SBP)
and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The DASH diet and increased physical activities were associated with clinically
significant decreases in blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Objective: to assess the effect of DASH diet and
walking exercises on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Setting: The study was conducted at the cardiology
outpatient clinic at the Main University Hospital in Alexandria. Subjects: They comprised a convenience sample of
60 patients with hypertension who were classified into group A (DASH) and group B (DASH and walking exercise)
(n=30 in each group). Tools: Tool I: Hypertensive Patients Knowledge, Attitude Structured Questionnaire. Tool II:
Blood Pressure Measurement Chart. Tool III: Health Education Module. Results: Patients received diet approach
to stop hypertension (DASH) and walking exercises (Group B) exhibited improvement in the blood pressure than
patients who received diet approach (DASH) only to stop hypertension (Group A). Conclusion: Using exercises in
combination with DASH had a significant effect on reduction of blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Recommendations: The developed booklet about DASH diet and walking exercise should be available and
distributed to each hypertensive patients at Cardiology Unit and develop health teaching program to nurses
