Low-salt diet education is a proven non-pharmacological approach to controlling blood pressure. Objektive: This research employed a case study design with a descriptive- narrative approach. The subject was Mrs. R, 54 -year-old hypertensive patient living in the working area of tamamaung public health center. The intervention lasted for three consecutive days using educational materials such as leaflets, posters, and SOP. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and blood pressure measurements. Results: The respondent’s knowledge improved after the intervention (questionnaire score increased from 13 to 18 correct answers ). Blood pressure decreased from 140/100 mmHg to 135/90 mmHg.Conclusion: Systematic and structured low-salt diet education was effective in enhacing knowledge and reducing blood pressure in the hypertensive patient.Recommendation: Nurses should continue providing consistent education.
