Objective: To determine health promotion's impact on sleep quality knowledge in elderly individuals with hypertension. Method: This study utilized a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a One Group Pretest-Posttest method. Measurements were conducted before and after the health promotion intervention focused on knowledge of sleep quality. Results: The study analyzed the characteristics of 38 elderly individuals with hypertension and the impact of health promotion on their knowledge of sleep quality.

Before the promotion, 100% had moderate knowledge; after the intervention, the percentage of those with good knowledge increased to 76.3% (p < 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of education on sleep quality for the health of elderly individuals with hypertension.
