Background and Aim: Hypertension is one of the chronic diseases that has been introduced as a silent killer and public health crisis in the world. Due to the increase in this dangerous disease, education about blood and blood pressure control can help reduce it. This study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual education on the knowledge of patients with hypertension. Materials and Methods: The present study is an intervention that was performed on 70 people over 35 years of age with hypertension in Varamin. Sampling in this study was random. In this study, individuals were divided into two groups of 35 intervention and control. First, the level of knowledge of both groups was determined using a researcher-made electronic questionnaire. Then, the intervention group was given virtual training through the Skype platform. After two months, the knowledge of both groups was measured again using an electronic questionnaire, and statistical data were analyzed using SPSS 26 software and the necessary tests. All necessary measures were taken in compliance with ethical standards in research and health protocols. Results: The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups before the intervention (P> 0.05).
