Does a wireless self-monitoring program improve the relationship between patient activation and health behaviors, medication adherence, and blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients?
Effect estimate: beta = -0.27
p-value: p=0.02
A wireless self-monitoring program significantly enhances the positive effects of patient activation on health behaviors and blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients.
Kim et al. (2016) conducted an RCT in Hypertension (n=95). Wireless self-monitoring program vs. Standard disease management program was evaluated on Interaction between wireless self-monitoring and changes in Patient Activation Measure (PAM) on systolic blood pressure (beta = -0.27, p=0.02). A wireless self-monitoring program significantly strengthened the association between increased patient activation and reductions in systolic blood pressure (beta=-0.27, P=0.02) at 6 months.
