Key result
A 12-week nurse-led hypertension management model improved blood pressure, self-care behaviors, and patient satisfaction compared to control (P < .05).
Why the study?
Hypertension is a silent disease with increasing prevalence and poor control rates, prompting the evaluation of a nurse-led hypertension management model in the community.
Does a 12-week nurse-led hypertension management model improve blood pressure, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and satisfaction in hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure?

Does a 12-week nurse-led hypertension management model improve blood pressure, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and satisfaction in hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure?
p-value: p=<.05
A 12-week nurse-led hypertension management model significantly improves self-care behaviors and patient satisfaction in community-dwelling patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Supports nurse-led hypertension models in community care; extends RCT evidence for task-shifting in BP management.
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a silent disease of the masses with an increasing prevalence and poor control rates. This study aims to establish and test the efficacy of a nurse-led hypertension management model in the community. METHODS: A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed. 156 hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure were equally and randomly allocated into 2 groups. Patients in the study group received a 12-week period of hypertension management. Blood pressure, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and satisfaction were assessed at the start of recruitment, 12 and 16 weeks thereafter. RESULTS: After the intervention, blood pressure of patients in the study group had greater improvement in self-care behaviors and a higher level of satisfaction with the hypertensive care compared to the control group (both P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The nurse-led hypertension management model is feasible and effective for patients with uncontrolled blood pressure in the community.

Miao et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Hypertension (n=156). Nurse-led hypertension management model vs. Control group was evaluated on Blood pressure, self-care behaviors, self-efficacy, and satisfaction (p=<.05). A 12-week nurse-led hypertension management model improved blood pressure, self-care behaviors, and patient satisfaction compared to control (P < .05).
