Overview

Korean physicians need education on guideline HBPM procedures; cross-sectional data leaves open whether training improves adherence.

Structured PICO

P

O
Outcome
Level of awareness and knowledge of Korean physicians on home blood pressure monitoring recommended in current guidelines.

While most Korean physicians recommend home blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle modifications, there is a significant gap in knowledge and implementation of the specific measurement procedures recommended by hypertension guidelines.
