May support integrated programs to boost hypertension knowledge in older adults; leaves open effects on adherence or outcomes.
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop an integrated online and offline medication management program and to examine the program's effects of the program for older adults with hypertension residing in the community. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 57 older adults with hypertension (intervention group: 29, control group: 28). The experimental group participated in the medication management program, which included the following: verbal and video education, individual counseling, and using medication note over 3 weeks. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. The data were analyzed by Generalized Estimation Equation. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of their knowledge of hypertension and self-efficacy for appropriate medication. Conclusion: The integrated medication management program was effective as indicated in knowledge of hypertension and self-efficacy for appropriate medication. Future studies are required to explore the medication management program's effects on older adults with hypertension using more rigorous research methods.

Moon et al. (2023) studied Hypertension (n=57). Integrated medication management program (verbal/video education, individual counseling, medication note) vs. No intervention was evaluated on Knowledge of hypertension (Group x Time interaction) (p=<0.001). An integrated medication management program improved knowledge of hypertension and self-efficacy for appropriate medication in older adults with hypertension compared to the control group.
