Official title
Effects of a Health Literacy-tailored Self-management Intervention on Blood Pressure Levels Among People With Hypertension: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Overview
This project aims to investigate the effects of a health literacy-tailored self-management intervention among people with hypertension and low health literacy. The primary research question examines the impact of this intervention on blood pressure levels in this population. Participants will take part in a 6-week intervention consisting of three onsite sessions and three telephone-based sessions, with one session delivered per week. Health literacy-tailored educational materials will be developed to support participants throughout the intervention.
Interventions
- Behavioral health literacy-tailored self-management intervention
The participants in the intervention group will receive usual care combine with three weekly face-to-face group sessions (1 hour/week, 6-8 participants) at community health centres, followed by three weekly individual phone call sessions (20 minutes/session).
Primary outcome measures
- Blood pressure levels [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Proportion of participants achieving optimal blood pressure control [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
- Medication adherence [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
- Self-management behaviours [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
- Self-efficacy [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
- Health literacy [Time frame: Baseline, T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (3 months post-intervention)]
