Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effects of the interactive pictorial health education (IPHE) program on enhancing high blood pressure-specific health literacy (HBP-HL), controlling blood pressure, and improving self-management behavior (SMB) and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) among hypertensive patients with inadequate HBP-HL (HPIH) in the urban-rural fringe area in China.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study with repeated measures was used. The intervention group (n = 60) received IPHE program, while the control group (n = 60) received health education lectures. Outcome measures were HBP-HL, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), SMB and HRQOL evaluated at baseline (T0), six months (T6), nine months (T9), and 12 months (T12).
Results
The effects of intervention factors on HBP-HL, SBP and HRQOL were stronger over time (P < 0.05), but not on DBP and SMB. The SMB scores were better in the intervention group at T6, T9 and T12 (P < 0.05). Compared to T0, the SBP and DBP in the intervention group decreased by 9.22 and 4.27 mmHg at T12.
Conclusion
The IPHE program can enhance HBP-HL, control blood pressure, and improve SMB and HRQOL among HPIH.
Practice Implications
The IPHE program was an active and promising method to manage HPIH.
