Yet, self-management research has rarely incorporated health literacy as part of the intervention. We aimed to test a health literacy-focused self-management intervention in African Americans (AAs) with HBP.Methods: We conducted a cluster-randomized pilot trial. The intervention consisted of health literacy-focused group education followed by phone counseling.Results: There was no group difference for BP at 12 weeks. However, change in BP control rates from baseline to follow-up was greater for the intervention group than the control group (47.3% vs. 20.8%) after controlling for age. HBP literacy also increased in the intervention group but remained unchanged in the control group, though the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: While we did not observe group difference for HBP outcomes, there was a clear trend of improved BP control in the intervention group. Implications for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":519919,"journal":{"name":"International journal of nursing and health care science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11103264/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141072381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
