“…Regarding the avoidance/denial subscale, before the educational intervention, it was found that participants at working age were more likely to be “unadjusted” in this subscale than retired users. In this regard Chen, Zhou, Liu, and Yu reported that feelings of denial are more frequent in people at working age, because chronic diseases can limit their performance [ 52 ].…”

The objective of this analytical and interventional prospective quantitative study was to assess the effect of an educational intervention performed by nurses for mental adjustment to chronic disease in patients with hypertension. A convenience sample was studied, composed of 329 participants with chronic hypertension, followed in a primary healthcare unit in the Central Region of Portugal. Data collection was carried out by applying the Mental Adjustment to Disease Scale (MADS) before and 1 month after the educational nursing intervention between September 2017 and February 2018. Prior to the application of the educational intervention, 43.5% of the participants were classified as “unadjusted” in at least one of the subscales of MADS. After the educational intervention, 21.3% of the participants classified as “unadjusted” became “adjusted” in all MADS subscales. The success rate of the intervention varied from 26.9% (in the fatalism subscale) to 44.6% (for the anxious concern subscale). Participants were more likely to be mentally “unadjusted” to hypertension if they lived with other family members, had an active professional situation before the diagnosis of hypertension, still had an active professional situation now, were under 65 years old, had a shorter time to diagnosis (1–2 years), and measured blood pressure less regularly. The educational intervention performed by nurses is relevant for the mental adjustment of hypertensive patients, contributing to increased knowledge, as well as improvement in preventive and self-care practices, facilitating the experience of the health/disease transition process.
