[OP.6C.03] Do Patients Actually Do What We Ask? Patient Performance and Persistence in the Tasmin-Sr Blood Pressure Self-Management Trial

Virtual management of hypertension: lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic–International Society of Hypertension position paper endorsed by the World Hypertension League and European Society of Hypertension

“…(see Table 1 for weblink for examples of simple patient medication self-adjustment plans [28]). As with other self-monitoring interventions, a reduction in clinical inertia appears to underlie the benefits from patient and pharmacist titration with evidence of significantly increased adherence in following titration algorithms [93].…”

Medication self-management interventions for persons with stroke: A scoping review

“…Studies were conducted across 20 different countries, with the majority conducted in the United States (n = 14) [ 38 , 42 – 45 , 50 , 57 , 59 , 67 , 74 , 81 – 83 , 88 ] and China (n = 11) [ 40 , 46 , 73 , 76 – 80 , 84 – 86 ]. Other countries included the United Kingdom (n = 4) [ 63 , 64 , 69 , 72 ], South Korea (n = 2) [ 55 , 56 ], Australia (n = 2) [ 41 , 65 ], Belgium (n = 2) [ 54 , 75 ], Germany (n = 2) [ 49 , 60 ], Ghana (n = 2) [ 68 , 89 ], Hong Kong (n = 2) [ 70 , 71 ], India (n = 2) [ 34 , 39 ], Malaysia (n = 2) [ 35 , 87 ], New Zealand (n = 2) [ 36 , 61 ], Pakistan (n = 2) [ 52 , 53 ], Austria (n = 1) [ 47 ], Denmark (n = 1) [ 48 ], France (n = 1) [ 37 ], Israel (n = 1) [ 62 ], Japan (n = 1) [ 66 ], Thailand (n = 1) [ 58 ], and Turkey (n = 1) [ 51 ].…”

“…Level of education was reported by 29 articles [ 35 , 36 , 39 , 42 , 45 , 47 , 50 – 53 , 55 , 58 , 59 , 62 , 68 , 70 , 71 , 73 , 74 , 76 – 81 , 84 , 87 – 89 ], with variability in how education level was collected and how the highest level of education achieved by the participant was reported. Approximately one third of included articles reported the participants’ ethnicity (n = 19) [ 35 , 36 , 42 – 45 , 50 , 59 , 61 – 64 , 69 , 74 , 81 – 83 , 87 , 89 ], marital status (n = 17) [ 36 , 39 , 50 , 51 , 55 , 58 , 69 – 71 , 73 , 74 , 76 , 77 , 82 – 84 , 88 ], and employment status (n = 17) [ 35 ,…”

“…The multicomponent interventions consisted of a combination of the following: education, counseling or coaching, workshops, text reminders, follow-up discussions, information materials, health assessments, referrals or connections to healthcare providers, support services, goal setting, and medication reviews. Just over half of the interventions (n = 33) were tailored to the participants based on their individual needs or goals [ 34 , 37 , 38 , 40 – 50 , 52 – 54 , 56 – 59 , 62 , 63 , 65 , 67 – 69 , 71 , 74 , 75 , 80 , 85 , 89 ]. Only two articles described the modification of the intervention during the course of the study [ 37 , 60 ].…”

Helping Patients Manage Their Own Blood Pressures: A Strategy to Address Hypertension Control in the United States

“…The UK trials recruited from primary care practices, and among these consented patients, adherence to the study protocol still decreased considerably over the year of follow-up. 10 Thus, it would be important to include antihypertensive self-titration as one of several tools available to enable out-of-office blood pressure management, to redirect clinical time and resources liberated by patients who can titrate their own medications toward assisting patients who need more intensive support, and to identify and use strategies to enhance patient engagement over time.…”
