The Effect of Interventions for Health Behaviors in Hypertensive Patients
Sponsor: Nanjing Medical University
Summary
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and premature death worldwide. With an aging population and changes in dietary patterns and lifestyles, the prevalence of hypertension is rising globally, especially in developing countries. Hypertension is the most common chronic disease and a growing public health problem in China. A recent study estimated the prevalence of hypertension to be 28.56 % ± 10.44 %, ranging from 14.28% to 44.28% among the Chinese population aged over 15 years. The PRECEED-PROCEDE model provides a framework to help health planners and policymakers design effective health interventions based on evaluation and analysis of situations. This model has been used in different recent studies related to behavioral change. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of interventions for health behaviors in hypertensive patients based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model.

The program is a group-based intervention provided by a healthcare team consisting of researchers, cardiologists, family doctors, community healthcare workers, psychologists, and health education specialists. The intervention is structured around three modules-predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors-that provide a framework for educational interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors in hypertensive patients.
