The Effect of Intervention Model Education on the Quality of Life of Hypertensive Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study

TL;DR

This study found that an intervention model education significantly improves the quality of life for hypertensive patients compared to self-management training and no intervention.

Contribution

The study introduces an intervention model education approach that involves multiple stakeholders and educational materials to enhance patient outcomes.

Findings

The intervention model education group showed a significant improvement in quality of life (P=0.0001).

The control group showed no significant change in quality of life (P=0.310).

The intervention model education had the highest impact compared to other methods.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of hypertension (HTN), accompanied by a decreasing quality of life (QoL), requires appropriate interventions to avoid its impacts and the occurrence of chronic conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the intervention model education on the QoL of hypertensive patients compared to HTN self-management training and no intervention.

A quasi-experimental study.

The sample consisted of 138 hypertensive patients, divided into an HTN intervention model education group (n=46), an HTN management training group (n=46), and a group without treatment (n=46). The study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group. All groups received a pre-test, and after 6 weeks, they all received a post-test with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire.

The HTN intervention model education group and the HTN self-management training group had a significant effect on the QoL of hypertensive patients (P=0.0001), while the control group showed no effect (P=0.310). The Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated a significant difference in the three interventions, and the highest difference was observed in the HTN intervention model education group.

The HTN intervention model education was the main choice because it involved not only the patient himself but also policies, health workers, cadres, and families, as well as the presence of booklets.
