ObjectiveTo analyze the effects and influencing factors of community-based detailed management program for hypertension on the blood pressure control for hypertensive patients in communities so as to provide bases for improving the community-based detailed management mode for hypertension.
MethodsIn accordance with relevant selection criteria, 400 hypertensive patients living in the Fenglin Community of Shanghai who were diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension at the year in question were randomly selected, and were separated into an intervention group and a control group, with 200 patients belonging to each group. Community health education was combined with individual guidance in managing the intervention group while the control group was managed via conventional hypertension grouping. The blood pressure control of these two groups before(Jan., 2007) and after(Jan., 2015) the intervention were compared.
ResultsAfter the intervention, the average systolic blood pressure(SBP) and the average diastolic blood pressure(DBP) of the intervention group were below those of control group by 8.03 mmHg and 6.55 mmHg, respectively, which showed statistic significance(P < 0.01). The intervention group was better than the control group in terms of rate of reaching target blood pressure, risk stratification and medication compliance (P < 0.05); the main factors influencing the effect of blood pressure control were sex, body mass index, high salt diet and smoking.
ConclusionThe community-based detailed management program for hypertension in Shanghai has achieved remarkable effects in controlling the blood pressure of hypertensive patients, and is an efficient approach to help stabilize the blood pressure thereof.
