The Effect of Nurse-led Health Coaching on Blood Pressure Control and Disease Self-management Among Patients With Hypertension in Huayuan County, Western Hunan, China: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Effective self-management of hypertension (HTN) is the key to adequate blood pressure control. The self-management education for patients with HTN has not been widely provided in Huayuan County, Western Hunan, China. Health coaching is a goal-oriented, client-centered partnership focused on a process of client enlightenment and empowerment which has shown to be effective in improving self-management behaviors. However, little is known whether such intervention is effective for adults with newly diagnosed with HTN in Huayuan County, Western Hunan, China.
The aims of the study are to examine the effect of nurse-led health coaching on controlling BP and improving self-management among patients with HTN in Huayuan County Western Hunan, China.
We will conduct a single-center six-month, two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) at the outpatient department of Huayuan County People's Hospital. It will recruit 78 participants with HTN. The control group received health guidance and follow-up management, the experimental group received health coaching and follow up management in addition to the usual care.
The intervention content was divided into three parts. The initial stage, the core stage and the maintenance stage, respectively, which included ten steps. After obtaining participants' participant informed consent, baseline data were collected, at month 1, month 3 and month 6 after the intervention, the participants were asked to fill in the questionnaires again when they came to the hospital for follow-up. The primary outcomes were the difference in changes of blood pressure, medication literacy and self-management scores. The secondary outcomes included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC).Once the intervention is confirmed to be effective, we will implement the health coaching in the control group.

Experimental: The experimental group
The experimental group received health coaching and follow up management in addition to the usual care.
|
The intervention content was divided into three parts, the initial stage, the core stage and the maintenance stage, respectively, which included ten steps.
The initial step in each health coaching session was to set the agenda for these session with the participant.
This was achieved by asking the participant "What would be helpful to talk about today?"
Once the participant identified a key issue for discussion, health coaches utilized their skills in Ml by assessing current stage of behavior change in relation to the issue and exploring the motivation and commitment for change.
If a participant displayed a need and adequate commitment to change, the health coaches worked with the participant to establish a goal for behavior change, which included where, when and how the behavior change would be performed.
This intervention consisted of one-on-one health coaching at the baseline visit, then participants received a face-to-face
