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.

Actieve vergelijker: The control group
The control group received health guidance and follow-up management.
|
Participants in control group received usual care and regular follow-up after discharge, which included (l) nurse sat the cardiology unit provided education focusing on hypertension knowledge on the lst and 2nd day at admission, diet on Day 3, exercise and triggers for elevated BP on Day 4, and medication management on the discharge day: and (2) telephone follow-ups in 15 days after discharge, then monthly for 6 months.

Experimenteel: 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

The revised version of Chinese Medication Literacy Scale for Hypertensive Patients is a 18 item, five-point Likert scale that has four subscales for knowledge, attitude, skill, and behavior scale for assessing medication literacy of hypertensive patients.
There were 4 items in the dimension of medication knowledge, which are multiple-choice questions.
Choosing 1 option correctly earns 1 point.
There are 3 items in the dimension of medication attitude and 4 items in the dimension of medication behavior, all of which were scored 0-4 points using Likert's 5-level rating.
The items A1 to A3 in the dimension of medication attitude were scored in reverse.
There are 7 items in the medication skill dimension, a correct answer for one item is scored 1, and a wrong or unknown answer is scored 0. The score is calculated to create an overall medication literacy score ranging from 0 to 37. The Cronbach's αis 0.802, and the split half reliability coefficient is 0.709.

Changes in BMI from baseline to six months
Tijdsspanne: From enrollment to the end of treatment at month 1, month 3 and month 6 after the intervention
|
BMI was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2).Weight and height were measured by an ultrasonic height measuring instrument (RCS-200, Jiangsu Suhong Medical Instrument Co.LTD).The capacity of weight of the instrument is 200kg and height range to measured is80-220 cm.
Participants with BMI < 24 kg/m2 were regarded as being of normal weight, ≥25 kg/m2 but <28 kg/m2 as overweight, and ≥28 kg/m2 as obese per Chinese guidelines.
