Descrição detalhada
The study was conducted in two phases. Phase I consisted of a cross-sectional survey that examined psychosocial factors, health behaviors, environmental determinants, and quality of life among adults with hypertension. Participants were recruited from public and private hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad using convenience purposive sampling.
Phase II consisted of a two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants identified during Phase I were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the wait-list control group. The experimental group received the Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention in addition to usual medical care, whereas the wait-list control group received usual medical care together with generic health information during the study period. The intervention comprised six structured sessions delivered over 6 weeks, with one session per week lasting approximately 40-45 minutes. The sessions included self-management education, healthy lifestyle promotion, stress management, mindfulness, climate change awareness, heatwave preparedness, and behavioral coping strategies.
The Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention was adapted from the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) of the Self-Management Resource Center (SMRC), USA, with permission. The principal investigator completed SMRC training before implementing the intervention.
Outcome assessments were conducted at baseline and immediately after completion of the intervention. The primary outcome was quality of life, while secondary outcomes included psychological distress, health behaviors, climate change anxiety, heatwave-related knowledge, awareness, practices and behaviors, and blood pressure. The effectiveness of the Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention was evaluated by comparing post-intervention outcomes between the experimental and wait-list control groups. After completion of the post-intervention assessment, the Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention was also offered to participants in the wait-list control group to ensure equitable access to the intervention.
