Abstract: (655 Views)
Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a noncommunicable disease and one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Educational interventions have been conducted to prevent and control HTN. This systematic review tried to summarize the effectiveness of educational interventions to improve blood pressure (BP) control.
Methods: Search was done between January 15, 2023 and June 20, 2023, in databases of Scopus, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science (for English articles), as well as SID, IranMedex and Magiran (for Persian articles). Educational intervention studies about controlling BP were selected. The keywords used for the search were “BP,” “HPN,” “hypertensive,” “high BP,” “HTN,” “education,” “health education,” “educational intervention,” “effectiveness,” “interventions” and “training methods.” The Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) was used to determine the quality of selected studies. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and checklist were used for reporting.
Results: After searching the aforementioned electronic databases, 4467 related articles (2655 in English and 1812 in Persian) were retrieved. A total of 2625 articles were duplicates, and 1821 articles did not match the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were removed. Finally, 21 studies (10 English and 11 Persian articles) entered the review. In these studies, various individual or community-based interventions were applied, including family-centered, person-centered, texting, training in group sessions, multiple interventions, and community-based interventions. Different methods were used for education, such as lectures, questions and answers (Q&A), group discussion, face-to-face training, counseling, telephone consultation, and PowerPoint presentations. The results showed the positive effect of the designed educational interventions in controlling HPN; however, studies aimed at self-care education were more effective.
Conclusion: Different types of educational interventions and training methods were effective in the control of HTN. Educational interventions are a cheap and applicable way to promote self-care behaviors in hypertensive patients.
