The most commonly described determinants at the patient level were lack of education , lack of self-awareness , lack of self-efficacy , and forgetfulness .
Clinical inertia and an inadequate health workforce were the most commonly targeted determinants at the health care team and system level .
Taking medication , interactive patient-provider communication , self-measurement , and lifestyle management were the most cited patient behaviors at both levels .
Most of the DIs did not include support from peers or family members , despite its reported effectiveness and the rate of social media penetration .
Background Information on how behavior change strategies have been used to design digital interventions ( DIs ) to improve blood pressure ( BP ) control or medication adherence ( MA ) for patients with hypertension is currently limited .
Objective Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and can be controlled with appropriate medication .
Many interventions that target MA to improve BP are increasingly using modern digital technologies .
This systematic review was conducted to discover how DIs have been design ed to improve MA and BP control among patients with hypertension in the recent 10 years .
Comparing the effects of education using telephone follow-up and smartphone-based social networking follow-up on self-management behaviors among patients with hypertension
Background : Little is known about the benefits of social networks in the management of patients . Objective : The aim of this study was to compare the effects of self-management ( SM ) education using telephone follow-up and mobile phone-based social networking on SM behaviors among patients with hypertension . Methods : This r and omized clinical trial was conducted with 100 patients . They were r and omly allocated to four groups : ( i ) control , ( ii ) SM training without follow-up , ( iii ) telephone follow-up and ( iv ) smartphone-based social networking follow-up . The hypertension SM behavior question naire was used for data collection before and six weeks after the study . Results : Those patients who underwent SM education training ( with and without follow-up ) had statistically significant differences from those in the control group in terms of SM behaviors ( p < .001 ) . There was no statistically significant difference between different types of follow-up . Conclusion : SM education using telephone follow-up and /or smartphone-based social networking follow-up influenced SM behaviors among patients with hypertension
