Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

With an increasing prevalence of Hypertension around the world, chronic disease management has become an optimal issue. There are many components about hypertension management, such as diet, exercise, medication adherence and social support. As the current pandemic situation and the shortage of healthcare providers, the patients must be aware of health condition themselves. We need more efficacious approaches to achieve better hypertension management. Due to the traditional methods can't lead to better disease management, social support might improve the blood pressure control and their poor adherence to treatment.

This study aims to develop helping relationship from significant others in Hypertension patients adhere to healthy lifestyles. We plan to recruit patients in southern Taiwan medical center. Those who aged 18 years and over, diagnosed hypertension, taking at least one western antihypertensive medication once a day and those who have significant others. The trial will conduct in a medical center as a quasi-experimental study. Patients will be divide into two groups. They will all recept the knowledge of Hypertension. The intervention group will receive another information about how they conduct their helping relationship as significant others. After intervention, we will compare the blood pressure, medication adherence, lifestyles and helping relationship between intervention and control groups. All data will be analyzed by using SPSS.

The helping relationship by significant others would be beneficial to hypertension management. Participants are willing to control their blood pressure and reveal more consideration for their health.

Chronic disease depends on not only self efficacy but also the whole family support. With helping relationship by significant others, we can adjust care plan according to individual needs. Hope to reach the goal of whole person care.
