About this study

Official title: Home BP Monitoring with Lifestyle Changes and Mindfulness Practices to Improve Hypertension Control

The goal of this single group pre-post-study is to test the possibility of self-monitoring with shared medical appointments program for lifestyle education in improving blood pressure (BP) of patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

The main questions it aims to address is:

Read more
  1. To assess if patients with uncontrolled hypertension and their physicians will be interested in trying a program that includes self-monitoring with 6-week support for lifestyle changes and coping skills to improve BP and hypertension control.
  2. To assess if patients with uncontrolled hypertension can safely participate in a program that includes self-monitoring with 6-week support for lifestyle changes and coping skills to improve their BP and ability to self-manage hypertension

Participants will:

  • Send self-reports of their home BPs, diet, physical activity and emotions
  • Attend 6-week education program of lifestyle changes and coping skills delivered by physicians, holistic psychotherapists and yoga therapists.
Read the detailed description

Participants will be taught the proper use of Home BP machines using a teach-back technique. Patients will be loaned valid home BP machines.

Participants will be taught how to send self-reports of their home BP, diet, physical activity and emotions using an app on their phone.

Participants will be signed up for a 6-week educational program of lifestyle changes and coping skills delivered by physicians, holistic psychotherapists and yoga therapists.

Participants will receive summary reports of their Home BP, lifestyle and emotions.

Researchers will monitor home BP levels and any adverse effects. Primary care physicians of the patients with persisting high BP levels will be notified of their average home BPs. Patients will complete surveys that assess their ability to self-manage their hypertension, emotions, and social connections. Change in average home BP from before, during, and after 6-week educational program participation will be evaluated. Final average home BP and clinic BP notifications will be sent to the primary care physicians of all patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients with uncontrolled hypertension referred or self-referred for self-monitoring and lifestyle education program by physicians or patient self-referrals

    Investigators will measure the percentage of patients with uncontrolled hypertension that were referred or self-referred to and enrolled per month in the program for self-monitoring and lifestyle changes.

    Measured: Up to 10 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in mean BP measured by mm of Hg

    Change in average home BP in mm Hg from before, during, and after the 6-week educational program participation will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

  2. Percentage of study participants that change from uncontrolled hypertension state to controlled hypertension state.

    Change in the percentage of study participants with uncontrolled hypertension from before, during, and after the 6-week educational program participation will be evaluated.

    Measured: Upto 12 weeks

  3. Percentage of study participants that adhere to the self-monitoring and lifestyle education program

    Investigators will measure percentage of enrolled patients with uncontrolled hypertension that:

    • participated in at least 4 of the 6 weeks of education program
    • Preferred weekly educational materials instead of attending weekly shared medical appointments.
    • Sent self-reports of home BP at least 3days/week in 4 out of 6weeks

    Measured: Up to 10 months

  4. Percentage of study participants that did not benefit from self-monitoring and lifestyle education program as measured by persisting high BP of more than 160/100 and need for additional medications

    Investigators will measure percentage of enrolled patients with uncontrolled hypertension that:

    • had persisting average home BP>160/100
    • needed additional medications

    Measured: Up to 10 months

  5. Change in mean Self-efficacy scale

    The PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions item banks are well-validated and comprise of five domains, Self-Efficacy for Managing: Daily Activities, Symptoms, Medications and Treatments, Emotions, and Social Interactions. We will measure before, after the 6-week educational program participation, and 6 months later will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 6 months
