Abstract:
Despite the availability of safe and effective treatments, hypertension
diseases remain the leading cause of cardiovascular disease originating from
combined genetic, environmental, and social determinants. Blood pressure
monitoring and control to prevent and manage hypertension require systemeatic
and sustained approach and engagement across communities over time. This study
aimed to develop a how-to guidebook for self-blood pressure monitoring and control at home. A rapid review to map
and synthesize current literature about preventive and control measures and
activities for high blood pressure was conducted with 2 reviewers. Electronic databases such as PubMed, ProQuest and
Google Scholar were used to retrieve eligible studies. Only systematic review and interventional studies
published in English between 2015-2023 were considered. Out of 1356 retrieved studies, 21 studies met the
inclusion criteria. A how-to guidebook was developed based on the results from
a rapid review and Classification of
Hypertension Based on Office Blood Pressure (BP) Measurement recommended by the
International Society of Hypertension Global Hypertension Lines 2020. The
findings of this review highlighted that Eating a healthy diet, getting
regular exercise, limiting alcohol, not smoking, managing stress, and getting
enough sleep are major categories of measures and activities that
could play a role in the prevention and control of high blood pressure at home.
Based on the findings of the review, a how-to guidebook was developed. further
interventional study to test the effectiveness of a how-to guidebook in the
prevention and control of blood pressure at home is needed.
