Abstract

African Americans have a higher prevalence and greater severity of hypertension than do other minorities and whites. This fact is particularly problematic when one realizes that the rate of control and treatment of hypertension in the US population is getting worse rather than better. Alternative strategies to promote blood pressure control need to be tested. The purpose of this pilot study was to test the following hypothesis: Persons who participate in nurse-managed home telemonitoring (HT) plus usual care or who participate in nurse-managed community-based monitoring (CBM) plus usual care will have greater improvement in blood pressure from baseline to 3 months' follow-up than will persons who receive usual care only. This study used a randomized controlled design; participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups that were stratified by use or nonuse of antihypertension medication. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) controlling for age and body weight were used to determine changes in blood pressure from baseline to 3 months. The sample contained 26 African Americans with a mean age of 59 years. Both the HT group and the CBM group had clinically and statistically significant (P <.05)...Continue Reading
