This study aimed to evaluate the effect of home telemonitoring on the control of high blood pressure in the Fangzhuang Community Health Center in Fengtai District, Beijing. A total of 110 hypertensive patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure were equally allocated to an intervention group and a control group randomly. The participants in the intervention group received home telemonitoring for blood pressure delivered by a team comprising a GP, a hypertension specialist, a general nurse and an information manager. The participants in the control group received the usual care. The levels of systolic and diabolic blood pressure of the participants were assessed on days 0 (baseline), 30, 90 and 180. On average, the intervention group had a greater reduction in blood pressure compared with the control by 6.6–8.0mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 0–3.0mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. Similarly, higher proportions of patients with normal blood pressure were achieved in the intervention group (63.6–71.2%) compared with the control (38.5–41.8%). The reduction in systolic blood pressure for the participants in the intervention group was positively correlated with the utilisation of the app (P<0.05). Home telemonitoring is effective in the control of high blood pressure.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension was an increase of blood pressure which caused damages on the target organs. Treatment therapy of hypertension patients was very complex and required a long period of time. Target of hypertension therapy was to keep the patient’s blood pressure controlled. Achieved therapeutic target was increasing adherence of patient medication. The success of treatment was not only influenced by the quality of health care but also influenced by the patient’s adherence to the treatment. Self-reminder card was a tool helping patients to avoid forget taking medicine. AIM: The aim of this research was to determine the effect of self-reminder card on the level of adherence to treatment in hypertension patients in 10 community health centers (Puskesmas) in Surabaya. METHODS: This research used QUASI experimental two groups pre-post prospective. Adherence measurement used Morisky, Green, Levine Adherence Scale questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed statistically. Research was conducted in May 2020 at the community health center in Surabaya. Research criteria are patients with hypertension diagnosis without comorbid disease who get antihypertensive therapy. RESULTS: The results of the study obtained 115 patients (55 control group patients and 60 intervention group patients). Statistical analysis using Mann–Whitney, there was a difference between the level of adherence to treatment in the control and intervention group with the value of p < 0.001. A test analysis using Wilcoxon signed-rank, there was a difference between the level of adherence to treatment before and after the intervention group with the value p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS: Self-reminder card was effective in increasing the level of adherence to the treatment of hypertension patients.

Ineffective nursing care at the community health center can, in part, be attributed to the lack of a proper supervision model. Supervision is a management function at the control stage which is carried out to direct nurses to work effectively and efficiently and reduce potential work problems. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, together with a control group design. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of supervision of the clinical model and supervision of academic models on the nursing service at the community health center in Sukabumi Regency. The sample was comprised of 40 people, and data analysis was performed using the General Linear Model Repeating Measure (GLM-RM). The results indicate that there was an increase in the value of nursing care following the intervention. The author saw that in the control group, although no intervention was carried out, they knew that they were being supervised by their supervisor, so that there was an increase in the value of nursing care, but the value was not as significant as that in the intervention group. Therefore, the study concludes that the academic method of supervision training is very effective in improving nursing care.   Keywords: Supervision of Clinical Models, Academic Models, Nursing Care

Abstract Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention in primary health care designed to increase physical activity in people with dementia and their family caregivers.Methods: A cluster-randomized multicentre clinical trial was carried out.Participants: 140 people with dementia (median age 82 years;63.6% women) and 176 caregivers (median age 62 years ;72.7% women). Seventy patients and 80 caregivers were assigned to the Control Group (CG) and 70 patients and 96 caregivers to the Intervention Group (IG). The physical activity was measured with the pedometer and with the IPAQ-SF questionnaire. The intervention consisted of applying in primary care the program promoting physical activity (PEPAF) for 3 months. The changes observed at 6 months were analyzed. Results:In people with dementia, in the pedometer assessment a decrease was observed in both groups, but it was larger in the CG both in the total number step/day lower in the IG than in the CG and in the aerobic steps / day (52.89 vs -615.93). The activity reported with the IPAQ-SF decreased more in IG, both in the MET/min/week (-258.470 vs -148.23) and in the MVPA min/week. In caregivers the pedometer assessment showed that total steps/day increased more in the IG, as did aerobic steps/day (356.91 vs -12.95). The IPAQ-SF a smaller increase in global activity was declared in the IG than in the CG (545.25 MET/min/week vs 609.55), but the increase in vigorous activity was greater. No differences were found in changes in the functional status and the cognitive performances of people with dementia nor in the mental health in the caregivers, but systolic blood pressure, the Family APGAR and overload in the IG did improve.Conclusions: The results suggest that the intervention carried out may be effective on physical activity in both patients and caregivers. It can also improve systolic blood pressure, the Family APGAR and overload in caregivers. This is the first study to implement a primary care intervention aimed at simultaneously increasing physical activity in people with dementia and their relatives. These results reinforce the importance of using objective measures in clinical trials in people with dementia.Trial registration number: NCT 02044887.
