Primary Outcomes
Adherence to antihypertensive medication
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Adherence to antihypertensive medication will be checked through a question in the cell phone and evaluation of patient´s use of antihypertensive medication will be checked from the National Prescribed Drug Register of drugs. Twenty patient-physician/nurse consultations will be audio/video-recorded at regularly scheduled appointments to obtain authentic evidence of the use of the self-reports in clinical practice. The outcomes will include blood pressure measurement, registration of self-reported symptoms and discourse analyses.
Secondary Outcomes
- Systolic blood pressure(8 weeks)
