简要总结
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of a four-module nutrition education resource promoting nonpharmacological approaches to prevent and manage hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the educational intervention increase the knowledge of using nonpharmacological approaches in preventing and managing hypertension among participants?
- Does the educational intervention improve participants' lifestyle behaviors to prevent and manage hypertension? Researchers will compare a four-module educational intervention with a control group (no educational information received until after the study) to see if the educational intervention works to improve knowledge and healthy lifestyle behaviors in preventing and managing hypertension.
Participants will:
- Attend a 30-minute workshop every week for 4 weeks or no workshop at all
- Complete a survey on demographic information, knowledge, lifestyle behaviors, and quality of life at baseline and end of the study
- Complete a dietary 24-hour food recall at baseline, two weeks into the study, and at the end of the study
- Monitor blood pressure levels two times a day for four weeks
详细描述
Study Design:
This study is a randomized controlled trial with 30 participants randomly divided into control (n=15) and intervention (n=15) groups.
Pre- and post-survey Assessment:
All participants completed a comprehensive self-administered survey at baseline, which included:
- Knowledge related to hypertension and its management
- Lifestyle behaviors (diet, physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking status)
