Effect evaluation of community follow-up intervention among hypertensive patients

ObjectiveTo study the effect of community follow-up intervention among hypertesive patients.MethodsOverall 219 hypertensive patients were intervened by one year follow-up with cluster sampling in Yulin community, Urumuqi city.The results of surveillance in 100 hypertensive patients were used to evaluate the indicators of the intervention including physiological index.ResultsThe treatment rate,the notable effective rate and effective rate of blood pressure control were raised by 19.97,29.74 and 36.54 percent,respectively.The average systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were decreased by 7.56 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)and 4.92 mmHg,respectively.The ratios of taking exercise and light diet among the patients were raised by 26.02 and 19.26 precent,respectively(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Smoking and alcohol drinking rates were decreased,and the desrease of drinking rate was statistically singificant (P<0.05).The usage of salt limitation scoop was 72.82 percent(P<0.01).Percentage of subjects with daily salt intake lower than 6 g were 96.67% in 100 hypertensive patients after the community-based follow-up intervention.The average blood glucose and lipids were decreased,and the decreases of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-c were statistically significant(P<0.01).ConclusionThe results indicate that the communmity-based comprehensive intervention for hypertensive patients is effective and feasible.
