Assessment of hypertensive patients' self-care agency after counseling training of nurses

“…No further education was provided during the study period. The results of this counseling training on the communication of nurses with their patients and on patient variables (blood pressure, blood lipids, smoking, taking snuff, weight, waist circumference, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption, perceived stress) have previously been reported (Drevenhorn et al, 2006(Drevenhorn et al, , 2007Drevenhorn, Bengtson, & Kjellgren, 2009;Drevenhorn, Bengtson, Nilsson, Nyberg, & Kjellgren, 2012). The patient inclusion criteria were hypertensive patients consulting nurses at health centers, men and women aged <75, systolic blood pressure ࣙ160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ࣙ90 mmHg, body mass index ࣙ25 kg/m 2 , serum cholesterol ࣙ6.5 mmol/L and/or serum triglycerides ࣙ2.3 mmol/L, and no reporting of regular physical activity.…”
