“…Nevertheless, the frequency of validated devices available in Turkey was found to be low, 21,22 as in England, 23 indicating a world-wide problem. 24 As the number of validated wrist devices on the market was limited in Turkey and their price was more expensive than validated upper-arm devices, we believe most of the wrist devices owned by the patients were non-validated.…”

“…Owing to the rarity of validated devices on the market, [21][22][23]26 this could be a problem in some developed countries as well. This interpretation was supported by studies published in various countries, such as Canada, England, and Iran.…”

Background/Aims: The aims of this study are to assess the reasons of using sphygmomanometers at pharmacies and to evaluate their accuracy. Methods: 135 devices (118 aneroid, 1 mercury, and 16 automated) from 125 pharmacies (located in Samsun city center) were included in the study. A non-randomized, cross-sectional design was used for the study protocol which had two parts: assessment of devices and a questionnaire about the pharmacy and present sphygmomanometer(s). Results: 40 (30%) of the 135 sphygmomanometers were inaccurate. 65 (48%) of the devices were older than 1 year and there was no correlation between the duration of the ownership of the sphygmomanometers and their inaccuracy (p > 0.05). Blood pressure measurement is a frequent practice at pharmacies. The aneroid type of sphygmomanometers was common. A limited number of devices were checked for accuracy before. The number of validated devices was low. Conclusion: Training programs for pharmacists including the accuracy of sphygmomanometers and regular checks of sphygmomanometers for accuracy will be beneficial to the community and to the subjects requesting measurement of blood pressure at the pharmacies.

“…Like traditional BP measurement, HBPM should also be accurate and performed according to existing guidelines . Several authors have highlighted the possible pitfalls that occur during self‐measurement and investigated the reliability of different BP‐measuring devices . However, the literature on patients' adherence to HBPM recommendations is limited to three surveys performed in one Danish hospital of a total of 355 patients .…”

Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is increasingly commonly performed, but the concordance between patient HBPM measurement technique and prevailing recommendations has not been well-assessed according to the literature. The authors performed a multicentric survey to evaluate the degree of patients' adherence to current recommendations on HBPM, and investigate potential predictors of a higher-quality self-measurement. A structured questionnaire was administered to 725 Italian outpatient hypertensive patients (mean age, 52.2AE14.4 years). Overall, ≥10 recommended procedures were followed by 52.8% of the participants; only 1.0% followed all recommendations.A total of 49.7% of participants rested for ≥5 minutes before the measurement, 36.8% recorded BP more than once in each measurement session, and 34.3% used a chair or bed saddle to support their back. Less than 40% of the patients received some form of training by health professionals. After multivariate analysis, patients receiving/reading instructions showed higher-quality HBPM (P<.01). The accuracy of HBPM needs to be improved, and more efforts should be devoted to provide patient training on HBPM, especially on the less-frequently followed recommendations.
