About this trial
The aim of this project is to develop and validate an adaptive intervention model to improve self-management behavior in rural hypertensive patients. The primary question it seeks to answer is: Can a tailored, interaction-based intervention model, guided by key doctor-patient interaction elements, effectively enhance self-management behavior among rural hypertensive patients and improve long-term blood pressure control? Researchers will evaluate the impact of different intervention strategies on self-management behavior and identify the most effective combination to establish a sustainable intervention model for rural hypertension management.

Treatments tested in this trial
Standard Interactive Intervention for Hypertension Management
BehavioralThe standard interactive intervention is a doctor-patient interaction intervention conducted by follow-up physicians using an intelligent outbound call system as part of follow-up management. It is implemented once a month and is designed based on the Health Behavior Interaction Model, covering four key aspects: health information (e.g., potential risks of poor self-management behavior), professional skills(e.g., blood pressure measurement, medication guidance), emotional support , and decision-making participation.
Intensified Interactive Intervention for Hypertension Management
BehavioralThe enhanced interactive intervention builds upon the standard interactive intervention by increasing the frequency of interactions. In addition to the monthly intervention, patients receive an additional brief interactive intervention every two weeks via the intelligent outbound call system, reminding them to adhere to self-management behaviors for hypertension control.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Hypertension self-management behavior
Hypertension self-management behavior includes six dimensions: medication management, condition monitoring, dietary management, exercise management, work and rest management, and emotional management. Each item is scored on a 1 to 5 scale, with a total score ranging from 33 to 165. A higher total score indicates a higher level of self-management in patients.
