Impact of a Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention for Hypertension: A Randomized Controlled Trial Examining Psychosocial and Environmental Determinants
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Climate-Adapted Self-Management Intervention in improving the quality of life among adults with hypertension. The study employed a two-phase design comprising a cross-sectional survey followed by a randomized controlled trial. The intervention was evaluated for its effects on quality of life, psychological distress, health behaviors, environmental determinants, and blood pressure.
