An interventional study of automated instant message-guided hypertension management intervention group in Stroke, Hypertension and Lifestyle Modifications, sponsored by The University of Hong Kong. Completed at 7 sites in Hong Kong. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-11.
Sponsored by The University of Hong Kong · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This pilot and feasibility study aims to develop an automated instant message-delivered intervention (i.e., EMI) for hypertension management in stroke survivors, and to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention.
Intervention group:
Participants in intervention group will receive the EMI for 4 weeks. Based on the steps of mobile message development recommended by Abroms, et al., we will develop a message content library and protocol for EMI delivery.
Message delivery
Control Group:
The control group will receive one instant message about general stroke management including hypertension management from the Hospital Authority of HK SAR Government website (https://www21.ha.org.hk/smartpatient/SPW/en-US/Disease-Information/Disease/?guid=29ac1219-3d68-4378-a2bd-09e111da3650), which is open to the public.
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,007 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 50 across 5,369 interventional studies indexed under Stroke.

Behavioral: automated instant message-guided hypertension management intervention group
The control group will receive instant messages about general stroke management including hypertension management from the Hospital Authority of HK SAR Government website, which is open to the public (https://www21.ha.org.hk/smartpatient/SPW/en-US/Disease-Information/Disease/?guid=29ac1219-3d68-4378-a2bd-09e111da3650), with reminder text messages of importance follow-up surveys.

Systolic blood pressure
A validated blood pressure monitor will be used to evaluate the participants' blood pressure. A higher systolic blood pressure number indicates higher blood pressure.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Diastolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure
A validated blood pressure monitor will be used to evaluate the participants' blood pressure. A higher diastolic blood pressure number indicates higher blood pressure.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Self-efficacy (Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire)
Each item was scored on an 11-point scale (0 "not at all confident" to 10 "very confident"). The total score is calculated by summing up the score of all items (range 0-130). High scores indicate greater self-efficacy.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Quality of life (EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level questionnaire)
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessed, health related, quality of life questionnaire. The scale measures quality of life on a 5-component scale including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Higher scores indicate worse quality of life.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Feedback on Instant Message-Guided Hypertension Management Intervention
We will conduct a broad assessment of participant feedback in this blood pressure management program, covering aspects such as the perceived value of the program. Each area will be evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale, where higher scores will consistently indicate more positive assessments across all metrics.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Self-care of high blood pressure (SC-HI)
The SC-HI is a 23-item measure of self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management appropriate for persons with chronic HTN. Each dimension is scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting more effective self-care behavior.
Time frame: 4 weeks
