Impact of Advanced Practical Nursing Intervention Versus Usual Care on Hypertension Control
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
APN intervention: Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) intervention between the ambulatory hospitalization (AH) and the MD consultation APN intervention is divided into five main steps: * clinical and paraclinical examinations, * appraisal of patient's knowledge, * health education on hypertension and treatments, * setting a written medication plan with the patient to invest him in his management with adjusting or renewing treatments identically if necessary * decision-making balance between the benefits and risks of non-adherence to medication. A time is scheduled at the end of the intervention to let the patient ask questions or express his difficulties if he needs to.
Study summary
Hypertension is the most frequent chronic pathology in France and in the world. It is one of the main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. In France, 50% of treated hypertensives are uncontrolled and only 30% of treated patients are fully adherent to their antihypertensive treatment. Poor adherence to drug treatments is considered as one of the main causes of non-control of hypertension.
Since 2018, a new profession has entered the French healthcare system: Advanced Practice Nurses (APN). They have many broad skills, at the interface of nursing and medical exercises.
The purpose of this interventional study is to assess the impact of APN on blood pressure (BP) control in the context of usual care of hypertension thanks to a better adhesion of patients and a better therapeutic alliance.
The hypothesis formulated is that an individual APN intervention, included in a usual hypertension management, improves BP control.
