Abstract
Hypertension is a chronic disease that consumes considerable medical resources. The aim of this study is to evaluate a model able to develop and assess the effectiveness of a mobile application disease self-management programme regarding mental health and self-management for patients with hypertension. A randomised controlled trial and single-blind random assignment was employed to group the participants. A total of 100 patients were collected from the cardiology clinic of a teaching hospital in Taiwan. There were 50 participants in each group: the mobile application group (experimental group) and the routine care (control group). The primary outcome measures were mental health and self-management. This study discovered that the intervention improved the mental health and self-management of the experimental group. The results for the experimental group revealed significantly improved effects and outcomes superior to those of the control group. The study results verified that a mobile application disease self-management programme could improve the mental health and disease self-management of patients with hypertension.
