Abstract
Introduction
Antihypertensive medication non-adherence is an important cause of poor control in hypertension. The role of motivational interventions to increase antihypertensive medication adherence remains unclear.
Objective
To systematically review RCTs of motivational interventions for improving medication adherence in hypertension.
Methods
EMBASE and Pubmed were searched from inception to February 2019 for RCTs of motivational interventions for improving medication adherence in hypertension vs. usual care. Inclusion criteria: RCTs with motivational intervention to improve medication adherence in adults with hypertension. A blinded review was conducted by 2 reviewers. Disagreements were resolved by consensus/a third reviewer.
Data extraction and quality appraisal was performed using the risk of bias tool from cochrane collaboration. The meta-analyses of blood pressure control used random-effects models to report mean difference and 95% CIs. Primary outcome was medication adherence and second outcome was blood pressure control.
Results
The search methodology yielded 10 studies comprising 1171 participants. Medication adherence improved significantly in 5 studies. We could not perform pool analysis for this outcome due to different measurements of medication adherence. Seven trials reported significant results regarding blood pressure control.
On pooled analysis, motivational interventions were not significantly associated with a systolic blood pressure (mean difference, −0.06; 95% CI, −0.05 to 0.18; p = 0.63; I2 = 0.0%) or diastolic blood pressure (mean difference, −0.11; 95% CI, −0.10 to 0.31; p = 0.28; I2 = 23.8%) decrease or blood pressure control.
Conclusions
Motivational interventions seem to significantly improve medication adherence but not significantly blood pressure control in hypertension, although evidence is still being based on few studies, with unclear risk of bias.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
