ObjectiveTo evaluate the management effect of the information-motivation-behavioral (IMB) model combined with remote health management under family doctor mode in weak empty-nest elderly patients with essential hypertension in underdeveloped areas. MethodsA total of 200 weak empty-nest elderly patients with essential hypertension were selected from Beihu Nanmian Community Health Service Center, Xixiangtang District, Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, among which patients who voluntarily signed the family doctor services contract were the intervention group (n=100), and those who did not signed the family doctor services contract were the control group (n=100). The control group was given essential hypertension health management services in community standards, based on which the intervention group was given IMB model combined with remote health management under family doctor mode additionally. Both groups were intervened for 6 months. The hypertension knowledge awareness, blood pressure control effect, and the medication compliance were compared between the two groups. ResultsAfter 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months of intervention, the score of the hypertension knowledge awareness questionnaire in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group, medication compliance of the intervention group was better than that of the control group, and the diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (all P＜0.05). ConclusionThe IMB model combined with remote health management under the family doctor mode helps to improve hypertension knowledge awareness, blood pressure control effect, and medication compliance in weak empty-nest elderly patients with essential hypertension.
