Abstract:

Home monitoring is an effective intervention to help control BP. Despite the popularity of self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) with patients, and its endorsement in hypertension guidelines worldwide, previous research indicates that most people self-initiate SMBP with little consultation with a HCP. In the current literature the impact of SMBP within the doctor-patient consultation is underexplored. This qualitative study aimed to understand the process of communication relating to SMBP between patients and health care professionals (HCPs).
