Abstract:
Background: Hypertension is a global health crisis, with projections indicating that over 1.5 billion individuals will be affected by 2025, significantly increasing the risks of heart disease and stroke. Despite effective treatments, only about 50% of hypertensive patients achieve optimal blood pressure control. Effective management often requires a collaborative approach involving healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and pharmacists.
Background: Hypertension is a global health crisis, with projections indicating that over 1.5 billion individuals will be affected by 2025, significantly increasing the risks of heart disease and stroke. Despite effective treatments, only about 50% of hypertensive patients achieve optimal blood pressure control. Effective management often requires a collaborative approach involving healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and pharmacists.
Methods: This review examines historical and contemporary studies focusing on team-based care strategies that incorporate pharmacists and nurses to enhance hypertension management. Emphasis is placed on controlled trials, systematic reviews, and innovative care models, including the Chronic Care Model (CCM) and Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH).
Results: Evidence indicates that team-based interventions significantly improve blood pressure outcomes. For instance, studies demonstrate that pharmacist-led initiatives can reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP) by an average of 10.7 mm Hg compared to standard care. Similarly, nurse-led interventions utilizing stepped-treatment algorithms have led to substantial decreases in SBP, particularly among diverse populations.
Conclusion: Collaborative care models that integrate nurses and pharmacists into hypertension management have shown promising results in enhancing patient outcomes. This approach not only improves blood pressure control but also fosters a patient-centered healthcare environment. Future research should address the integration of technology and further investigate the long-term sustainability of these interventions.
