Nurse-led interventions in the interim: waiting on universal health coverage.

AIM
The aim of the study was to test a nurse-led intervention to enhance lifestyle modification and improve hypertension outcomes.


BACKGROUND
Hypertension is the leading modifiable contributor to non-communicable disease morbidity and mortality affecting more than 25% of adults in Uganda.


METHODS
A mixed-method study was conducted to evaluate nurse-led interventions for hypertension. Group education and support with text message follow-up was the bundled interventions implemented in an outpatient clinical setting.


CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS
The statistically favourable outcomes of the nurse-led interventions support a cost-effective approach to, with policy support, sustainably improve practice outcomes.
