Aims: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions designed to improve hypertension self-management among elderly populations.
Information & Methods: This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Eligible studies were selected based on the PICOS framework and included randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and pre-post designs published between 2000 and 2024. Six electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, and Cochrane Library) were systematically searched. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program, and the Risk of Bias tool was utilized to evaluate bias in randomized studies.
Findings: This review included 15 studies, primarily randomized controlled trials, with sample sizes ranging from 20 to 253 participants. The educational interventions significantly enhanced self-management in elderly individuals with hypertension. Interventions, such as mobile application-based support, face-to-face group education, and telephone-based guidance led to improvements in key outcomes, including blood pressure control, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications. These programs also increased participants’ knowledge and self-efficacy in managing their condition. Notably, interventions targeting adherence to the dietary approach to stop hypertension diet demonstrated significant improvements in both dietary habits and physical activity, contributing to better overall hypertension management.
Conclusion: Educational and self-management interventions, particularly those integrating digital tools, effectively improve hypertension management in older adults.
