To apply qualitative research methods in developing a culturally tailored, educational workbook for hypertensive black patients.
The workbook was developed using formative qualitative data from 60 black primary care patients with hypertension. Participants were interviewed using qualitative methods and data were analyzed through sequential steps of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. From these analyses, themes describing patients' cultural beliefs about hypertension were derived and used to develop the workbook.
The workbook, "Living With Hypertension: Taking Control" is a 37-page illustrated workbook with 11 chapters based on patients' perceptions of hypertension. These chapters focus on strengthening participants' ability to take control and manage hypertension and on providing knowledge and health behavior techniques.
Qualitative research methods were used to inform the development of a culturally tailored educational workbook.
The workbook developed in this study may offer a practical and effective means of educating patients about blood pressure control in primary care settings.
运用定性研究方法为黑人高血压患者开发一本具有文化适应性的教育手册。
该手册的开发采用了来自 60 名黑人初级保健高血压患者的定性形成性数据。参与者通过定性方法接受访谈,通过开放编码、轴向编码和选择性编码的连续步骤进行数据分析。从这些分析中,得出了描述患者对高血压的文化信仰的主题,并用于开发该手册。
这本名为《高血压生活:掌控》的手册是一本 37 页的有插图手册,共有 11 章,基于患者对高血压的看法。这些章节侧重于增强参与者控制和管理高血压的能力,并提供知识和健康行为技巧。
定性研究方法被用于为一本具有文化适应性的教育手册的开发提供信息。
本研究中开发的手册可能为在初级保健环境中教育患者控制血压提供了一种实用有效的方法。
