The role of training and medication reminder wristwatch in adherence to treatment in geriatric patients diagnosed with hypertension: A randomized controlled trial
Open accessAbstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the training and medication reminder wristwatch on treatment adherence in geriatric patients diagnosed with hypertension. Methods: In this study, which was conducted as a randomized clinical trial with a pretest‐posttest design, 90 patients were randomly divided into the training and medication reminder wristwatch (W) group ( n = 30) group, the training (T) group ( n = 30), and the control (C) group ( n = 30). All patients answered the data collection forms before and after the interventions. Results: By the end of the 12th week, the mean knowledge scores of the groups significantly differed from each other ( t = −13.207, P < 0.001). The mean Hypertension Compliance Assessment Scale score of the W group was found to be significantly lower ( t = 22.732, P < 0.001). The highest mean Medication Adherence Self‐Efficacy Scale–Short Form score was found in the W group ( t = −13.560, P < 0.001). In the posttest, the mean systolic blood pressure values of the patients were 142.7 ± 11.1 in the C group, 126.0 ± 13.0 mm Hg in the T group, and 120.0 ± 9.5 mm Hg in the W group (Kruskal–Wallis test = 38.065, P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that 12 weeks of a training program and the use of medication reminder wristwatches were effective in adherence to treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
