Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of nurses with controlled blood pressure. The intervention aims to achieve a significant increase in the proportion of nurses with controlled blood pressure, from 40% at baseline (T0) to 60% after the intervention (T1), corresponding to an expected absolute gain of 20 percentage points. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Proportion of nurses with a reduction in mean systolic blood pressure. The expected effect is a decrease of 5 mmHg, which has been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events by 10%, regardless of baseline blood pressure or prior cardiovascular history (Blood Pressure Lowering Treatment Trialists’ Collaboration, Lancet, 2021;397:1625-36). 2. Proportion of nurses with reduced job strain. 3. Proportion of nurses with reduced burnout. 4. Proportion of nurses with improved knowledge of hypertension. | — |
