Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be measured by the degree of feasibility and acceptability for conducting a trial comparing home blood pressure self-monitoring with the usual postpartum management of women who had preterm preeclampsia. Thus, the primary outcome will be the number (proportion) of eligible women remaining in the study at each scheduled visit (3, 6, and 12 months postpartum). Viability criterion will be considered whether at least 80% of the randomized population remain in the study up to one year follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the patients in the intervention group will self-monitor blood pressure according to the guidelines and that at least 80% of these will remain in the study within one year;It is believed that patients' anxiety during follow-up has a positive impact and is lessened in relation to the control group. This assessment will be carried out using a pre-established questionnaire about the state of anxiety;It is expected that adherence to the use of medications, when indicated, will be greater in the group that receives counseling than in the control group, this measurement will be obtained through clinical evaluation of patients on their outpatient returns.;It is believed that there will be improvements in the quality of life and development of healthy lifestyle more markedly in the intervention group, this evaluation will be carried out through questionnaires directed to these parameters and that will be applied in the outpatient return visits | — |
