Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program implemented at the primary healthcare level in Ninh Binh province, Vietnam. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-intervention assessments and a comparison group was employed at six commune health stations. A total of 470 patients with hypertension were followed throughout the study period from 2021 to 2023. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using an electronic questionnaire, conducted both before and after the intervention. The data were then analyzed using Stata software, applying the Difference-in-Differences (DID) approach to evaluate the intervention outcomes. The results showed significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, lifestyle modification practices, treatment adherence, and regular follow-up visits among patients in the intervention group compared to the control group. The intervention model demonstrated both feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing hypertension management at the primary healthcare level. The study recommends scaling up this model and integrating it into community-based chronic disease management programs.
