Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity worldwide and may have persistent health effects during the postpartum period. Women with HDP are at increased risk of sustained hypertension and adverse cardiovascular outcomes after childbirth. Effective postpartum self-management, including blood pressure (BP) monitoring, psychological well-being, and the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors, is essential for improving long-term maternal health.
eHealth technologies have been increasingly used to support patient self-management by providing accessible health information, self-monitoring tools, and behavioral support. However, evidence regarding mobile applications specifically designed for postpartum women with HDP remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a self-management mobile application designed for postpartum women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Eligible participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the self-management application or a usual care control group. The intervention supports blood pressure (BP) monitoring, health education, and lifestyle management during the postpartum period.
This study aim to investigate the effectiveness of a self-management mobile App on blood pressure, stress, depression, and health-promoting lifestyles among postpartum women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).
