No statistically significant difference was found between bimodal (verbal and printed) and multimodal (verbal, printed and electronic) educational interventions. Frequent contacts during patient education showed better outcomes of medication adherence. Conclusions: Verbal educational interventions can improve health literacy and consequent adherence to medication among individuals with hypertension. Frequent verbal educational interventions can enhance patient engagement, participation as well as promote medication literacy and adherence. Healthcare professionals should adopt innovative ways of ensuring regular follow-ups and making educational sessions more interactive and useful to patients.]]> Fri 29 Jul 2022 09:50:34 AEST ]]> A cross-sectional study of barriers to cervical cancer screening uptake in Ghana: an application of the health belief model https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38119 0.003). Conclusions: Married women, unemployed and those with no formal education are less likely to participate in CC screening. The study details significant barriers to cervical cancer screening uptake in Ghana.
