Feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the phone based interventions under nurse guidance after stroke (pings) in ghana
PINGS is a clinical trial to evaluate a nurse-led mHealth technology - centered approach to maintaining BP control among recent stroke survivors with hypertension in Ghana. PINGS involves domiciliary BP self-monitoring, mobile phone consultations, phone alerts as reminders, and patient education via text messages. We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of PINGS from the perspective of health workers in general - not necessarily working in stroke rehabilitation.
