Abstract
Diagnostic information from medical tests or procedures can significantly affect how patients view their health and well-being and may influence treatment outcomes. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an important tool used in the diagnosis and management of hypertension.1 Pharmacists in ambulatory care settings are increasingly involved in using ABPM. The potential psychological effect of undergoing ABPM is unknown and not typically considered when referring patients for ABPM. We measured the effect of ABPM on patients’ perceptions of their health and well-being in a sample of patients referred to the pharmacist-managed ABPM referral service at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
