Improving anxiety screening for adults with hypertension: An integrative review

Listen to this summary

This integrative review aims to evaluate the existing research on the measurement of anxiety levels in adults with hypertension and its implications for clinical practice. The authors found a significant prevalence of anxiety disorders among hypertensive patients, particularly noting female sex as an independent risk factor, and emphasize the need for regular anxiety screenings to improve patient outcomes. They call for further longitudinal studies and randomized controlled trials to better understand the relationship between anxiety and hypertension.
