What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led primary healthcare intervention model designed for women aged 45 to 64 in Hong Kong. The intervention focuses on improving health management related to conditions such as vasomotor symptoms, urinary incontinence, anxiety, depression, and osteoporosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a control group, with assessments made on medical resource use, health confidence, self-management, quality of life, and health condition risk levels over time. The study also seeks to develop an evidence-based model for women's health management in primary care settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Hong Kong female residents aged 45 to 64 who can read and communicate in Chinese.
Not a fit: Patients with terminal illnesses, severe psychiatric disorders, or significant cognitive impairments may not benefit from this intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could enhance women's health management and improve quality of life for middle-aged women in Hong Kong.
How similar studies have performed: While nurse-led interventions have shown promise in various healthcare settings, this specific model targeting women's health in Hong Kong is relatively novel.
