(1) Background: As times change, the detection rate of hypertension is increasing in the young and middle-aged population due to prevalent sedentary behaviors. The purpose of this study was to conduct a scoping review to identify and summarize the research on sedentary behavior in this population by separating it into five stages: the relationship between sedentary behavior and health; measurement modalities; influencing factors; interventions; and translational research in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension. (2) Methods: Using a scoping review research approach, the PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, and MEDLINE databases were used to search for the literature on this subject from the date of the database’s creation to 14 June 2022, and the behavioral epidemiology framework was used to classify the retrieved articles. (3) Results: A total of eight articles were included. Among them, there were six articles on the relationship between behavior and health, which includes blood pressure, insulin resistance, and the cardiovascular system; one article on the study of measurement methods, which was used for clinical decision making through decision trees; one article on influencing factors, which was divided into intrinsic and extrinsic factors; and no articles on intervention program development or the translation of intervention programs to further practice in this population. (4) Conclusions: Sedentary behavioral studies of young and middle-aged adults with hypertension are scarce and are generally carried out in the early stages of the condition. In the future, in-depth studies can be conducted on the dose–response relationship between sedentary behavior and health in this population; the development of easier and targeted measurement tools; the exploration of more influencing factors; and the effectiveness and translation of intervention programs.
Objective: This study aims to explore the awareness, attitudes, and actual usage of medical big data platforms among healthcare professionals to provide practical guidance and theoretical support for improving data quality for the development of medical informatization. Method: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 19 doctors and nurses from a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City between April and June 2024. Results: The analysis yielded seven major themes and nine subthemes: cognitive status, Value of Medical Big Data Platforms, data trust (subjective data, objective data), purposes of data recording (patient condition observation, self-protection, task completion), practical challenges (conflict between work purposes and recording requirements, inconsistent departmental training standards, influence of leadership style and team culture), standardization of data recording, and concerns about data privacy. Conclusion: The insufficient understanding of medical big data platforms among healthcare professionals affects the quality of data recording and research value, emphasizing the necessity of strengthening training, standardizing data recording, providing technical support, and ensuring data security.
Background: Hypertension is a high-risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and its management still needs to be improved. This study explains this situation from the perspective of delay of gratification and provides new ideas for hypertension management. Method: A qualitative study was used. Twenty-five community-based hypertensive patients were recruited via maximum variation sampling and purposive sampling. Semistructured interviews were conducted between June 2023 and August 2023 at a community hospital in central China. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically, and the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method was used to analyze the information. Results: The delay of gratification in the daily self-management process of hypertensive patients needs to be improved. A lack of long-term health goals, sensitivity to instant pleasure, and attention bias were the main barriers affecting the delay of gratification in hypertensive patients. Autonomous motivation and altruism are facilitating factors for delayed gratification in hypertensive patients. Conclusion: Medical staff should pay attention to the problem of low self-management levels in hypertensive patients and take the perspective of delay of gratification as a new perspective for targeted intervention in hypertensive patients. They should actively guide patients regarding emotions, cognition, coping strategies, etc., improve their delay of gratification level, and build a long-term health behavior system to achieve more effective disease management and health promotion.
