Effectiveness of Female Community Health Volunteers Training on Hypertension Knowledge and Blood Pressure Measurement Skills in Nepal

"We conducted one day of training for FCHVs and four different groups of FCHVs from two municipalities. We conducted training on hypertension knowledge and blood pressure measurement skills for FCHVs. Studies from Nepal show that with appropriate training, FCHV has the potential to promote hypertension education and conduct hypertension screening. Access to essential equipment such as digital blood pressure monitors, would improve FCHV performance on measuring blood pressure. Therefore, our training was to provide hypertension knowledge and to train FCHVs to measure blood pressure.~The training had two objectives referring to enhancing knowledge and building skills."
