Abstract
This book presents a groundbreaking perspective on hypertension care by exploring the untapped potential of children as health advocates within their families. This book examines how children, when equipped with the right knowledge and motivation, can positively influence hypertensive adults to adhere to their treatment regimens. Rooted in health psychology, this work integrates cognitive and behavioral intervention models tailored to hypertension adherence. It demonstrates how educating children about hypertension can catalyze sustainable lifestyle changes and improved health outcomes for adult family members. By leveraging the power of familial relationships, this book offers a novel approach to chronic illness management, particularly in resource-limited, family-oriented contexts like India. Blending theory, empirical research, and practical applications, this book is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, public health policymakers, educators, and researchers seeking innovative, community-driven solutions to non-communicable diseases.
