Brief Summary

Hypertension prevalence among Malaysian adults is high at around 30% and is also reported to be the highest risk factor for mortality in Malaysia. Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM) has been proven to improve blood pressure levels for at least twelve months when used in conjuction with co-inventions such as education interventions or support from health care professionals. Social media has been described as having a favourable role in health interventions due to its popularity with vast numbers of users particularly the younger adults, its advantages mainly in health communication with patients, plus its promising impact on behavioural change. It has been reported that around 15% of those with hypertension are young adults; aged between 18-39 years. Therefore, this may be a good start to plan an intervention program on hypertension using the concept of short videos as popularised by social media; particularly on home blood pressure monitoring. As students are future doctors and can act as advocate in sharing important healthcare knowledge to family members and friends, they are the best candidate to be chosen as subjects of this research.
