Hypertension care PPT free

The first is the "Chronic Disease Management Education Resource Library" on the official website of the Department of Primary Health of the National Health and Medical Commission, the second is the "Public Science Resource Open Area" on the official website of the Chinese Nursing Association, and the third is the historical resource column of the domestic head care public accounts "Nursing Time" and "Nurse Network". All content has been reviewed by professional committees and can be accessed directly without forwarding likes or bundling downloads.

Last month, I helped the nurses at the community health service center look for PPTs for educational purposes. The first pitfall I encountered was the first few articles I found on a certain website. Either you had to become a member to download the full version, or the content was still stuck in the old guideline from 2018, even the "China Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension 2" The new diagnostic criteria of 130/80mmHg in the 2023 Revised Edition have not been updated, and some have inserted a bunch of messy advertisements for antihypertensive health products. It is impossible to use it when explaining it to uncles and aunts. I am afraid that someone will ask me where to buy the so-called "antihypertensive tea" after reading it.

Many colleagues feel that free PPTs are not as adaptable as those made by oneself. I completely agree with this point - after all, the needs of different usage scenarios are far different: if you are doing health education for the elderly in the community, you can use the professional version of PPT for training nurses to give lectures. The full pages of RAAS systems and antihypertensive drug pharmacokinetics will make the elderly people confused, and it is purely a waste of effort. On the other hand, if you are providing professional training to new nurses in the department, it would seem too unprofessional to use a popular science version full of cartoons and big-character posters.

The three channels mentioned just now can cover most of your needs: the PPTs in the National Health Commission’s resource library are all in large fonts, with hand-drawn cartoons, and specially marked remarks on dialects. Even localized tips such as "eat less pickled radish and pickled cabbage" are left blank for you. They are completely tailor-made for grassroots propaganda.； The resources of the Chinese Nursing Association are more oriented toward clinical majors, with built-in assessment points, real case analysis, and the latest nursing evidence-based basis. Modifications can be used as department business learning courseware. ； Many of the public accounts were compiled and uploaded by front-line clinical nurses themselves, and they included a lot of practical tips that are not found in the official PPT, such as how to choose a suitable blood pressure cuff for obese patients with excessive arm circumference, and how to persuade old patients who refuse to quit smoking to take medication obediently. These are all practical tips accumulated through countless pitfalls.

Last week, I was doing high blood pressure education in the community. I used the one I downloaded from the official website of the National Health Commission and added two pages of real local cases: Uncle Zhang, who lives in Building 3 of our community, used to think that "the medicine is only three parts poisonous" and he didn't need to take antihypertensive medicine if he didn't feel dizzy. He secretly stopped taking antihypertensive medicine for half a year. As a result, he had a cerebral infarction while clearing snow last winter and was sent to the ICU. Now the left side of his body is still weak. After I finished speaking, three aunties pulled me on the spot and asked me if I should check my blood pressure because I occasionally felt dizzy recently. Another old man said that he should take the amlodipine he secretly stopped when he got home, which would be more effective than me reading the ten pages of the guide.

Of course, I have to remind everyone that not all PPT marked "free" can be used casually. I have seen a nurse in the same hospital download a set of PPT marked "free download" from a paid document platform, change it and post it on his popular science account. As a result, the original author came to sue for infringement, and finally paid a few thousand in compensation to settle the matter. The resources from the three channels mentioned just now are all officially open and non-commercially authorized. As long as they are not used for sale, they can be used casually for education and business learning. If they are modified and distributed to the public platform, there will be no problem if the source is clearly marked.

Some colleagues also told me that if it took more than ten minutes to find free PPT, it would be better to make it myself in half an hour. This is indeed a matter of opinion. If the content you need is particularly customized, such as combining special cases in your department or making courseware for a municipal nursing competition, then it will definitely be easier and more effective to do it yourself from scratch. But if it is just for regular community education and department monthly business learning, the ready-made free PPT can be modified and used. It can save half an hour to check two more rooms and provide health education to two more inpatients. Why not?

By the way, if you can't find the resource entrance when you are looking for it, just leave a message in the comment area, and I will send you a direct link privately. They are all in the nursing field. They are usually too busy to touch the ground, so I can save you some time.

Oh, by the way, if you plan to give it to the elderly after getting the PPT, remember to change the "sodium intake should not exceed 5g per day" in it to "just the amount of an ordinary beer bottle cap, and the salt in pickles, soy sauce, and bacon that you usually eat must be included." Grandpas and aunts will understand it as soon as they hear it, and the effect will be much better~
