Health workers’ perspectives on self-monitoring of blood pressure by pregnant women: a qualitative study among community health workers, midwives, doctors and health system managers in Lombok, Indonesia
For SMBP to be valued by health workers and effectively integrated into the health system as a strategy for addressing HDPs, it needs to be accompanied by clear clinical and data management protocols, referral mechanisms, reassurance on the accuracy and trust in the self-monitored measurements and demonstration of timeliness in the provision of follow-up care for pregnant women.
