Summary

This study is conducted from the perspective of behavioral economics, where individuals often display bounded rationality in decision-making, opting for habitual choices rather than those most advantageous to themselves. Nudge strategies can utilize individuals\' cognitive and motivational shortcomings to influence behavior. Therefore, the study first examines the decision-making biases present in patients with hypertension (HP) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) regarding the maintenance of healthy behaviors based on individuals' bounded rationality; subsequently, it develops an intervention program to encourage healthy behaviors in HP and T2DM patients alongside nudge strategies; finally, it assesses the intervention effects of the program on blood pressure, blood glucose, and health behaviors in HP and T2DM patients.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

nudge

Nudge interventions are developed based on the scoping review and qualitative research by the research team, which involves commitment (behavioral contracts), norms (case and experience sharing), significance and framing effects (posters, health behavior identification posts), reminders, and incentives (arteriosclerosis detection). The content encompasses diet, physical activity, medication management, self-monitoring, and control of smoking and alcohol. From the viewpoint of bounded rationality in behavioral economics, and drawing on prior research that has pinpointed decision-making biases in patients' self-management behaviors, nudging strategies have been developed to assist individuals in overcoming these biases or to utilize the patterns of these biases to steer them toward making choices that are in line with their health.
