Abstract Background: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is recommended for diagnosis, treatment adjustment and management of most hypertension cases in hypertension guidelines from multiple countries. This study aimed to evaluate HBPM behaviour and explore the routine-practice gap in HBPM among Chinese adults with hypertension. Methods: Data were collected from 20 communities across three cities and six townships in three provinces (Beijing, Shandong and Jiangsu) in China between October 2014 and November 2014. In total, 2,272 patients with hypertension aged ≥35 years that were registered with a primary health station in their local communities were selected by simple random sampling. Results: Among the 2,272 participants, 45.3% owned a home blood pressure (BP) monitor. In addition, 27.5% (625/2,272) engaged in HBPM weekly or more frequently. Healthcare providers’ advice was the strongest factor contributing to home BP monitor ownership and weekly HBPM behaviour, with odds ratios of 13.50 and 8.97, respectively. Approximately 4.4% of participants had achieved optimal HBPM regimens (duplicate measurements in the morning and evening for 7 days). Patients with uncontrolled office-measured BP were more likely to conduct HBPM regularly in the morning and evening, measure their BP two or three times in each session and maintain 7 consecutive days of HBPM than patients with controlled office BP (8.8% vs. 5.8%, P=0.042; 14.3% vs. 8.1%, P=0.002; and 19.9% vs. 12.4%, P=0.005, respectively). Only 16.0% (165/1,030) of participants actively reported their HBPM readings to doctors. Conclusion: The HBPM strategies specified in hypertension guidelines are seldom achieved in actual practice in China. Only a small proportion of patients actively participate in using HBPM to enhance their hypertension care. HBPM may be improved by healthcare providers offering specific advice and training.
