Devoid Knowledge and Low Adherence Precipitate Uncontrolled Blood Pressure : A Depiction From Cross-Sectional Study
OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed to assess knowledge regarding disease, adherence to medication and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 384 hypertensive patients attending a tertiary care, public sector hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan, was conducted. Data was collected by using Urdu versions of pre-validated hypertension knowledge questionnaire and Medication Adherence Scale by Morisky. Each patient's blood pressure was measured through a calibrated mercury sphygmomanometer. Data was analyzed statistically by using SPSS software version 21.0. Chi-square test was performed to determine association level among study variables. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to assess for statistically significant differences of demographic variables with systolic BP and diastolic BP. Multiple regression was used to predict the impact of two or more independent variables on dependent variable. P value of <.05 was considered to be significant.
RESULTS: Mean (SD) systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 384 patients were 140.39 ± 15.485 and 88.74 ± 10.683 in mmHg respectively. The mean knowledge score was (13.26 ± 5.16 out of 22) and median score was 13. 103 (26.8%) of the patients had poor knowledge, whereas, 191 (49.7%) had moderate knowledge regarding hypertension with most of them at bottom line in the scale of moderate knowledge. The mean medication adherence score was (4.66 ± 2.743 out of 8), while 204 (53.1%) were categorized as poor adherent.
CONCLUSION: The current study concluded that knowledge regarding hypertension, adherence to treatment and blood pressure control among hypertensive patients was found poor.
