dc.description.abstract | This study scrutinized hypertension-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior
among patients with hypertension. It was performed with 88 hypertensive patients
in a community pharmacy in Sivas for one month. Suitably designed and pretested
questionnaire was used. Chi-square test was used and p<0.05 was accepted as significant. More than half of the participants correctly explained that people have a
family history of hypertension, diabetes, and overweight people. Among preventive
factors, only being physically active, reduced alcohol intake, and smoking cessation
had significance between males and females. When examined attitude, participants
opined that hypertension was a chronic disease that needs to be treated and can
be controlled for life long and reduction of alcohol intake, and smoking cessation
can prevent hypertension. Behavioral parameters such as regular monitoring of
blood preessure, not smoking and reduction of alcohol intake showed significance
between males and females. Participants had good knowledge, while they had poor
attitudes and behaviors. | en_US |
