This study describes the general knowledge about high blood pressure of husbands and wives using data from all 1,260 white spouse pairs from the 1982 Connecticut Blood Pressure Survey and examines the relationship between high blood pressure knowledge and control of hypertension. We found the average level of knowledge to be high; about 70% of the items were answered correctly. The correlation between spouses' knowledge about high blood pressure was significantly high (r = .41). Multiple regression analysis was used to control for other variables that might influence the spousal correlation in knowledge. When controlling for education, age, socioeconomic status, and hypertension status of both spouses, the correlation between spouses' knowledge remained significant (r = .24). Respondents' knowledge and spouses' knowledge about high blood pressure were significantly related to high blood pressure control among hypertensive persons, particularly to being aware of hypertension and being in current treatment.
本研究利用1982年康涅狄格州血压调查中1260对白人配偶的数据，描述了夫妻双方对高血压的一般认知，并探讨了高血压知识与高血压控制之间的关系。我们发现知识的平均水平较高；约70%的问题回答正确。配偶之间关于高血压的知识相关性显著较高（r = 0.41）。采用多元回归分析来控制可能影响配偶知识相关性的其他变量。在控制了夫妻双方的教育程度、年龄、社会经济地位和高血压状况后，配偶之间的知识相关性仍然显著（r = 0.24）。受访者及其配偶关于高血压的知识与高血压患者的高血压控制显著相关，尤其是与知晓高血压和正在接受治疗有关。
