Medication and low salt diet adherence play as an essential factor in blood pressure target achievement. Community health worker empowerment was reported to be a highly effective social intervention to medication and low salt diet adherence.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of structured health education regarding hypertension on community health workers on medication and low salt diet adherence among hypertensive patients in Malang.
A quasi-experimental study was conducted in health workers and their hypertensive patients who join in the Integrated Health Service Post for the Elderly (IHSP-Elderly) program in Malang. Medication adherence was measured by the medication adherence questionnaire and low salt diet adherence was measured by dietary salt restriction questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Chi-square analysis for categorical data and independent -test for numerical data.
This study showed that hypertensive patients in the intervention group had better knowledge regarding hypertension compared to those of the control group ( < 0.05). The patients' satisfaction in intervention group improved significantly after health education ( < 0.01). The proportion of patients with good medication adherence improved significantly ( < 0.01) from 20% to 70% after health education in intervention group. Moreover, the proportion of patients with good low salt diet compliance improved significantly ( < 0.01) from 39% to 85%. Conversely, the proportion of good medication and low salt diet adherence in control group relatively similar between pre- and post-test.
This study showed that health education on community health workers improved hypertensive patients' medication and low salt diet adherence.
药物治疗和低盐饮食依从性是实现血压目标的关键因素。据报道,增强社区卫生工作者的能力是提高药物治疗和低盐饮食依从性的一种非常有效的社会干预措施。
本研究旨在调查针对社区卫生工作者开展的高血压结构化健康教育对玛琅高血压患者药物治疗和低盐饮食依从性的影响。
在玛琅参加老年综合健康服务站(IHSP-老年)项目的卫生工作者及其高血压患者中进行了一项准实验研究。通过药物依从性问卷测量药物依从性,通过饮食盐限制问卷测量低盐饮食依从性。分类数据采用卡方分析,数值数据采用独立样本t检验进行数据分析。
本研究表明,与对照组相比,干预组的高血压患者对高血压的了解程度更高(P<0.05)。健康教育后,干预组患者的满意度显著提高(P<0.01)。干预组健康教育后,药物依从性良好的患者比例从20%显著提高到70%(P<0.01)。此外,低盐饮食依从性良好的患者比例从39%显著提高到85%(P<0.01)。相反,对照组药物和低盐饮食依从性良好的比例在测试前后相对相似。
本研究表明,对社区卫生工作者进行健康教育可提高高血压患者的药物治疗和低盐饮食依从性。
