Abstract: Objective To investigate current status of behavior management of non-dipper hypertension patients and provide information for clinical health education. Methods From February to December 2009, 100 outpatients and inpatients with non-dipper hypertension in our hospital were randomly sampled and telephone interview was conducted. Analyzed the results of the survey. Results 44% of the patients had healthy balanced diet. 48% of patients were trying to control blood pressure through moderate physical exercise. 20% of the patients were intended to control body weight. The drug compliance rate was only 56%. The overall correct rate of behavior management was no more than 33%. Conclusions The compliance of behavior management of non dipper hypertension patients is low.
