Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between relevant knowledge status and drug compliance among young and middle-aged patients with hypertension. Methods We designed questionnaires demonstrated by experts in this field about patients′ general information, status of knowledge related to hypertension and medication compliance. Results Concerning mastery of related knowledge, young and middle-aged patients with hypertension got higher scores in diagnostic criteria, and lower scores in self monitoring and drug treatment;it was statistically significant to compare the relevant knowledge status among young and middle-aged patients with hypertension from different educational backgrounds, occupations and income (P<0.05). Comparison of medication compliance showed statistical significance among patients with different mastery degree of knowledge concerning diagnostic criteria, symptoms, major complications, risk factors, self monitoring and drug therapy (P<0.05); while comparison of medication compliance showed no statistical significance among patients with different mastery degree of knowledge concerning intervention methods and severe hazard ( P>0. 05);it was showed in logistic regression analysis that factors influencing their medication compliance included their mastery degree of risk factors, major complications, drug therapy, self monitoring and diagnosis standard. Conclusions The relevant knowledge status and medication compliance of young and middle-aged patients with hypertension is low. Health education should be emphasized to patients with low level of education or with low income.
