Keywords:
factors, blood pressure control, behavior, hypertensionAbstract
Hypertension is a chronic disease with an increasing number of patients. If blood pressure levels are not controlled for long periods of time, complications can lead to disability and death. The purpose of this survey was to assess the factors associated with blood pressure control in hypertensive patients at Ban Rai hospital, Uthai Thani Province. The 151 hypertensive patients were asked to answer a questionnaire consisting of age, education level, family income, body mass index, duration of disease, awareness of hypertension disease, perceive of family support, self-efficacy and behavior of controlling blood pressure. The data was presented by number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and the Spearman correlation coefficient. The results showed that education level was positively correlated with blood pressure control behavior (r = 0.179, p = 0.028) and family income was negatively correlated with patients' blood pressure control behaviors (r = -0.171, p = 0.036). Disease perception and self-efficacy were positively correlated with blood pressure control behaviors (r = 0.355, p < 0.001 and r = 0.298, p < 0.001, respectively). Therefore, knowledge should be promoted in groups with low educational levels. There should have process to encourage hypertensive patients to know about the disease and self-efficacy in planning to promote and modify health behaviors to be able to control blood pressure
