Abstract

This descriptive research aimed to study the factors affecting medication use behaviors of hypertension patients in Nongphayom Sub-District, Taphan Hin District, Phichit Province. The study subjects were 131 hypertension patients at NCDs clinic of Nongphayom Health Promotion Hospital. Data collected using a set of questionnaires and analyzed by descriptive statistics and the stepwise multiple regression analysis.              The results showed that mean scores of medication use behaviors of hypertension patients were at a moderate level. The medication use behaviors (Beta = 0.192), family support (Beta = 0.531), and attitude towards the treatment (Beta = 0.185) together significantly affected medication use behaviors, which accounted for 54% of explained variance in medication use behaviors (p<0.05). The results indicated that the health system should be programmed to develop a good attitude especially medication use as well as enabling of primary health competency acquisition, including family, social, public health personnel and village health volunteer supporting medication use in hypertension patients, and develop research for medication use behaviors modification among hypertension patients.
