Keywords:
Hypertension, Health Belief Model, NutritionAbstract
This present study aimed to evaluate the food consumption behavior and analyze factors predicting food consumption behavior among hypertensive patients in Samoeng Tai Subdistrict, Samoeng District, Chiang Mai Province. Two hundred and seventy-one patients with hypertension, selected using a systematic random sampling method, were enrolled in the study. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The results showed that most of the study subjects had high levels of knowledge about dietary-related hypertension, perception of risk for complications, perception of the severity of hypertension, perception of benefits of the consumption of dietary-related hypertension, and perception of obstacles of dietary-related hypertension. Food consumption behaviors were at a medium level. The statistically significant predictors of food consumption behavior were age (β = 0.572) knowledge about dietary-related hypertension (β = - 0.318) perception of the severity of hypertension (β = 0.225) and perception of obstacles of dietary-related hypertension (β = - 0.150). The model explained 52.3% of food consumption behaviors (p-value < 0.001). These findings should be considered as a guideline for the development of activities to change the dietary behavior of patients with hypertension in preventing patients' complications.
