Abstract

Introduction: Restrictions on mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic have worsened lifestyle and made it harder for people with hypertension to manage their condition, which can lead to complications. Knowledge and attitude have a significant correlation toward hypertension self-management. This study aimed to determine the correlation between knowledge and attitudes of hypertensive patients toward hypertension self-management practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The method used was a descriptive-analytic correlation with a cross-sectional approach.  The sample used was 50 hypertensive patients aged ≥ 15 years old, samples obtained through the accidental sampling technique. Data collection through the google form online questionnaire containing a modified Indonesian version of the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice Level of Hypertensive Patients on Lifestyle Modification questionnaire. Statistical test for bivariate using Pearson and Spearman correlation. Result: The study found that 54% respondents had good knowledge and practice, and 50% had a positive attitude toward hypertension self-management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Poor hypertension self-management practices include 56% of respondents did not exercise; 54% did not plan a diet to control blood pressure; 32% did not measure blood pressure regularly; and 46% did not take antihypertensive drugs. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a correlation between knowledge (p = 0.000; r = +0.320), and attitudes (p = 0.001; r = +0.471) toward hypertension self-management practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The study results showed that the correlation is positive, but the strength of the correlation is weak. therefore, it is necessary to educate the public regarding hypertension and self-management during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially regarding the definition of hypertension, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications to control hypertension.   Keywords: Attitude; COVID-19; Hypertension; Knowledge; Self-management
新冠肺炎大流行期间高血压自我管理实践知识与态度的相关性
导览:2019冠状病毒病大流行期间对行动的限制使生活方式恶化,使高血压患者更难控制病情,这可能导致并发症。知识和态度对高血压自我管理有显著相关。本研究旨在了解新冠肺炎大流行期间高血压患者高血压自我管理实践知识和态度的相关性。方法:采用描述性相关分析和横断面方法。样本为50例年龄≥15岁的高血压患者,样本采用随机抽样技术。通过google表单在线问卷收集数据,该问卷包含一份修改过的印尼语版高血压患者关于生活方式改变的知识、态度和实践水平问卷。使用Pearson和Spearman相关对双变量进行统计检验。结果:研究发现,54%的受访者对新冠肺炎大流行期间的高血压自我管理有良好的认识和实践,50%的受访者对高血压自我管理持积极态度。不良的高血压自我管理做法包括56%的受访者不锻炼;54%的人没有计划通过饮食来控制血压;32%的人没有定期测量血压;46%的人没有服用抗高血压药物。双变量分析显示,知识与知识之间存在相关性(p = 0.000;R = +0.320),态度(p = 0.001;r = +0.471)对COVID-19大流行期间高血压自我管理实践的影响。结论:研究结果显示,二者呈正相关,但相关强度较弱。因此,有必要在COVID-19大流行期间对公众进行有关高血压和自我管理的教育,特别是关于高血压的定义、药物依从性和改变生活方式以控制高血压。关键词:态度;COVID-19;高血压;知识;自我管理
