Abstract

Objective: To measure healthy life awareness, blood pressure awareness and insight levels, along with their predisposing factors among adult individuals.

Design: A population-based cross-sectional study.

Sample: The population consisted of adult individuals in a rural district of a city in Türkiye. Voluntary individuals who visited the population screening, organized as the May Measurement Month activity, were invited to the study (n = 290).

Measurements: The data were collected by a questionnaire, the Healthy Life Awareness Scale (HeLAS), and the Blood Pressure Awareness and Insight Scale (BASIS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.

Results: The mean scores of the HeLAS and the BASIS were 49.62 ± 8.30 and 2.89 ± 1.43, respectively. Income level, regular physical activity habits, and formerly being diagnosed with hypertension were positively associated with a healthy life awareness level. Former diagnosis of hypertension, regular medication usage, and being unemployed were the significant predisposing factors of blood pressure awareness and insight level.

Conclusions: Most adult individuals displayed a moderate level of healthy life awareness and a low level of blood pressure awareness and insight. Nurses could take on the leading role in developing healthy lifestyle habits among individuals, ensure medication treatment adherence, and prevent hypertension prevalence.

成人的健康生活意识、血压意识和洞察力：一项基于人群的横断面研究。

目的：测量成年人的健康生活意识、血压意识和洞察力水平及其诱发因素：测量成年人的健康生活意识、血压意识和洞察力水平，以及其诱发因素：设计：基于人群的横断面研究：样本：研究对象为土耳其某城市农村地区的成年人。研究邀请了自愿参加五月测量月活动的人群筛查（n = 290）：数据通过问卷、健康生活意识量表（HeLAS）和血压意识与洞察力量表（BASIS）收集。采用描述性统计、皮尔逊相关和多元线性回归分析数据：HeLAS 和 BASIS 的平均得分分别为（49.62 ± 8.30）和（2.89 ± 1.43）。收入水平、定期体育锻炼习惯和曾被诊断为高血压与健康生活意识水平呈正相关。曾被诊断为高血压、定期服药和失业是血压意识和洞察力水平的重要诱发因素：大多数成年人的健康生活意识处于中等水平，血压意识和洞察力处于较低水平。结论：大多数成年人的健康生活意识处于中等水平，对血压的认识和了解程度较低。护士可以在培养个人健康生活习惯、确保坚持用药治疗和预防高血压流行方面发挥主导作用。
