Childhood hypertension, defined as blood pressure above the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height on three occasions, affects 3%–5% of children, with higher rates among those with kidney disease. In these cases, it is often secondary to renal pathology. Kidney disease increases hypertension risk, while uncontrolled hypertension accelerates renal damage, contributing to chronic kidney disease progression and cardiovascular issues. Early detection, particularly in high-risk groups, are critical to reducing long-term complications.
Objectives
Although many studies focus on modifiable causes, few explore parental awareness. This study aimed to assess parents' knowledge of childhood hypertension.
Design
A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at a single center.
Participants
Parents of children with known or suspected kidney disease attending a pediatric nephrology outpatient clinic for routine follow-up.
Measurements
A 13-item questionnaire was administered to parents during routine visits to assess their awareness of childhood hypertension.
Results
The questionnaire was completed by 260 mothers and 240 fathers with varied educational backgrounds: primary school (22.8%), middle school (20.8%), high school (22%), and university (18.4%). Most parents (56.4%) were unaware that hypertension can occur in childhood, and 67.4% didn't know the link with renal disease. Only 14% recognized the connection between overweight and high blood pressure, and 15.6% knew about pharmacological treatment. Awareness increased with education level.
Conclusions
The study revealed a significant lack of awareness among parents, highlighting the need for targeted education to improve early recognition and intervention.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Care (JORC), formally EDTNA/ERCA Journal, is the official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Nursing Association/European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA).
The Journal of Renal Care is an international peer-reviewed journal for the multi-professional health care team caring for people with kidney disease and those who research this specialised area of health care. Kidney disease is a chronic illness with four basic treatments: haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis conservative management and transplantation, which includes emptive transplantation, living donor & cadavaric transplantation. The continuous world-wide increase of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) means that research and shared knowledge into the causes and treatment is vital to delay the progression of CKD and to improve treatments and the care given.
The Journal of Renal Care is an important journal for all health-care professionals working in this and associated conditions, such as diabetes and cardio-vascular disease amongst others. It covers the trajectory of the disease from the first diagnosis to palliative care and includes acute renal injury. The Journal of Renal Care accepts that kidney disease affects not only the patients but also their families and significant others and provides a forum for both the psycho-social and physiological aspects of the disease.
