Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare knowledge on hypertension and blood parameters through blood pressure control of hypertensive patients commuting to a public health center. Hypertensive subjects were classified according to their blood pressures into a well-controlled group (SBP<140 mmHg and DBP<90 mmHg, n=44) and an uncontrolled group ($SBP\geq140mmHg\;or\;DBP\geq90mmHg$, n=41). All subjects were interviewed for clinical characteristics, effort for health maintenance and knowledge on hypertension and nutrition. Biochemical measurement of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were obtained from subjects. The knowledge about hypertension and effort for health maintenance were not significantly different between the groups. However, the nutrition knowledge score of the well-controlled group was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the uncontrolled group. On the test of nutrition knowledge, 97.7% of the well-controlled group answered correctly to the item, 'Medication is an easy way to control blood pressure'. This result was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the uncontrolled group of whom 82.9% answered correctly. Participants in both groups had only a little understanding about the importance of a balanced diet. Blood parameters were in the normal range and there was not a significant difference between the groups. However total cholesterol, triglyceride and fasting blood glucose levels of the uncontrolled group were higher than those of the well-controlled group. Therefore, education programs about the continuous control of hypertension through careful monitoring, medication, and exercise are required. The uncontrolled group was especially in need of strengthening education. Also more effective nutrition education programs about low salt, high fiber, low cholesterol, and balanced diets are required for hypertensive patients commuting to public health center.

본 연구는 보건소를 다니는 고혈압 환자를 대상으로 혈압 조절군(수축기혈압 <140 mmHg 그리고 확장기혈압 <90 mmHg, n=44)과 혈압비조절군(수축기 혈압 $\geq140mmHg$ 혹은 확장기 혈압 $\geq90mmHg$, n=41)으로 분류하여 고혈압 관리 상태, 고혈압관련 지식, 고혈압의 영양지식, 건강실천 행위, 혈액성상을 조사하여 지역사회에서의 고혈압 환자를 대상으로 한 영양교육의 기초 자료를 수집하고자 수행하였다. 연구대상자의 고혈압 관리 상태, 건강행위 실천과 고혈압관련 지식에 관한 문제는 두군 간의 유의적 차이가 없었다. 그러나 고혈압의 영양지식 점수는 혈압조절군이 혈압비조절군보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 고혈압의 영양지식중 '혈압관리를 위 한 가장 쉬운 방법은 혈압약을 먹는 것이다'를 맞춘 혈압조절군은 97.7%였으며 이는 혈압비조절군의 82.9%보다 유의적으로 많이 맞추었다(p<0.05). 그리고 두군 간의 유의적 차이는 없었으나 균형된 식사의 중요성에 대한 인식이 낮았다. 연구대상자들의 혈액성상은 정상범위에 속하였으며 두군 간의 유의적 차이는 없었으나 혈압비조절군의 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 공복혈당이 혈압조절군보다 높은 편이었다. 그러므로 지역사회 고혈압 환자에게 규칙적인 혈압약의 복용과 혈압검사, 고혈압의 지속적인 관리와 운동에 대한 교육이 필요하였으며 특히 혈압이 조절되지 않는 고혈압 환자에 대한 더욱 집중적인 교육이 필요하였다. 그리고 저염식의 요령, 고섬유소 식사, 콜레스테롤 함유식품, 균형된 식사에 대한 강화된 영양교육 프로그램이 요구되었다.
