Abstract

Background and Objectives: Adherence to self-care behaviors is one of the effective factors in controlling and preventing chronic disease complications, such as Hypertension, therefore, this study was conducted to determine adherence to self-care behaviors in hypertensive patients in Qom city. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study, which was performed on 243 patients with Hypertension referred to urban community health centers using available sampling method in Qom city in 2019. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, a self-care behaviors questionnaire and a checklist to assess and record systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and a standard blood pressure gauge. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 software using independent t-, chi-square, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests. Results: The results of this study indicated that 56. 8% of men and 83. 7% of women adhere to the drug regimen. In the investigation of self-care behavior of low salt diet, 23. 7% of the men and 27. 9% of the women adhered to low salt diet. The findings also showed a significant inverse relationship between adherence to low-salt diet and weight management with mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p>0. 05). Conclusion: The findings of the study reveal that about two-thirds of the patients adhere to drug and physical activity regimes, respectively, while adherence to the low-salt diet in one quarter of the patients still needs improvement. The findings also showed that self-care behaviors (medication, low salt diet, weight management) can decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients.
