Key result
Regional health profile report provides no clinical trial data on hypertension knowledge or diet.
Why the study?
Many people with hypertension are unaware of their condition and diet plays an important role in managing hypertension, but the relationship between patients' knowledge and compliance attitudes toward a hypertension diet is unclear.
Patient knowledge about hypertension and their attitudes are significantly associated with their compliance to a hypertension diet.
Background: Hypertension is known as a silent disease because many people are unaware they have it until they have their blood pressure checked. Diet plays an important role in managing hypertension. A healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition among individuals with high blood pressure can help control blood pressure, and when combined with reduced salt intake, it can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. Objective: To determine the relationship between patients’ knowledge about hypertension and their attitudes toward compliance in following a hypertension diet in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Meukek, South Aceh Regency. Method: This study used a descriptive correlational non-experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 89 patients receiving treatment at UPTD Puskesmas Meukek. Results: The study showed a p-value of 0.014 (< 0.05) for the relationship between knowledge level and dietary compliance, and a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) for the relationship between attitude and dietary compliance. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitude levels and compliance in following a hypertension diet in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Meukek, South Aceh Regency. Recommendation: The results of this study may serve as a reference to help improve attitudes and compliance in following a hypertension diet.
