| Abstract: | BACKGROUND: According to World Health Organization, hypertension occurs when the pressure in the blood vessels is too high (140/90mmHg or higher). In developing countries, hypertension is a major public health issue and the main cause of mortality and disability. Patient’s quality of life will be impacted by the degree of education, lifestyle choices, and disease management. Our study aims to improve patient understanding of hypertension and to characterize the manner in which hypertensive individuals are treated. OBJECTIVE: To describe the treatment profile of known hypertensive patients and also to evaluate prescription practice in accordance with JNC-8 guidelines. This study also assesses the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding hypertension control among hypertensive patients. METHOD AND METHODOLOGY: A prospective study was conducted among 300 hypertensive patients enrolled in the Outpatient Department, Department of General Medicine, 2023. RESULT: The present study showed that among 300 patients, the majority were females (56%). More than half of the patients involved in the study were uneducated (59%). Maximum patients had a history of hypertension since 1-5 years (63%). The majority of the complications associated with hypertension were due to Diabetes (39.3%). Among the total patients, 61% were on mono therapy. In mono therapy, CCB (47.50%) was most commonly prescribed, while in two-drug combination therapy, AECI+CCB were commonly prescribed at 41.8%, and in three-drug combination therapy, AECI+ CCB+ Beta blockers were commonly prescribed at 3.4%. The majority of the patients were in Stage 1 HTN (38.7%). Only 45.3% have the achieved the target BP as per JNC-8 guidelines. There was a significant improvement (p<0.050) in patient knowledge seen after patient education. CONCLUSION: Hypertension is a major public health problem and a leading cause of death and disability in developing countries. The majority of the patient have not achieved target BP according to JNC-8 guidelines. This study concluded that before providing patient education participants had inadequate knowledge and practice towards the disease, but after providing a patient education, their knowledge level and attitude towards the hypertension disease drastically increased. This clearly shows that there is a need for patient education about the diseases. There is a significant improvement (p<0.050) in the knowledge of patient on hypertension, but on the other hand, not much improvement have been seen in attitude and practice of patients towards hypertension. |
