Background: Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, is
classified as a chronic disease and defined as a persistent systolic blood
pressure (BP) of 140 mmHg or more and/or diastolic BP of 90 mmHg or more. In
Jordan, the prevalence of hypertension is very high, approaching 32.3%.
Controlling of BP can be achieved by using antihypertensive medications and
adherence to lifestyle changes. Compliance with therapeutic lifestyle
recommendations decreases the risk of cardiovascular problems. Therefore,
non-compliance can worsen the quality of life and increase the cost of medical
care.
Objective: This study aimed to identify factors correlating
with hypertensive patients' compliance with lifestyle recommendations in north
of Jordan.
Method:A cross sectional survey and face to face interview
method were used to collect the data from 1000 adult Jordanian patients (>18
years old) with hypertension, diagnosed for at least 1 month, on medical
treatment, and attending hypertensive clinic in King Abdullah University Hospital
from (11/October/2016-12/December/2016). The questionnaire was developed based
on previous literatureand with the help of experts in the field of hypertension,
and was piloted with 20 patients. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS
Version 23. In the beginning, descriptive statistics was conducted. Then
chi-square test was conducted to find bivariate correlations with the outcome
variables. All variables significant at the 0.05 level were entered into binary
logistic regression models as potential predictors of compliance to lifestyle
recommendations.
Result:In this study, only 23% of the patients were fully
compliant with healthy lifestyle behaviors. About 94.5% were knowledgeable on
hypertension, and 85.7% of the patients had positive beliefs about management
of this condition. Logistic regression revealed that gender, physician
counseling on a healthy lifestyle and self-care, patients’ beliefs
abouthypertension management, and their knowledge on hypertension and its
management, have an independent effect on compliancewith recommended lifestyle
behaviors.
