Prevalence and predictors of self care practices among hypertensive patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia: cross-sectional study

Abstract:
ObjectiveHypertension is a major risk factor and precursor of myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease, heart failure and premature death. These vascular events increased costs of hypertension management. Self-care Practices were recommended to control blood pressure among hypertensive patients. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess predictors of self-care practices among hypertensive patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital.ResultsA 341-hypertensive patients participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 54.35\u2009±\u200912.48\xa0years with range of 26 to 89\xa0years. One hundred seventy-seven (51.9%) respondents were males and male to female ratio is 1.08. About 61.9% of respondents were adherent to medication usage and 30.5%, 44.9%, 88.3%, 93.5% and 56.9% of respondents were adherent to low salt diet, physical activity, non-alcohol drinking, nonsmoking and weight management respectively. Normal weight (AOR\u2009=\u20091.822, 95% CI 1.073–3.093) was independent predictor of medication usage whereas good self-efficacy (AOR\u2009=\u20092.584, 95% CI 1.477–4.521) and being female (AOR\u2009=\u20090.517, 95% CI 0.301–0.887) were independent predictor of low salt diet and physical activity respectively. Also being female (AOR\u2009=\u20093.626, 95% CI 1.211–10.851) was independent predictors of non-smoking.
