Background.
Patients with hypertension need to be aware of various aspects of hypertension and exercise self-care.
But, there is limited information regarding this issue.
Objective of the Study.
This study was designed to assess knowledge on hypertension and self-care practice among adult hypertensive patients in the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia.
Materials and Methods.
Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 384 hypertensive patients from April to May 2019.
The study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique.
Data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire.
Descriptive statistics such as percentage and frequency of patients’ knowledge on hypertension and their self-care practice were computed.
Cross-tabulation was used to see the frequency and percentage of selected sociodemographic variables and knowledge level with self-care practice subscales.
Finally, the results were summarized and presented in texts, figures, and tables.
Results.
Among the study participants, 215 (56%) and 228 (59.4%) had good knowledge and self-care practice towards hypertension, respectively.
The participants who had good knowledge had good self-care practice frequency.
Conclusions.
In this study, knowledge on hypertension was low, while self-care practice was moderate on the self-care interventions.
Hence, increasing patients’ awareness and intervention on medication adherence, low salt diet consumption, physical activity, weight management, cigarette smoking cessation, and alcohol consumption reduction is important.
