Aim.
To assess the knowledge and practice of PHC physicians toward the detection and management of hypertension (HTN) and other CVD risk factors.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study of all primary health care physicians of the FHU of three rural districts of Egypt was conducted.
Each physician was subjected to a prevalidated interview questionnaire on the WHO-CVD risk management package for low and medium resources, and a checklist of observation of daily practices.
Results.
Hypertension was a priority problem in about two-thirds (62.9%) of physicians, yet only 19% have guidelines for HTN patients.
Clinical history recording system for HNT was available for 50% of physicians.
Levels of knowledge varied with regard to definition of HTN (61.3%, fair), procedures for BP measurement (43.5%, poor), indications for referral (43.5%, poor), patient counseling (61.3%, fair), patient treatment (59.8%, fair).
Availability of clinical history recording system for HNT was a significant predictor for physician's level of knowledge (P=0.001).
Overall level of practice was fair (68.5%).
Conclusion.
PHC physicians have unsatisfactory knowledge and practice on hypertension.
There is a need of more continuing medical education.
Local and international manuals, workshops, and seminars on how to make use of these guidelines would improve doctors' performance.
