This study was conducted to estimate the effects of self-care program on knowledge and symptoms related hypertension self-care and physiological index in essential hypertensive patients aged between 35-74 year. The subjects for the experiment group and the control group of this study were 70 men and women selected through random sampling from adults at Sangju Red Cross Hospital in Gyeongsanbuk-do, and the experiment was carried out during the period from the 15th of September to the 30th of April in 2002. This study measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP, the mean value of the two measures) and total cholesterol (TC) and surveyed the subjects' diet and life style in relation to hypertension using a self-report questionnaire. In order to study the significance of the effects of self-care program, the author carried out t-test, paired t-test, ANCOVA, chi-square analysis and effectiveness index (EI) analysis. Results of the study are as follows: The experiment group got higher mean scores than the control group in the degree of low sodium intake and the degree of high calcium and high potassium intake, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The effectiveness index of the self-care program in smoking was 0.797 at the 1st posttest and 0.601 at the 2nd posttest, and in physical activities 0.600 at the 1st posttest and 0.849 at the 2nd posttest. The rate of regular antihypertensive drugs intake of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. and the effectiveness index of the self-care program was 0.715. The mean score of the systolic blood pressure of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). In conclusion, these findings support usefulness of self-care programs in reducing systolic blood pressure and in promoting self-care related to diet and life style for treating and preventing hypertension.

Methods: Data on the general characteristics and hypertension management from 381 hypertension patients between non-elderly and elderly, living in P city, Gyeonggi Province and C city, Chungnam Province. South Korea, were collected based on a structured questionnaire, The data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 statistics program. Results: The use of a Community health center in the non-elderly and elderly groups showed a statistically significant difference in facility excellence and cheaper cost. Hypertension management was measured every day, The daily blood pressure and physician counseling was performed according to the changes in blood pressure. The management of hypertension medication in a community health center provided for hypertensive patients can be evaluated as an efficient service. Conclusion: The self-management ability of hypertension needs to be improved. In particular, especially, the elderly managed by the Community health center have good accessibility and a good alternative for the treatment cost. Therefore, it is necessary to provide support and measures to make hypertension management safer.

당뇨병환자에게 식이요법이란 평생 지켜야 할 수칙이다. 같은 음식이라도 조미료의 사용에 따라 칼로리가 높아지기도 하고, 짜게 먹는 습관으로 소금의 섭취가 많으면 고혈압, 동맥경화 등이 촉진될 수 있다. 그러므로 환자들은 조미료의 사용에서 '얼마나 섭취 가능할까?', '혹시 당뇨에 악영향을 주진 않을까?' 걱정되기 마련이다. 이에 올바른 당뇨관리를 위한 양념 섭취법에 대해 알아보았다.

Hypertension is the most frequent disease of chronic circulatory diseases and major intermediate cause or risk of the cerebrovascular disease which is a leading cause of death in Korea. Therefore, management of hypertension is an important issue in Korean healthcare. Especially, therapeutic compliance of hypertensives is very important because the hypertensive patients should receive anti-hypertensive treatment as long as the condition exists. However, many patients drop out of treatment, which is a major problem that needs to be solved through a hypertension control program. This study was carried out to provide basic data and counter measule for the hypertension control program in the community which aimed to keep the patients receiving treatment continuously. In order to investigate compliance of hypertensive patients during three months follow-up and the rate of control of hypertension, the data were collected during February, 2001, by reviewing medical records of 295 hypertensive patients who had been registered to Gunnam-myeon health subcenter before November, 2000. The author also study the dropout reasons by interviewing 58 patients among 68 dropout patients. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 295 subjects, 108(36.6%) were male and 187(63.4%) were female. Statistically, female hypertensives had a higher mean age than male(64.6 vs 66.3, p<0.05). 2. The 54.9% of the patients took anti-hypertensive medicine continuously for the past three months. And 19.3% had drug intermittently, and 25.8% dropped out of treatment. 3. Among several variables, such as sex, age, health insurance, the time taken from a patient's village to the health subcenter, only the last one was found to be significantly related to therapeutic compliance in the contingency table analysis. 4. The dropout reasons by multiple response were as follows, 'no symptom or no problem' (23.9%), 'change to other hospitals'(19.4%), 'geographical barrier'(17.9%), 'change to a neighborhood drugstore' (14.9%), 'immobility'(7.5%), 'economic barrier'(6.0%), 'unsatisfactory services of the health subcenter'(4.4%). 5. The mean blood pressure of 295 subjects was $144.9{\pm}12.9/86.88{\pm}8.6mmHg$. 6. The 32.5% of the subjects were controlled below 140/90mmHg. Conclusions: In order to improve the low rates of treatment and control of hypertension in rural hypertensives, a more active and systematic hypertension control program, including out-reaching follow-up management, is required in rural area. Especially, for health education of hypertensive patients, emphasis should placed on correcting wrong attitude toward hypertension.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hypertension and diabetes mellitus on depression and suicidal impulse through the total inspection on specific rural areas in Gangwon-do. This survey selected adults over the age of 30 and conducted from May 19 to Sep. 30 in 2014. Of the 1,200 questionnaires distributed, 970 were completed and returned to be used for the study. To figure out the actual condition of hypertension and diabetes among the participants, the research examined the degree of their depression and suicidal impulse. It examined their smoking and exercise habits to check their health conditions. The research showed that patients diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes had a higher tendency of depression and suicidal impulse. The significant variable affecting depression is suicidal impulse(p<0.001>). Also, the significant variables affecting suicidal impulse are hypertension and depression. Based on these results, local health institutions need to include mental health services for the patients with hypertension and diabetes and coordinate them comprehensively and effectively.

Objectives: This study was to evaluate the compliance of hypertensive patients and its related factors registered at Community Health Practitioner Post(CHCP). Methods: 304 patients were interviewed by trained nursing students during one month(June~July 2004). The questionnaire included general charactristics, knowledge of hypertension, health education experience, constructs of Health Belief Model, self efficacy and so on. Compliance group was defined "having regularly medication and good life style". Good life style included regular exercise, non-smoking, little alcohol, low salt diet, weight control. Results: In compliance group 90.3% of man and 93.3% of woman were regularly taking hypertensive medicine, and 45.2% of man and 56.4% of woman were having good life style (compliance group). In both man and woman, the group of higher education were more compliance group, but were statistically significant were in man(p<0.05). In woman, the compliance group have significantly higher score in knowledge of hypertension(p(0.05). The compliance group have significantly higher self-efficacy score in both man and woman (p<0.05). In Health Belief Model, susceptibility and benefit were statistically significant in man, seriousness, benefit and barrier in woman(p<0.05). In multiple logistic regression analysis, education level and self efficacy in man and knowledge of hypertension, self-efficacy and benefit in woman were significant variables (p<0.05). Conclusions: It is very important to evaluate and modify life-style adding to having regularly medication in hypertensive patients registered at CHCP. To this, health education programs about benefit to compliance and the methods to improve self-efficacy should be developed for this patients.
