연구목적: 고혈압환자의 효과적인 자가관리 간호중재를 개발하는데 필요한 기초자료로 혈압자가측정(self-monitoring of blood pressure)에 대한 특성, 장점, 범위 및 제한점을 파악한다. 연구방법: 1996년부터 2005년까지 PubMed에 수록된 고혈압환자의 자가관리 방법중 혈압자가측정방법이 포함된 외국의 연구를 중심으로 체계적인 고찰을 실시하였다. 전체 69개 자가관리방법을 적용한 논문 중에서 혈압자가측정이나 가정에서의 혈압측정(home monitoring)에 대한 45개 논문을 선정하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 전반적으로 혈압자가측정 방법은 고혈압환자의 혈압조절을 향상시키는 효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 환자가 혈압을 자가측정한 방법에서 평균 혈압, 수축기 혈압, 맥압이 유의하게 감소한 것으로 보고되었다. 장기적 프로그램에서 혈압조절율이 향상되거나, 이완기혈압의 감소효과도 보고되었다. 혈압자가측정의 기준치는 연구마다 일치하지는 않았지만 135/85mmHg 수준이 정상혈압의 상한수준으로 제시되었다. 일부 연구에서는 가정 내 혈압측정이 24시간혈압측정을 대체하는 방법으로 추천되었다. 보다 정확한 혈압자가측정을 위해서 신뢰성 있는 혈압측정기구의 사용과 정확한 측정방법이 환자들에게 교육될 필요가 있다. 결론: 혈압자가측정은 고혈압환자의 혈압조절에 유용한 방법으로 고찰되었다. 또한 고혈압의 진단, 혈압치료와 고혈압 약물복용 행위를 향상시키는 교육적 효과도 긍정적으로 나타났다. 따라서 고혈압환자를 위한 효과적인 자기조절프로그램에 혈압자가측정법을 포함하는 것이 추천되며, 추후 한국에서 시도된 관련 연구에 관한 문헌고찰의 비교연구가 필요하다.

본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 상완 동맥 영역에 대한 RGB 채널을 HSV 채널로 변환한다. 변환된 HSV 채널에 대해 고혈압 영역의 특징을 강조하게 하기 위해 밝기 값을 나타내는 V값을 조절한다. 조절된 HSV 채널을 다시 RGB 채널로 변환한 후, Fuzzy C_Means 기반 무게중심과 Possibilistc C_Means 기반 무게 중심을 기반으로 새로운 무게 중심을 구하여 픽셀들을 클러스터링하여 상완동맥 영역의 고혈압 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 상완 동맥의 고혈압 영역에 대해 헤모글로빈 색소 정보를 나타내는 IHb 값을 이용하여 상완 동맥의 고혈압 영역에서 유사한 헤모글로빈 색소 정보를 가지는 영역을 분할한다. 분할된 영역들을 혈류의 속도를 나타내는 색상표와 대조하여 고혈압의 진행에 대해 분석하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 색조 도플러 초음파 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 고혈압의 진행에 대한 분석 결과와 색조 도플러 초음파 영상 장비에 나타난 고혈압 진행 결과와 거의 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive and secondary analytical study that uses panel data to identify the factors of medication adherence to improve life care of hypertensive patients. Methods: The subjects of this study were 2,484 patients who were taking medication after hypertension using Korea Medical Panel 2015 data (β-version 1.0). Data analysis was performed using Chi-Square, Scheffe's test, and logistic regression using SPSS/win 22.0. Results: The level of medication adherence in patients with hypertension was 94.2%. The factors of medication adherence were gender and age in Model I of demographic factors, and the presence of disability, smoking, and drinking in Model II. Model III, which added drug use factors, was identified as drinking, drug duration, side effects, drug satisfaction, and payment of drug costs. Conclusion: In order to improve life care for hypertension patients, education and interventions on the importance of take medication and side effects of medications and how to take them will be needed in the early stages of diagnosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment status and its related factors of the newly detected rural hypertensives through community health promotion program. A questionnaire survey and blood pressure measurement were performed to 6,977 residents of a rural area, and 282 hypertensives detected by blood pressure measurement were selected as subjects of the study. The study employed the health belief model as a hypothetical model. The major results of this study were as follows: The proportion of person experienced treatment among hypertensives was 12.0%. Treatment experience rate was significantly related with age and educational level(p<0.01). That is, if they were older, lower educational level, the treatment experience rate was higher. The major reasons of no treatment were 'they had not hypertensive symptoms ' (45.6%), 'their blood pressure was not high so much that they received treatment ' (43.2%). The chief facilities for treatment were public health institutions(57.9%) such as health center and health subcenter, and hospital/ clinics(29.8%). The treatment experience rate was higher when they had higher perceived severity for hypertension, lower perceived barrier to treatment, although statistically not significant. Treatment experience rate was significantly related with cues to action and health education experience(p<0.05). That is, if they had hypertension related symptoms such as headache previously, patients suffered from hypertension complication and health education experience for hypertension, the treatment experience rate was higher. In multiple logistic regression analysis for treatment experience, having a cerebrovascular patient in their acquaintance and the experience of health education for hypertension were significant variables. On consideration of above findings, it would to be essential to provide knowledge about hypertension and its treatment, and severity of hypertension complications through health education.

Purpose: To study of difference among primary aldosteronism patients and normal groups and essential hypertension patients and to confirm aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio increase in secondary hypertension group which was diagnosed as primary aldosteronism. Materials and method: 1. Period: from April 2006 to March 2008. 2.Targets: 901 patients who visited seoul national university bundang hospital. 3. Groups: we divided by three groups. (normal group (n=147), essential hypertension (n=709), primary aldosteronism (n=45)) 4. Then calculated aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio. 5. We used ROC curve to measure sensitivity and specificity. Results: 1. normal groups aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio: $52.8{\pm}52.46$ essential hypertension patients aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio: $171.04{\pm}291.56$ primary aldosteronism patients aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio: $2325{\pm}2200$. 2. Aldosterone/renin ratio was significant in comparing each groups (p<0.001). 3. The sensitivity was 91.1% and the specificity was 92.4% when cut off of aldosterone/renin ratio was 485. Conclusion: It was confirmed that aldosterone/plasma renin activity ratio in primary aldosteronism was higher than normal group. According to this result, we can tell that aldosterone/ plasma renin activity ratio is very useful in diagnosis of primary aldosteronism.

Purpose : Hypertension is defined as average systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure that is ${\geq}95^{th}$ percentile for gender, age, and height on ${\geq}three$ occasions. Knowing that blood pressure values increase in children as they grow older, the purposes of this study were to measure blood pressure by an oscillometric device and to determine normal values and percentile curves for children. Methods : Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured twice with an oscillometric device in 3,545 boys and 3,145 girls under six years of age, in Seoul. Using this data, we determined average blood pressure values and percentile curves based on gender and age; we subdivided these values into blood pressures of $50^{th}$, $90^{th}$, $95^{th}$, and $99^{th}$ percentiles, by percentile of height. The regression coefficients and standard deviations of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were obtained from linear regression models. Results : Older boys and girls had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Older boys and girls in the same percentile of height for age had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Taller boys and girls within the same age group had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Conclusion : Blood pressure standards based on gender, age, and height were obtained via an oscillometric method. Llimitation of this study is that the study population was not from the whole country, but exclusively from Seoul. Nonetheless, the data from this study will be helpful in diagnosing and managing hypertension in Korean children.
