Purpose: To determine the knowledge and treatment compliance with hypertension, directions for the aspects of implementation, and related factors to patients with hypertension using Primary Health Cares and Private Clinics Hospitals. Method: General characteristics and High blood pressure-related properties(17 questions), Hypertension knowledge measures(20 questions), and Treatment Compliance(22 questions) were used. Result: 1. The patients of Private Clinics Hospitals had statistically significantly higher drinking habits than Primary Health Care centers. The patients of Private Clinics Hospitals had statistically significantly higher rate of no family history of hypertension than Primary Health Care centers. 2. Primary Health Care centers had statistically significantly higher knowledge of hypertension than Private Clinics Hospitals. Primary Health Care centers had statistically significantly higher treatment compliance than Private Clinics Hospitals. Conclusion: Both Primary Health Care centers and Private Clinics Hospitals are high medication compliance but low lifestyle compliance with hypertension. We need to recognize the importance of lifestyle compliance, to apply proper programs and to provide therapists' aggressive intervention.

This study is about a comparison of controlled and uncontrolled hypertension groups regarding comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water and quality of life. We surveyed "controlled and uncontrolled hypertension patients" using questionnaires for comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water, SF-36 and HTN QoL (Measurement Scale for the quality of life in hypertensive patients). There was no difference in comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water between the controlled and uncontrolled hypertension groups. Within the controlled hypertension group, the patients diagnosed with a Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation, Qi counterflow, blood deficiency, and water retention received lower total scores in SF-36 and HTN QoL than in undiagnosed patients. Within the uncontrolled hypertension group, the patients diagnosed with Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, and water retention got lower total scores in SF-36 and HTN QoL than in undiagnosed patients. These results were statistically significant. These results are insufficient that we and use comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water for a diagnosis tool of hypertension. But if we have better studies that make up for weak points, these results will help to make a diagnosis tool for hypertension.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and long-term clinical effects of hypertension in Korean childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) patients. Methods: The medical records of SLE patients, diagnosed by 2019 SLE European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR) classification criteria, who visited Samsung Medical Center from January 2009 to May 2019 were reviewed. Disease activity and long-term damage were evaluated using the Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and the Pediatric Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/ACR Damage Index (Ped-SDI), respectively. The sex-, age- and height-blood pressure standards recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics 2017 guideline was used to define hypertension. Results: A total of 32 patients were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up duration was 7.3 years and females were predominant. The median ages at SLE and hypertension diagnoses were 14.2 and 14.3 years, respectively. The biopsy-proven lupus nephritis was detected in 90.6% and 37.5% were class IV. During the follow-up, 12 patients (37.5%) had hypertension. Among them, 2 patients had 3 episodes of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and 5 patients had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Univariate analysis showed baseline hypertension was significantly correlated with a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, higher body mass index and SLEDAI at baseline. The development of hypertension during the follow-up was significantly correlated with obesity, LVH, and higher Ped-SDI. Conclusion: Our study revealed that hypertension in pediatric SLE is associated with obesity and renal function at SLE diagnosis and could affect long-term damage.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of an extreme heat Adaptation Program on the blood pressure, stress response, self-efficacy, and knowledge of management of hypertension and extreme heat of patients who suffered from hypertension. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The data collection period was between July 2 and August 20, 2012. Thirty-seven patients participated in the study (18 in the experimental group and 19 in the control group). Data were analyzed using $X^2$-test, t-test, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients with SPSS/WIN 19.0. Results: Patients who participated in the program showed statistically significant improvements in systolic blood pressure (SBP), self-efficacy, and knowledge of management of hypertension and extreme heat. Conclusion: The results indicate that this extreme heat adaptation program can be utilized for patients suffering from hypertension in order to reduce their SBP and to increase self-efficacy and knowledge of management of hypertension and extreme heat. Therefore, it is recommended that this program be used for elderly patients suffering from chronic disease.

Objectives: This study is based on Public Care Service for Chronic Diseases in Incheon Metropolitan City featuring Health-Point Service. It is objective to evaluate whether the service could improve self-management ability of hypertension and diabetes patients. Methods: The knowledge about diabetes and hypertension, which can be improved by educational intervention, is considered as one of the most important factor for self-management ability. While the education service have been conducted, 194 patients who have been diagnosed as hypertension and diabetes within 3 months were included. They completed questionnaires two times within 4 months period, which give information about the knowledge, service registration and education experiences. For further inspection, 396 patients who had been diagnosed formerly were studied by cross-sectional analysis. Results: Regardless of service registration or educational intervention, there wasn't statistically meaningful difference between the initial and the follow-up assessments on the knowledge. However, when investigating formerly diagnosed patients, educated patients had better knowledge on hypertension compared with non-educated patients and registered patients, educated patients had the better knowledge on diabetes compared with non-registered patients, non-educated patients. Additionally, analyzing each questions, educated patients got higher grades in questions about definition of hypertension, diabetes managements which they can practice in daily lives. Conclusions: It is probable that long-term service registration and education experiences could improve the knowledge and self-management ability.
