It has been found that the incidence and mortality of COVID-19 are high in patients with underlying chronic diseases. Amid COVID-19 pandemic, tooth brushing is as important as hand washing for health care. The aim of this study was to identify factors related to the rate of tooth brushing and hand washing in hypertensive patients. We analyzed 62,762 hypertensive patients over the age of 40 from the Community Health Survey 2020. The practice rate of hand washing was higher among women, younger age, higher education level, mask wearers when going out, and tooth brushing practitioners after lunch. The hand washing practice rate was higher in hypertensive patients who practiced tooth brushing. In conclusion, there was the relationship between oral hygiene and personal quarantine. It is necessary to prepare sustainable measures to increase the practice rate of infectious disease prevention behaviors for patients with underlying chronic diseases who are susceptible to COVID-19.
This study was done using a Quasi-experimental research design to determine the effects of social support on compliance with sick role behaviors in hypertensive patients and to know if the effect of the social support on compliance lasted for at least 6 months. The subjects consisted of 81 hypertensive patients who were registered in the Cardio-Vascular OPD at Chonnam National University Hospital. They were divided by random sampling into 42 people for the experimental group and 39 for the control group. Data were gathered from June 3, 1996 to June 10, 1997 through individual interviews using a structured questionnaire. The results of the study were summarized as follows : 1. Compliance with sick role behaviors in hypertensive clients was significantly increased in the experimental group who received social support from the nurse as compared to the control group who did not receive social support(t=15.99. p<.001). 2. The effect of social support on compliance with sick role behaviors in hypertensive clients lasted for 6 months(t=7.99, p<.001). 3. Four of six people stopped smoking in experimental group after the intervention of social support, but none of the five in control group were able to stop smoking. Fisher's Exact test showed a significant difference between the experimental and control group(x²=4.385. p< .05). Mantel Haenszel test showed that the effect of social support on stopping smoking in the experimental group lasted for six months because there were no significant differences between one month after the social support and six months after, in the number of subjects who stopped smoking(x²=1.154, P>.05). Finally, social support was effective on compliance with sick role behaviors and stopping smoking in the hypertensive clients, and the effect of social support on compliance lasted for 6 months.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical characteristics of hypertensive encephalopathy according to the underlying etiologies in children. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 33 pediatric patients who were diagnosed as having hypertensive encephalopathy in Chonbuk National University Children's Hospital. Among the patients, 18 were excluded because of incomplete data or because brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was not performed. Finally, 17 patients were enrolled and divided into a renal-origin hypertension group and a non-renal-origin hypertension group according to the underlying cause. We compared the clinical features and brain MRI findings between the 2 groups. Results: The renal group included renal artery stenosis (4), acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (2), lupus nephritis (2), and acute renal failure (1); the nonrenal group included essential hypertension (4), pheochromocytoma (2), thyrotoxicosis (1), and acute promyelocytic leukemia (1). The mean systolic blood pressure of the renal group ($172.5{\pm}36.9mmHg$) was higher than that of the nonrenal group ($137.1{\pm}11.1mmHg$, P<0.05). Seizure was the most common neurologic symptom, especially in the renal group (P<0.05). Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which is the most typical finding of hypertensive encephalopathy, was found predominantly in the renal group as compared with the nonrenal group (66.6% vs. 12.5%, P<0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that the patients with renal-origin hypertension had a more severe clinical course than those with non-renal-origin hypertension. Furthermore, the renal-origin group was highly associated with PRES on brain MRI.
This study describes the hypertensive patients characteristics associated with the health incentive point program, and develops and analyzes a simple predictive model of participation in the program. Based on the Incheon Chronic Disease Management System(iCDMS), a model program of community partnership for hypertensive or diabetic patients detection and follow-up since 2005 in Incheon metropolitan city, a cross-sectional design was used in this study. An effective 10.844 adults sample was divided into groups according to participation in the health incentive point program and continuing treatment, and individual and health characteristics among groups were compared. Furthermore, the predictors associated with participation in the program were identified by the logistic regression analysis. After the health incentive point program in iCDMS was introduced, the number of hypertensive patients participation in the program increased 23.9 times which is vastly high given the various programs were provided. There were statistically significant differences among the groups: age(p=0.000), treatment compliance(p=0.000), and blood pressure control at the last measurement(p=0.000), in particular, between participation group(GroupI, n=246) and non-participation group(GroupIII, n=10,408). Furthermore, age over 60 years(OR: 0.33), treatment compliance(OR: 3.49~3.78) and blood pressure controls(OR: 2.13~2.30) were statistically significant predictors associated with participation in the program, based on the logistic regression analysis with GroupI and GroupIII. To increase participation in the health incentive point program, variables such as age, treatment compliance and blood pressure controls are more concerned. And, high-risk patients and family members need targeted health incentive programs.

Research on recognition, preference, and consumption of ginseng was conducted with the goal of enhancing the consumption of ginseng, and commercializing local ginseng dishes in Geumsan. With help from the Eulji University hospitals in Daejeon and Geumsan, a survey was completed by a group of 200 patients, including 50 diabetic and 50 hypertensive patients from each center. Results based on a patient's residence (p<0.001), and illness (p<0.001), showed that the percentage of outpatient treatments was very high at the center in Geumsan. Based on a patient's residence (p<0.001) and illness, a preference for ginseng was very high in Geumsan. Based on a patient's residence (p<0.01) and illness (p<0.05), the willingness to try new ginseng dishes was stronger at the center in Geumsan compared to the center at Daejeon. Based on residence and illness (p<0.001), hypertensive patients were more enthusiastic towards taking ginseng herbs. Based on residence (p<0.001) and illness (p<0.001), percipience concerning the effects of ginseng was more positive in Geumsan. Based on residence (p<0.001) and illness, the frequency of ginseng herb intake was higher in Geumsan. The research provides the basis for establishing changes in the perception of ginseng, providing accurate information, and promoting ginseng in local economies.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 6-week Tai Chi exercise program on reducing blood pressure for hypertensive patients. Method: A non-equivalent pretest-posttest experimental design was used. Participants were recruited from the Community Health Center in Busan, Korea. Twenty-eight hypertensive patients participated in this study. Among them, fourteen were in the experimental group and the rest are in the control group. Members in the experimental group participated in a 6- week program of Tai Chi exercise. In order to evaluate the effects of the Tai Chi program, blood pressure, total cholesterol, and cortisol level were measured before and after week 6. Result: After the 6-week Tai Chi program, there were significant differences in systolic pressure (t=-3.13, p=.004) and diastolic blood pressure (t=-4.75, p=.000) in the experimental group when compared to the control group. However there were no significant differences in the total cholesterol (t=1.07, p=.294) and cortisol level (F=1.35, p=.256). Conclusion: These results suggest that a 6-week Tai Chi program can be utilized as an effective nursing program to reduce blood pressure for hypertensive patients.

It has been suggested that hyperuricemia is related to the development of essential hypertension. Hypertensive patients with hyperuricemia has decreased glomerular filtration activity as compared to normotensive patients with hyperuricemia. These studies indicates uric acid concentrations in blood is associated with hypertension, Probenecid is an uricosuric agent which decreases uric acid reabsorption at the proximal tubule. Recently, we have shown that probenecid exerts anti-hypertensive action in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats. Considering these results, I have designed a series of experiments to explore potential mechanism of antihypertensive action, of probenecid. In isolated rat thoracic aorta. probenecid significantly prevented phenylephrine-induced contraction of the blood vessel. When endothelium removed blood vessels were used, probenecid produced same effect as the intact blood vessels, indicating that probenecid directly act through the ${\alpha}$ -adrenergic receptor in vascular smooth muscles rather than through endothelium. These results suggest that one of the mechanism of antihypertensive effects of probenecid is due to the direct inhibition of ${\alpha}$ -adrenergic receptor in blood vessels.
Purpose. This study is to find the degree of variations and trends of hospital services utilization for hypertensive disease, and have done the comparative analysis of the factors affecting occurring some variations. For this, this study uses the data for patients-survey and health-survey of a regional society by Korea Institute for Heath and Social Affairs in 2008; The regional units are classified into 160 of medium size medical service areas. Methods. I understand the level of variation by using index of Extremal Quotient(EQ) and Coefficient Variation(CV), and analyze critical factors influencing some differences in hospital services utilization by using multi-regression model. Results. The main results are followed:The first, in case of rate of hospital services utilization according to standarization of sex and age by small area, I find the variations of EQ 5.3 and CV 0.3; In Ho-nam, especially, the variation of high rank of 10 of age shows higher distribution. The second, the results analyzing the factors influencing on hospital services utilization by multi regression model are that a number of bed hospitals is significant positive relationship and EQ-5D of health behavior is significant negative one. Conclusions. To increase equity of hospital services utilization for hypertensive disease, this study requests the appropriate supply management of bed hospitals by region, efficient allocation of resources, and revitalization of the health promotion program.

This study was conducted to identify factors influencing weight loss efforts in hypertensive patients with obesity in Korea using data from the 2016-2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Weight perception, weight loss efforts, and weight control methods were investigated for 1,910 subjects. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, cross-tabulation analysis and logistic regression. Among obese hypertensive patients, 12.6% perceived their weight as normal. Weight loss efforts were 2.03 times (95% CI: 1.48 to 2.78) higher in people with overweight perception than those with normal weight perception, and 1.74 times (95% CI: 1.33 to 2.26) higher in women than in men. In addition, those with class 1 obesity were 1.50 times (95% CI: 0.85 to 2.65) higher than those with class 3 obesity, and those with class 2 obesity were 2.16 times (95% CI: 1.16 to 4.00) higher than those with class 3 obesity. These results suggest that weight management approaches for hypertensive patients with obesity should be individually designed according to weight perception, gender, and obesity class.
As the seriousness of hypertension in adults is increasingly recognized, attention is being focussed on its control through continuous health supervisions. Complications arising from high blood pressure exceed those of many other adult health problems and affect the nursing needs of these patients. In order to contribute to effective nursing care planning and improved health supervision, 248 medical records of hypertensive patients admitted to Internal Medicine at Ewha Medical Center from January 1971 to August 1976 were examined. Results were as fellows: 1. The sample group averaged 5.0% of the total number of patients admitted to internal medicine during the period studied. The proportion increased slightly with each successive year. 2. Patients with hypertension averaged 31.4% of all patients with cardiovascular discease. This proportion was stable over the period. 3. Hypertensive patients were primarily in their 40s. The average age was 55.1 years. 4. Women were most frequently affected in their 60s and men in their 40s. 5. The bloo pressure of these in their 30s was not well controlled on discharge. Rates for those in their 30s averaged 151.5/107mmhg, for those in their 40s 161.5/110mphg, and for those in their 60s 169/100mmhg. 6. Complications increased with each age range from the 40s to the 60s for both men and women. 7. Complications related to systolic hypertension occurred most frequently when the rate exceeded 200mmhg. Cerebral vascular accident was the primary complication, presenting implications for nursing intervention. 8. Complications related to diastolic hypertension occurred most frequently when the rate was in the $110{\sim}129mmhg$ range. C.V.A. again was the primary complication needing nursing care planning. 9. Diets ordered for patients were low salt 79.%, salt free 4.19%, diabetic 6.1%, and protein free ('no protein') 2.0%. Caloric, salt end protein levels were not defined. Recommendations based on the findings were directed to diet and other therapies.
