Factors Affecting Admission Frequency and Compliance with Antihypertensive Treatment of Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department with Hypertensive Attack

Abstract

Aim: Admission to the emergency department (ED) due to a hypertensive attack (HTA) is common. Our study explores patients’ compliance with HTA to blood pressure (BP) treatment, the interrelationship of BP values, and their interaction with other factors. Material and Method: Two hundred and sixty seven patients admitted to our ED with the complaint of HTA and previously diagnosed with hypertension were enrolled in this study. During the data collection phase of the study, the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale (HBCS) and a questionnaire including the sociodemographic characteristics, hypertension-related status, and dietary habits were filled in through face-to-face interviews with the patients. Results: The patients’ mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 168.77±26.83, and their mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 98.03±10.44 at the time of admission. Their mean HBCS score turned out to be 4.78±1.79. The mean HBCS total scores tended to decrease significantly as the level of education increased. The patients restricting their salt intake and going on a diet achieved lower HBCS scores, and the difference between the groups was significant. When the patients’ mean SBP and DBP were compared with their HBCS scores, a moderately low correlation was noted between the mean HBCS scores and the mean SBP. Conclusion: The patients with an educational status at the primary school level and below presented lower compliance with treatment. When the HBCS scores were compared in terms of whether the patients went on a diet or not, the mean scores of the dieters turned out to be lower. The patients with high compliance with treatment presented lower SBP and DBP.
