Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the opinions of hypertension patients about wearable blood pressure devices in blood pressure measurement.
Method: The research was conducted in a descriptive type. Sample calculation was made using G Power analysis. For 99% power, 514 hypertension patients participated in the study. An individual introduction form and brochure were used to collect the research data. The brochure contains visual and written information about Omron HEM-6410 T, Smartwatches, Minish, OMRON HBP-9020, Free scan cuffless blood pressure, and Valencell in-ear blood pressure.
Results: It was determined that 86.0% (n=442) of the patients did not know about wearable blood pressure devices, and 32.5% (n=167) expected wearable blood pressure devices to be cheap. After the introduction of wearable blood pressure devices to the patients, 30.4% (n=156) of the patients stated that they would prefer the Omron HBP-9020 device and 84.6% (n=435) of the patients stated that they would use wearable blood pressure devices if there were wearable blood pressure devices in our country.
Conclusion: It was determined that most patients self-monitored their blood pressure but did not know about wearable blood pressure devices. It was determined that the patients' wearable blood pressure device preferences differed according to their sociodemographic characteristics. It may be recommended to educate patients about the features, advantages and use of wearable blood pressure devices.

Hipertansiyon Hastalarının Giyilebilir Kan Basıncı Cihazlarına Yönelik Görüşleri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, hipertansiyon hastalarının kan basıncı ölçümünde giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazlarına yönelik görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. G Power güç analizi kullanılarak örneklem hesaplaması yapılmıştır. %99 güç için araştırmaya 514 hipertansiyon hastası alınmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında birey tanıtım formu ve broşür kullanılmıştır. Broşürde Omron HEM-6410 T, Akıllı saatler, Minish, OMRON HBP-9020, Freescan manşetsiz kan basıncı, Valencell kulak içi kan basıncı ile ilgili görsel ve yazılı bilgi yer almaktadır.
Bulgular: Hastaların %86.0’sı (n=442) giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazları hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadıkları, %32.5’inin (n=167) giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazlarının ucuz olmasını bekledikleri belirlenmiştir. Hastalara giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazları ile ilgili tanıtım yapıldıktan sonra %30.4’ü (n=156) Omron HBP-9020 cihazını tercih edeceklerini ve %84.6’sı (n=435) ülkemizde giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazları olsa kullanabileceklerini ifade etmiştir.
Sonuç: Hastaların çoğunluğunun kendi kendine kan basıncı izlemi yaptıkları ancak giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazlarına ilişkin bilgi sahibi olmadıkları belirlenmiştir. Hastaların sosyodemografik özelliklerine göre tercih ettikleri giyilebilir kan basıncı cihaz tercihlerinin ise değişiklik gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Hastalara giyilebilir kan basıncı cihazlarının özellikleri, avantajları ve kullanımı ile ilgili eğitim verilmesi önerilebilir.
