The Adherence of pregnant women with hypertension to the salt-restricted diet: perceived benefits and barriers

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceived benefits and barriers, which are effective in adherence of pregnant women with hypertension to salt-restricted diet. The population of the study consisted of 100 pregnant women followed up due to hypertension in the gynecology outpatient clinic. The data were collected using the questionnaire inquiring the sociodemographic and obstetric information of the pregnant women; five questions assessing their attitudes and behaviors towards salt consumption; and the Dietary Compliance Scale. In evaluating of the data were used to mean, standard deviation, median, percentages and spearman correlation analysis. The pregnant women, whose average age was 31.16, 91% of the pregnant women developed hypertension during their pregnancy. When the status of adherence to the salt restricted diet in pregnant women was examined, it was determined that while total score of the Benefit subscale was 28.73, total score of the Barrier subscale was 12.65.It was determined that the majority of the eating a low-salt diet reported positive effects on health and heart as a perceived benefit, and as a perceived barriers to causing limitations in taste and social life. attitudes and behaviors related to salt restricted diet were found to positively affect the perceived benefits. It was seen that the perceptions of benefits and barriers of pregnancies were at a good level. Midwives benefits of salt intake and regular follow-up of pregnant women in perceptions of barriers should evaluate their attitudes and behaviors.

Hipertansiyonlu gebelerde tuzdan kısıtlı diyete uyum: yarar ve engel algısı

Öz

Bu çalışma hipertansif gebelerin tuzdan kısıtlı diyete uyumda yarar ve engel algısını incelemek amacı ile yapıldı. Çalışmanın evrenini hipertansiyon nedeni ile gebe polikliniğine başvuran ve izlenen gebeler, örneklemini ise bu evrenden basit rastlantısal yöntemle seçilen 100 hipertansif gebe kadın oluşturdu. Veriler, gebelerin sosyodemografik ve obstetrik bilgilerini sorgulayan anket formu, tuz tüketimine yönelik tutum ve davranışları değerlendiren beş soru ve Diyete Uyum Ölçeği ile toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ortalama, standart sapma, median, frekans dağılımları, spearman korelasyon analizinden yararlanıldı ve anlamlılık 0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Yaş ortalamaları 31,16 olan gebelerin %91’inde hipertansiyonun gebelikte ortaya çıktığı saptandı. Gebelerin tuzdan kısıtlı diyete uyum durumları incelendiğinde Yarar Alt Boyut ortalama toplam puanı 28.73, Engel Alt Boyut ortalama toplam puan 12.65 olarak saptandı. Büyük çoğunluğu tuzdan kısıtlı beslenmenin sağlık ve kalp üzerine olumlu etkilerini yarar algısı olarak, lezzet ve sosyal yaşamda kısıtlılıkları yol açmasının engel algısı olarak bildirdiği görüldü. Yarar algısının tuzdan kısıtlı beslenme ile ilgili tutum ve davranışları olumlu etkilediği saptandı. Gebelerin yarar ve engel algılarının iyi düzeyde olduğu görüldü. Ebeler düzenli izlemlerde gebelerin tuz tüketimi hakkındaki yarar ve engel algılarını, tutum ve davranışlarını değerlendirmelidir.
