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.
