|
|
Purpose: This descriptive correlational study was done to analyze the relationship between social support and self-care in hypertensive patients aged 30 years or older.
Methods: Data were collected from April 09 to April 16, 2020 through an online survey (Naver Form) at Internet cafes and SNS Eighty 80 adults aged 30 or older who had been diagnosed with high blood pressure at a medical institution participated in the study. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe?’s test and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS statistics 26.0.
Results: The study results showed that social support for hypertensive patients was significantly higher for men (t=-2.17, p=.033), according to religious status (t=-2.33, p=.023), and the number of people in the household (F=6.05, p=.001). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between social support and hypertensive self-care (r=.24, p=.036).
Conclusion: The results confirm that the social support of patients with hypertension is related to self care for hypertension management. As the number of elders and single-person households who cannot manage their health well increases, it is necessary to establish a long-term and continuous social support system for these clients.
