ÖZET
Giriş:
Kan basıncı (KB) ölçümü hakkındaki hasta farkındalığı, hipertansiyon yönetimi için önemlidir. Araştırma, yaşlı hipertansiyonlu hastalarının BP ölçüm ve takipleri ile kullandıkları cihazın kalibrasyonu hakkındaki farkındalıklarını tespit etmek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntemler:
Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde yapılan çalışma Ocak-Mayıs 2018 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Araştırma evrenini Türkiye’nin Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’ndeki bir il merkezinde yaşayan yaşlı bireyler oluşturdu. Çalışmaya 363 yaşlı birey dahil edildi.
Bulgular:
Bu çalışmada antihipertansif ilaç kullandığı halde yaşlıların bir kısmının Sistolik KB (%79,1) ve Diastolik KB değerlerinin (%38,6) normal sınırlar içerisinde olmadığı tespit edildi. Araştırma, yaşlı hipertansiyonlu hastalarının KB ölçüm ve takipleri ile kullandıkları cihazın kalibrasyonu hakkındaki farkındalıklarını tespit etmek amacıyla yapıldı Katılımcıların %83,6’sının evinde kullandığı cihazın kalibrasyonunu yaptırmadığı, kalibrasyon yaptıranların kalibrasyon yaptırma sıklığı ortalamasının ise 1,6±1,23 yıl olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç:
Hipertansif yaşlı hastaların, KB ölçüm ve takipleri ile cihazlarını uygun şekilde kalibre ettirmenin öneminin farkında olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu nedenle sağlık personeli, hipertansif yaşlı hastalara, BP ölçümlerini takip etme konusunda eğitim vermelidir.
