Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted with the aim of determining the uses of complementary health approaches (CHA) in patients with hypertension and its effect on adherence with antihypertensive medication. Method: This descriptive study was conducted at Karaağaç Family Health Center located in the city center of Erzincan. Between June 2013 and December 2013, the individuals who consulted to the center for some reason and received antihypertensive treatment, were included. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire containing open- and closed-ended questions and the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (MASES-SF). The blood pressure, height and weight measurements were performed. Results: It was determined that 42.7% of the hypertensive patients were using natural produces for nutrition as part of their CHA, the use of CHA was higher in those under the age of 65 and in women (p<0.05) and using CHA had no significant effect on blood pressure control or the mean MASES-SF score (p>0.05). Medication adherence of the patients was on a good level. The mean MASES-SF scores of the patients whose blood pressure was under control were found higher (p<0.001) than those were not under control. Conclusion: It was concluded that approximately one of the two hypertensive patients was using nutrient-based natural products as an adjunctive health care supplement for antihypertensive treatment, however this did not have any impacts on blood pressure control and changing medication adherence. Blood pressures of the patients with a high level of adherence to their antihypertensive therapies have been under control. The healthcare professionals who work at primary care institutions should be aware of that they are advised to use some complementary practices besides medical methods for the purpose of controlling the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Amaç: Bu araştırma hipertansiyon hastalarının tamamlayıcı sağlık yaklaşımı (TSY) kullanımları ve bunun antihipertansif ilaç tedavisi uyumuna etkisini belirlemek amacı ile yapıldı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı özellikteki bu araştırma Erzincan il merkezinde bulunan Karaağaç Aile Sağlığı Merkezinde yürütüldü. Haziran-Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında merkeze herhangi bir nedenle başvuran ve antihipertansif tedavi alan bireyler araştırmaya alındı. Veriler açık ve kapalı uçlu soru formu ve İlaç Tedavisine Bağlılık/Uyum Öz-Etkililik Ölçeği Kısa Formu (İBÖS-KF) kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplandı. Kan basıncı, boy ve kilo ölçümü yapıldı. Bulgular: Hipertansiflerin % 42,7’sinin TSY olarak besin temelli doğal ürünler kullandığı, TSY kullanımının 65 yaş altındakilerde ve kadınlarda daha fazla olduğu (p < 0,05), TSY kullanımının kan basıncı kontrolü ve İBÖS-KF ölçek puan ortalaması üzerinde önemli bir etkisinin olmadığı belirlendi (p > 0,05). Hastaların ilaç uyumu iyi düzeydeydi. Kan basıncı kontrol altında olanların İBÖS-KF ortalamaları olmayanlardan daha yüksek bulundu (p < 0,001). Sonuç: Yaklaşık olarak her iki hipertansif hastadan birisinin antihipertansif tedaviye ek tamamlayıcı sağlık yaklaşımı olarak besin temelli doğal ürünler kullandığı ancak bu durumun kan basıncı kontrolüne ve ilaç uyumlarına bir etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Antihipertansif tedavi uyumları yüksek olan hastaların kan basınçları kontrol altındadır. Birinci basamak sağlık kurumlarında çalışan sağlık profesyonellerinin hipertansif hastalarının kan basıncı kontrolü amacıyla tıbbi yöntemler dışında bazı tamamlayıcı uygulamaları da sorgulamaları önerilebilir.
