FARINA BRUNO, Nelly Mabel et al. Factors that influence adherence to nutritional treatment in hypertensive patients, Paraguay 2021. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.1, pp.16-26. ISSN 2072-8174. https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2024.ene.01.016.026.
Introduction:
nutritional treatment is affected by the behavior of the subjects to generate adherence. This study was carried out to determine factors that influence non-adherence to nutritional treatment in hypertensive patients who attend the Coronel Oviedo Regional Hospital, 2021.
Methodology:
this was a cross-sectional descriptive observational study. The population was comprised of patients registered in the hypertension department of the Coronel Oviedo Regional Hospital. Sociodemographic data, nutritional treatment factors and the degree of adherence to nutritional treatment were studied.
Results:
206 subjects participated in the study, 53.4 % were 55 years old or younger and 81.1 % were female. We found that only 3.8 % of patients adhere to treatment. Non-adherence due to the knowledge factor was related to low educational level (p=0.032), to the health team factor with coming from a rural area and having a low educational level (p=0.006, p=0.002), to the patient factor with coming from a rural area (p=0.002), to have a low educational level (p=0.008) and to have obesity grade II and III (p=0.036). Global non-adherence was related to being married (p=0.001) and doing housework (p=0.009).
Conclusions:
adherence to treatment is low in the study population.
