Knowledge and Practices towards Prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease in Hypertensive Patients
Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is the largest and most common factor
for deaths and diseases in India. One of the serious complications of
hypertension is chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to its high treatment
costs and poor outcomes, CKD has become a major global health
problem.
Objective: The present study was conducted to improve awareness and
practices that can help prevent CKD in hypertensive patients.
Methodology: A sample size of 200 was calculated. A questionnaire
was formed which included different questions regarding knowledge
and form of practices to prevent CKD. The questionnaire was sent to
the participants. Data were obtained based on the responses of the
participants.
Result: Out of the total 200 participants, 120 (60%) had an average
knowledge of chronic kidney disease with a mean score of 5.04 ± 3.13
and 160 (80%) were doing different forms of prevention practice with
a mean score of 52.47 ± 0.78.
Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the obtained results, this study
concluded that average knowledge was found in more than half of
the population regarding chronic kidney disease. The practice for the
prevention of CKD among participants was found to be good among
most of the participants.
