Hypertension Case Study In my volunteer service experience, I chose patients for case studies. The theme I chose is GKM. The main complaint of the patient when visiting the clinic was to follow up her high blood pressure and to provide more medicine for the disease. GKM is a 56 - year - old white woman aged 12 to 14 - 43 years old. Her past medical history and surgical history include childhood disease, heart and cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Her childhood illness is chickenpox, mumps and scarlet fever.
There are several problems leading to inconsistent survey results: inaccuracies in the diagnosis of hypertension. Many studies have been influenced by the ambiguous state of hypertension in many participants. In most studies almost all hypertensive patients have marginal or mild hypertension and categories of hypertension and normotensive differentiation are often unknown. Furthermore, in many studies, the diagnosis is based on accident rather than dynamic blood pressure measurement, and many "hypertensive" subjects are indeed considered to be white coats rather than sustained hypertension. Self-selection bias In many studies, volunteers have self-selective prejudices towards anxiety and psychological awareness about the effects of psychological factors and interventions.
Hypertension and psychology study: lack of influence and decades of new research in decades of research
Background Hypertension is the most important preventable cause of morbidity and mortality, but representative nationwide adult data in Indonesia is not yet available. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of hypertension, including social demographic variables, weight status, health behavior, psychosocial stress, and risk factors for support. Method Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS - 5) conducted interviews and examinations on a nationwide cross - sectional survey covering an average age of over 29 years of age at 29.39 years and an average age of 43.3 years (standard deviation = 15.3 years). Measure blood pressure, height and weight, eating behavior, physical activity, tobacco use, psychosocial variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate determinants of sex hypertension. As a result, the prevalence of hypertension in the study participants was 33.4% (95% CI: 32.7 - 34.0), 31.0% in men (95% CI: 30.2, 31.9) and 35.4% in females (95% CI: 34.6, 36.3). Conclusion
Prevalence and social determinants of hypertension in Indonesia: a collective-based cross-sectoral national survey
