“…In this study, the correct rate of disease knowledge answers in patients with hypertensive nephropathy was 77.8%, showing a medium to high level, which is higher than that in less developed countries, such as 47.9% in Gima, Ethiopia, Africa (Tegegne et al, 2020), 68.7% in Gondar Town, Ethiopia, Africa (Asmelash et al, 2020), 50% in Indonesia (Agustiyowati, 2020), and 26.3% in Malaysia, which is a developed country (Ng et al, 2016). The results of this study are different from those of the above-mentioned scholars, which may be attributed to the promotion of health policies by governments in different countries.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among disease knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality of life in patients with hypertensive nephropathy. A cross-sectional and correlational design is employed in this study, and a total of 213 participants are collected by convenience sampling from the outpatient Department of Nephrology of a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan. The research instruments include the Hypertensive Nephropathy Knowledge Instrument, the Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy Instrument, and the Medical Outcome Study Short Form-12, and stepwise multiple regression analysis is used to test the explanatory power of each significantly-correlated independent variable regarding the quality of life. The results show that the higher the disease knowledge, the better the self-efficacy, and the better the quality of life, and self-efficacy is the most important predictor of the quality of life.

“…A study conducted in Jordan revealed that most of the participants had appropriate knowledge about CKD [ 28 ]. Moreover, nearly half of the participants in a study conducted by Tegegne et al were well-knowledgeable on the prevention and early detection of CKD [ 29 ]. Contrary to these findings, in a study of the Australian public’s understanding of CKD, half of the participants had knowledge scores of less than the median [ 16 ].…”

Introduction Good knowledge and early identification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can help in preventing disease progression in its early stages and reducing undesired outcomes. The aim of the current study was to assess the level of public knowledge about CKD, determine predictors of better knowledge, and to construct and validate a CKD knowledge scale for public health assessment and research use. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted using an electronic self-administered questionnaire. All people living in Lebanon and being 18 years of age and above were considered eligible for recruitment. CKD knowledge was assessed by a 37-item scale that was constructed by principal component analysis and then validated. The score of the CKD knowledge scale was computed from the extracted factors. A multivariable binomial logistic regression model evaluated the sociodemographic and clinical predictors of the knowledge score. Results A total of 1308 participants were included. The scale items converged over 9 factors with Eigenvalue greater than 1 and explaining 53.26% of the total variance, and the total scale had a high Cronbach’s alpha of 0.804. All items of the scale significantly correlated with the full scale with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.082 to 0.558. The ROC curve analysis determined an optimal cutoff point of better knowledge at 47.5 with 70.6% sensitivity and 44.2% specificity. The CKD knowledge score had a median of 51.00 (IQR 47.00–55.00). Higher knowledge score was significantly associated with old age (ORa = 1.018, 95% CI 1.006–1.030, P = 0.003),, occupation (ORa = 3.919, 95% CI 2.107–7.288, P < 0.001), and recent renal function assessment (ORa = 2.314, 95% CI 1.532–3.495, P < 0.001). However, a lower knowledge score was significantly associated with lower level of education (ORa = 0.462, 95% CI 0.327–0.653, P < 0.001). Conclusion A reliable tool to assess public knowledge and awareness about CKD was developed and validated. The overall knowledge was good, however, important gaps in CKD awareness were detected in some areas and subpopulations. Therefore, public health stakeholders need to implement targeted CKD educational activities to minimize the disease burden.

“…In Tanzania, 37.5% of hypertensive patients had a good knowledge of chronic kidney disease [16]. In Nigeria, 26.1 [17] and in Ethiopia 47.9 [18]. This difference between countries may be due to differences in study design and tools.…”

Background and Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now a global public health problem. In low-and middle-income countries such as the Congo, access to dialysis is low and inequitable. The prevention of CKD involves raising awareness among patients at risk, such as those suffering from arterial hypertension (AH), by improving their knowledge of CKD. The objectives of our work were to determine the level of knowledge about CKD among hypertensive patients and to identify the factors associated with a low level of knowledge. Methodology: We conducted a 3-month descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from 1 August to 30 October 2023 in 3 large public hospitals in Brazzaville (capital of the Republic of Congo). We included: hypertensive patients aged 18 and over who had freely consented to participate in our study and were able to answer the questions on the survey form. Patients with known hypertension who had been followed for less than 3 years and those with known chronic renal failure were not included. Results: The mean age was 58.4 ± 14.4 years (29 -88 years). There were 121 men and 150 women (sex ratio = 0.8). All the patients were educated; 37.2% with a higher level of education and 13.6% with primary education. 24 patients (9%) had a good level of knowledge about CKD and 153 (56%) had poor knowledge. A good level of knowledge was associated with the duration of hypertension, intellectual level and the existence of associated heart disease. Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant lack of knowledge about chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients in Brazzaville.
