Some studies indicate there was a high prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension among working-age groups that were major health problem which requires urgent action [7,10]. There is a gap in recording and reporting, no study reports show that undiagnosed hypertension in the study area.…”

Introduction Hypertension is a common public health problem and often goes unnoticed and can lead to a stroke or heart attack. It contributes to the high burden of cardiovascular disease, premature mortality, reduced quality of life and high costs to the health care system, especially in low and middle-income countries. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and influencing factors with health-seeking behaviour.Method A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 randomly selected adults in Hawela Tulla Sub-city, Hawassa, southern Ethiopia from February to June, 2019. Data was collected by pre-tested questionnaires and physical measurements of weight, height and blood pressure were collected through standardized procedures adapted from WHO STEPS survey tools. Data entry and analyzed for descriptive and logistic regression models by SPSS v.23. The result declared as statistically significant at p < 0.05.Result The prevalence of the undiagnosed hypertension among the respondents was 12.3%. The male [AOR= 3.70, 95% CI:1.64-8.32] than female contributing. Family history of hypertension had [AOR 3.69, 95% CI: 1.31-10.34], being physical inactive [AOR 3.21, 95% CI: 1.50- 6.84], salty food consumer [AOR 3.67, 95% CI:1.26-10.64], BMI 25 Kg/m2 and above [AOR 3.06, 95% CI:1.41-6.65] and not seek health care for some early hypertensive symptoms without serious illness [AOR 4.58, 95% CI: 1.85-11.32] when compared to their counterparts, were found to be determinant factors for undiagnosed hypertension.Conclusions and Recommendation The prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension found to be prevalent and calls for intervention. Health officials need to consider integrating the prevention and control of hypertension at the community level. The clinicians need to intervene on unhealthy lifestyles, by promoting healthy practices and health-seeking behavior to prevent undiagnosed hypertension.

Background: Hypertension is defined as two or more readings of systolic blood pressure measurement of 130 mmHg or higher or diastolic blood pressure measurement of 80 mmHg or higher. In the early stages, symptoms of hypertension (HTN) are often not detectable and thus many people with the disease are left undiagnosed. Undiagnosed HTN increases the risk of complications such as renal failure, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke and premature death. There is paucity of data concerning undiagnosed hypertension in southern Ethiopia. This study is aimed to assess prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension and its associated factors among adult peoples.Method: Community based Cross-sectional study design was conducted. English version questionnaire was used to collect data from 574 households. The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS version.23. The association between "blood pressure and socio-demographic characteristics', life style factors, behavioral factors..." was tested by using multivariate logistic regression at P-value less than 0.05 and 95% CI.Result: Out of 574 participants, 108 (18.8%) of the study participants were current cigarette smokers and 143 (24.9%) were khat chewers. A sedentary lifestyle was seen in 106 (18.5%) of the studied people. Undiagnosed HTN was observed in 47 (15.3%) of the study participants. A total of 260 (45.3%) of respondents were identified as having undiagnosed hypertension. Body mass index (BMI), sedentary life style, cigarettes smoking, health seeking behavior, dietary habit and monthly income were significant predictors of undiagnosed HTN. Conclusion:Almost 50% of the adult population in the southern of Ethiopia shows undiagnosed hypertension and this is significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI), sedentary life style, cigarettes smoking, health seeking behavior, dietary habit and monthly income.

Introduction: Globally, hypertension is a significant public health challenge. Elevated BP is responsible for 7.6 million deaths per annum globally, which is greater than any other risk factors. The aim of the study was to assess the hypertension recommended self-care knowledge, attitude, practice and its predictors among hypertensive patients on follow-up clinic. Methods A cross-sectional survey was done on 120 hypertensive patients who were on follow-up clinic at Asella Referral and Teaching Hospital. The data were collected from patients from 23/12/2020 to 16/01/2021 by face-to-face interview and medical records review. Data were entered into Epi Data version 4.2.0.0 and exported to SPSS version 23.0 for statistical analysis. Results The level of good knowledge, favorable attitude, and good practice towards recommended Self-care was 60.0%, 52.5%, and 50.8%, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that; formal education [AOR = 3.615, 95%CI (1.262, 10.352), p = 0.017], and receiving information about Self-care from healthcare providers during follow-up [AOR = 3.307, 95%CI (1.226, 8.926), p = 0.018] were factors significantly associated with knowledge towards recommended Self-care. Having good knowledge towards Self-care [AOR = 13.449, 95%CI (4.794, 37.728), p = 0.000] was significantly associated with attitude towards recommended Self-care. Receiving information about Self-care from healthcare providers during follow-up was 3.887 times [AOR = 3.887, 95%CI (1.232,12.261), p = 0.021], having good Knowledge towards Self-care [AOR = 3.195, 95%CI (1.161,8.794), p = 0.025], having a favorable attitude towards Self-care [AOR = 3.093, 95%CI (1.198,7.990), p = 0.020] were factors significantly associated with practice towards recommended Self-care. Conclusion The level of good knowledge, favorable attitude, and good practice towards recommended Self-care among hypertensive patients on follow-up was unsatisfactory. Health education programs about hypertension self-care are needed to take place to improve their knowledge, attitude, and practice of the patients.
