“…The majority of the study respondents knew that hypertension (51.8%) and diabetes (57.8%) are the risk factors for the development of CKD. This nding is similar to several studies elsewhere (10)(11)(12). This nding is promising since the public has a good awareness on the risk factor of the disease the possibility of prevention would be higher.…”

“…Lower number of a study respondent (22.6%) believes that herbal supplements can be effective in treating CKD however 2/3rd of the participant from Tanzania study claimed that they were likely to use traditional medicines for the treatment of kidney disease and also around 14% of use selftreatment with home remedies (13). A study from Nigeria revealed that 47.8% of respondents have faith in local herbal concoctions and spiritual means to cure CKD (10). This may be associated with the belief in herbal medicine in the urban area.…”

“…Poor glycemic control, uncontrolled hypertension, nephrotoxins drugs and smoking are recognized as the leading risk factors of CKD (8,9). Between 1990 and 2010, the spread of CKD moves up to signi cant lists of causes of global death, which is from 29th to 18th (10). A large Chinese study found a 10.8% prevalence of CKD.…”

Background : awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes general knowledge of CKD, its risk factors. Early identification and management of CKD can reduce undesired outcomes related to the disease. However, nearly all CKD conditions were not clinically familiar primarily because of the poor public awareness about the disease. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted. The target population of this study was lay public and health professionals were excluded from the study. Proportional numbers of study participants were included from each sub-city based on their total population size. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Frequencies, table’s percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the response of participants. Independent T test and one way ANOVA statics were used identify factors associated public knowledge of CKD. Results: A total of 350 individuals were approached, 301 of whom completed and returned the questionnaire, giving a response rate of 86%. In this study, the mean (SD) knowledge score of participants was 11.12 (±4.21) with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum of 22. With respect to distribution of CKD knowledge score, half of the respondents score 11 and less. One way ANOVA revealed that educational level had significant effect on knowledge of CKD. Respondents who had a qualification of degree had relatively higher knowledge scores than the other category participants ( P-value = 0.015). Independent t-test was also performed but failed to reveal any association between socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge score. Conclusions : The general knowledge level of the Ethiopian population about CKD and its risk factors is low. Currently, non-communicable disease such as diabetes and hypertension becomes public concern those are one of the significant risk factors for CKD. As our study indicated even these groups of populations are not adequately informed regarding their increased risk for developing CKD. Keywords: chronic kidney disease, public knowledge, Ethiopia

“…And similarly a study in Malaysia showed a significant lack of knowledge about CKD among medical patients, such that 73.7% of participants scored less than 4 out of 7 in their knowledge score [12]. Additionally, a recent Nigerian study by Oluyombo et al [32] found that none of the patients with CKD who had diabetes or hypertension was aware of kidney disease. This insufficient knowledge certainly creates an obstacle against attitudes and practice as similarly a study found that knowledge of cardiovascular health enhances attitudes and practices [33].…”

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease: a cross sectional study from Palestine

BackgroundHypertension is the second most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, the aims of the study were to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD, and to determine the clinical and socio-demographic factors, which affect the KAP regarding prevention of CKD.MethodsA cross-sectional study was held using the CKD screening Index to assess the KAP of 374 hypertensive patients who were selected from multiple primary healthcare centers in Nablus, Palestine. The CKD Screening Index is formed of three scales. First, the knowledge scale was a dichotomous scale of 30 items, while the attitude scale used 5-point Likert-type scale for 18 items and finally the practice scale was measured using 4-point Likert-type scale for 12 items. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the association between clinical and socio-demographic factors and practices.ResultsIn total, 374 hypertensive patients participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 59.14 ± 10.4 years, (range 26–85). The median (interquartile range) of the knowledge, attitude, and practice scores of hypertensive patients towards prevention and early detection of CKD were 20 (16–23), 69 (65–72), and 39 (36–42), respectively. In multiple linear regression analysis, patients age < 65 years (p < 0.001) and patients with high education level (p = 0.009) were the only factors significantly associated with higher knowledge scores. Additionally, patients age < 65 years (p = 0.007), patients with high income (p = 0.005), and patients with high knowledge score (p < 0.001) were the only factors significantly associated with higher attitude scores. Furthermore, regression analysis showed that patients with higher total knowledge (p = 0.001) as well as higher total attitudes scores towards CKD prevention (p < 0.001), male gender (p = 0.048), and patients with normal body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.026) were statistically significantly associated with higher practice score towards CKD prevention.ConclusionsAmong hypertensive patients, higher scores for total knowledge and attitudes toward prevention, male sex, and normal BMI were associated with modestly higher scores for prevention practices. Finally the findings may encourage healthcare workers to give better counseling to improve knowledge.

“…[22] Though some in Tanzania use traditional healers and traditional medicines for CKD treatment, [16] or believe CKD can be cured by herbal therapy or spiritual means and urine therapy for kidney disease treatment. [10,23] A systematic review of CKD emphasised the contributing factors to non-adherence in CKD patients. [24] These findings indicate a need for widespread CKD awareness and educational programs at the national level.…”

BackgroundChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global public health burden. Most people miss the early subtle signs that can develop at any age. CKD has severe complications, including End-stage Renal Disease. ObjectiveTo assess the knowledge level of CKD risk factors and preventive practices among university students in Rwanda. Methods A cross-sectional study design was used from April to May 2017. A stratified random sampling technique was used to recruit 260 university students. A 36-item questionnaire was selfadministered. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. ResultsThe mean age was 29 years and over half were female (53.4%). A great number (44%) had a low knowledge level of CKD and its risk factors, a third (34%) had moderate, and only (22%) had a high knowledge level of CKD risk factors. The majority (50.4%) had low level of preventive practices, nearly half (45%) had moderate and only (4.6%) had high level of preventive practice. Conclusion CKD knowledge and preventive practices in this study population were low. Knowledge gained and desire for healthy preventive practices may have been a benefit of the study. CKD educational programs should be further developed to prevent this significant problem affecting the Rwandese community.Rwanda J Med Health Sci 2019;2(2): 185-193.
