“…In agreement with our observations, the study by Leyva, Venegas & Medel (2011) also reported mediocre self-care practices (25%-79%) by hypertensive patients. On the contrary, Cuellar et al reported positive practices related to attending control visits, identifying warning signs, and considering that the information provided by health care professionals is sufficient for them to understand treatment (G. Cuellar, Coneo, Camargo, R. Cuellar, & Betancourth 2015).…”

INTRODUCTION: The healthcare sector crisis is a reality affecting countries all over the world. In order to mitigate it, different cost-effective measures, such as promotion of health and disease prevention, have been implemented. However, several variables may limit these measures, among which are patients’ responsibilities. Objectives: In this study patient behavior (disease knowledge and self-care practices) as a determinant factors in the healthcare system crisis was analyzed in a group of hypertensive patients. METHODS: This was a descriptive correlational cross-sectional study in which 185 patients diagnosed with high blood pressure attending the high blood pressure program at three different primary health care locations in Cartagena, Colombia 2017. A questionnaire, structured into three components: 1) sociodemographic characteristics, 2) disease knowledge, and 3) self-care practices and lifestyle, was administered to participating individuals. The Analysis of the information was made in SPSS version 22. RESULTS: The average hypertensive disease knowledge was high (60.5%). Self-care practices were rated as mediocre (73.5%) or poor (24.3%). A significant correlation establishing that with increased level of disease knowledge, self-care practices improve by 11.5% (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Patient behavior constitutes a determinant factor in the health care system crisis, since although hypertensive patients possess good disease knowledge, they do not put it into practice, constituting an absurd attitude taking into account that it’s related to their wellbeing, and it turns into an attack on a health care system that is about to collapse.

“…Por otro lado, Gómez, et al (2015) refieren que dentro de los factores que influyen negativamente en el control de los pacientes hipertensos, se encuentra la no asistencia a las consultas programadas, aspecto que contribuye a la cronificación de la patología. Así mismo, Rivera (2018) recalca que es trascendental una colaboración activa entre el profesional sanitario y el paciente en la toma de decisiones que afecte en su propia salud; Baron, Flórez y Zambrano (2016), en su estudio sobre complicaciones cardiovasculares precedidas por hipertensión arterial, afirma que la falta de control e inasistencia a las actividades preventivas y de seguimiento, puede conllevar a las alteraciones cardiovasculares, y por el contrario, la tensión arterial bien controlada, le permite al paciente llevar una vida más saludable.…”
