“…Furthermore, no association was found between happiness status and low awareness of hypertension treatment. This result is consistent with data obtained in a cohort study with a 31-year follow-up in London, which revealed the lack of robust associations between life satisfaction and incident hypertension [ 65 ]. One unexpected finding is that health insurance coverage was not associated with low awareness of hypertension treatment.…”

Introduction: Low awareness about hypertension treatment is recognized as a significant cause of treatment failure. Therefore, identifying its underlying factors is essential for developing effective intervention strategies. This study aims to identify the modifiable and non-modifiable factors associated with low awareness about hypertension treatment.Method: This national, cross-sectional, population-based survey used publicly available data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) for 2014 among respondents with hypertension aged ≥15 years. Depression and insomnia, as modifiable factors, were assessed using the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) and the Patient-Recorded Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire, respectively. Non-modifiable factors, such as sociodemographic information, were obtained from self-reported data. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between these factors and low awareness about hypertension treatment. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported. Result:The study recruited 7,920 respondents, the majority of whom were female (53.8%) and aged <60 years (71.1%). The prevalence of low awareness of hypertension treatment was 87.

Aims: To develop and validate a new instrument to measure satisfaction with integral care (doctor–nurse) of the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, considering expectations-experiences together for the primary level of care Methods: The instrument was constructed with questions regarding integral care to measure the satisfaction of the diabetes patient and was classified into four domains. The validity of the content was done through a panel of experts, apparent validity through a focus group, the validity of the construct through analysis of the main components and confirmatory factorial analysis, instrument reliability with internal consistency, determined by Cronbach alpha and temporal stability (test-retest) Results: The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.942. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.849. Validity of the construct showed acceptable goodness-of-fit and factorial structure with four factors: communication, empathy, technical care, care continuity, and 24 items for each domain, giving a Kayser–Meyer–Olkin index above 0.80 and a total variance above 73% Conclusions: The instrument is reliable and is also valid in terms of up into construct and content to evaluate satisfaction. Practice Implications: In addition, these results allow to have elements for the design of strategies aimed at improving the relationship of health personnel with the patient.

“…The association between life satisfaction and CVD risk has been investigated, yet no decisive conclusions have been reached [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Most previous studies were limited by the short follow-up periods, suggesting that reverse causality bias might have influenced their results.…”

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Life satisfaction is a measure of mental health with a potential cardioprotective role. This study aimed to investigate the association between life satisfaction and ASCVD risk in the general Japanese population. Method We used data from 6,877 people (30–84 years) registered in the Suita Study, a Japanese population-based prospective cohort study. All participants were free from stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) at baseline. Then, participants were followed up for incident ASCVD, including cerebral infarction and CHD. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of incident ASCVD according to life satisfaction. Results Within 102,545 person-years (median follow-up = 16.6 years), 482 incident ASCVD events were identified. In the age- and sex-adjusted model, being very satisfied, rather satisfied, or not sure, compared to being dissatisfied with life, showed a lower risk of ASCVD: HR (95% CI) = 0.55 (0.41, 0.74), 0.67 (0.50, 0.89), and 0.57 (0.36, 0.88), respectively (p-trend < 0.001). The associations remained consistent after adjusting for stress and unfortunate events: HR (95% CI) = 0.57 (0.42, 0.77), 0.68 (0.50, 0.91), and 0.54 (0.35, 0.84), respectively (p-trend < 0.001). The results did not vary between cerebral infarction and CHD: HR (95% CI) for being very satisfied with life = 0.58 (0.37, 0.91) and 0.55 (0.36, 0.84), respectively. Conclusion Life satisfaction was inversely associated with the risk of ASCVD in the investigated general Japanese population.
