Patient’s Behaviour with Coronary heart desease Viewed from Socio-Cultural aspect of Aceh Society in Zainoel Abidin Hospital

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a chronic inability of heart to draw an adequate blood on myocardium due to specific problem in coronary artery. When the artery that supplies myocardium is interrupted, thus the heart is unable pumping the blood effectively to fill up an adequate blood perfusion to vital organs and other peripheral tissues. If the perfusion is impaired in time of oxygenation, the patient will threatened by a sudden death. This is a quantitative, analytical and observational research with a design of case study control, in which the subject is CHD patients and the control is non-CHD patients. The research populations were 2318 outpatients with CHD who visited Heart Polyclinic at Zainoel Abidin Hospital Banda Aceh. The sample studied were 92 patients with CHD and 92 patients with non-CHD (control). We used primary and secondary data that processed through editing, coding, entry, cleaning and tabulating. The data was analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. The results showed that the CHD occurrences are significantly influenced by eating behavior (p = 0,000), smoking habit (p = 0,000) and sporting habit (p = 0,000). Therefore, health workers are expected to increase health promotion in order to improve the quality of life of people, especially in elderly people, by adopting a healthy lifestyle and avoiding CHD risk factors. Moreover, people are also suggested to take regular lipid profile check up and keep off smoking habit in order to do early prevention of CHD.

Self-medication practices can develop in different countries with varying patterns, given that most human behaviors are influenced by ideas, ideologies and conventions depending on the cultural and social environment of the area [ 83 ]. Therefore, to draw meaningful conclusions, it is important to conduct such studies among various demographics.…”

Generally, the results of this study showed significant differences in both the health literacy level and self-medication behaviors and the relationship between these two components with the results of similar studies.…”

“…Thus, it can be said that they play a very significant role in family health care. Considering that most human behaviors are influenced by beliefs, creed, and customs based on the cultural and social context of societies (29), self-medication behaviors can also appear in different societies with different patterns. The researchers in the present study did not find a similar study in Iran investigating the relationship between health literacy and the occurrence of self-medication behaviors.…”
