Perceptions of medication administration, Participation, Drug administration, HypertensionAbstract
A cross-sectional descriptive research attempted to investigate relationships and to compare perceptions and participations in drug administration among patients with hypertension in a tertiary hospital in the northern region. The study recruited subjects who were patients aged 20 years and older admitted to the inpatient department of the hospital. A total of 202 subjects were selected through stratified random sampling based on specific characteristics between May 15th and July 15th, 2023. The research tools consisted of 3 parts in a questionnaire concerning on personal characteristics, a perceived participation in hypertension, and a participation in drug administration for hypertension. Analyses of the data relied on descriptive and inferential statistics, including Spearman's correlation coefficient, independent samples t-test, and One - way ANOVA. The research results indicated the level of participation in medication administration perception was good on average. A mean participation score in drug administration was found at a highest level. Perception and participation in drug administration of patients exhibited positive relationship. Moreover, the age and personal characteristics led to significant different perceptions and levels of participation in drug administration at a 0.05 level. Recommendations could be made for promoting patients' perception and participation in drug administration that may significantly contribute to enhance blood pressure management, reduce the risk of complications, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with hypertension.
