Abstract
A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to identify the relationship between health literacy for stroke prevention and optimal blood pressure in hypertension patients. Data were collected between October 2021 and December 2021. The sample was selected using the multi-stage sampling method to recruit 258 hypertensive patients in Health region 7. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, clinical information; and health literacy for stroke disease. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the logistic regression and generalized linear mixed model. The results showed that in all most of the samples (40.32%) had a controllable blood pressure level, 51.45% reported low level of health literacy in all four skills, including access, comprehension, appraisal and application. The patients who had high levels of comprehension were 3.81 times more likely to have optimal blood pressure than those who had low levels (Adjusted OR=4.20, 95% CI=2.34 to 7.53). Patients who had high levels of applcation had 4.49 times higher odds of optimal gotmal blood pressure than those who had low levels of application. (Adjusted OR=5.26, 95% CI=2.71 to 10.19). In conclusion public, health personnel should promote health literacy in comprehension and application stroke prevention skills in patients with hypertension.
