Study On Intervention Measures Of Hypertension In Baon District, Shenzhen

Primary hypertension is a clinical syndrome which mostly represent the heighten ofsystemic arterial pressure. It is the most common cardiovascular disease, which resultin patho-damage of general arteriola and target organs. Also,it is a kind of chronicdisease, as well as an important risk factor of cardia and cerebrovascular disease andkidney disease, so people give it a monicker: "silent killer". With the development ofsocial economy, the prevalence of primary hypertension in China has been increasingyear-by-year, but the prevention and cure is at a low level all the while, the situation isvery serious. The high prevalence of hypertension will lead a lot of coronary arterydisease and stroke patients, the disease not only harm people's health seriously anddecrease the quality of life, but also take up limited health resource. Besides above,hypertension bring on the persisting rise of fee-for-service. The prevalence ofhypertension in developed delta region of Zhujiang river is the highest, at the sametime, those developing regions, such as north, northeast, northwest of Guangdongprovince, has the least hypertension patients. This phenomenon demonstrate: thechance of getting hypertension will increase greatly if we only emphasize thedevelopment of economy but ignore the prevention of hypertension. Objective::Learning about the local situation of hypertension, seeking out highrisk population and suspicious risk factors, arousing people's knowledge on thischronic non-infectious disease which harm human's health seriously by a series ofintervention measures, and then evaluating this intervention measures by comparisingthe change of human's knowing, change of living behaviors and manners, change oftreatment rates and blood pressure controlling rates cross-refer the intervention,providing scientific evidence for prevention and cure of hypertension, and workingout a suit of prevention and cure project to hypertension suited for local situation. Method: Through a cluster sampling, questionnaire investigation is brought out inBaocheng and Gongming town,with measuring research object's blood pressure and aroutine medical examination. Intervention evaluation takes place in Gongming town.500 people were sampled out for intervention which mostly is health education.Evaluation is carried out through questionnaire exam and routine health examinationand then, effect of this intervention can be estimated after statistical analysis. Result:1. Detection rate of hypertension in different district, gender and age; 2.The evaluation of intervention measures: it has a significant increase of knowledgeabout how to prevent and cure hypertension among target population afterintervention measures. Through the intervention, low salt rate increased from 2.6% to42.3% and drinking and smoking rate reduced from 24.4% and 43.6% to 11.6% and23.2% respectively. Through these measures, the rates of regular drug taken inhypertension people increased from 18.0% to 88.6%(P<0.001); control rate andeffctive rate increased from 42.8% and 9.4% to 84.6% and 51.3% respectively. Conclusion: Nowadays, hypertension has been one of significant public healthproblems in Baoan town area. Because environment and heredity influence itsmorbidity and principal environmental factor is living patterns, so it is effective toprevent and cure hypertension through intervention. Intervention will raise people'sattention to the severity of hypertension, change attitudes and reinforce people'srecognition to hypertension. Through the education of stop smoking and drinking, lowsalt diet and so on, make people comprehend the essentiality of lifetime cure andlifetime overdose, elevate cure rate and control rate, and ultimately achieve the goalof preventive and cure hypertension from tertiary prevention.
