Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: To investigate the factors influencing drug compli¬ance in essentially hypertensive patients. Material and Method: The age, social security, monthly inco¬me, occupation, education level, duration of hypertension of 95 patients (74 women and 21 men) were evaluated in an outpatient hypertension clinic. For evaluating the drug comp¬liance, the difficulties they faced, the reasons of stopping the therapy and the non-pharmacologic methods they have been using for regulation of hypertension were asked. The difficul¬ties; D1: purchasing problem due to the high price, D2: forgetting the medication, D3: being not aware of the obligation of medical treatment, D4: stopping the treatment conceiving that it is harmful, D5: the lack of patient information, D5: ces¬sation of medication for feeling (him) herself healthy. Regula¬tion methods; R1: nonsalty diet, R2: weight reduction, R3: exercise, R4: using herbal products. Results: Compared to the middle and middle-high income grup, the low income grup has a longer duration of hyperten¬sion and drug administration, as (x=5.36, p<0.05), (t—2.81, p<0.01). Patients who have faced the difficulties D3, D5, D6 have had a longer duration of stopping the treatment, as (t=-4.30, p<0.001), (t=-2.81, p<0.01), (t=-2.81, p<0.01). There wasn't any difference between the group using non-pharma-cologic methods. Conclusion: We have found a negative correlation between drug compliance and the education and socio-economic levels in the essentially hypertensive patients. We consider that, in¬forming patients about their diseases and medication would improve the drug compliance for chronically ill patients.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Çalışmamız, esansiyel hipertansiyon hastalarında ilaç uyuncunu etkileyen sosyo-ekonomik faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem: Hipertansiyon polikliniğinde takip edilen esansiyel hi-pertansiyonlu 74 kadın, 21 erkek, toplam 95 hastada hipertansiyonun süresi, meslek ve eğitim durumu, aylık gelir düzeyi ve sosyal güvence belirlendi. ilaç uyuncunu saptamak amacıyla, karşılaştıkları güçlükler, ilaca ara verme nedenleri ve hipertansiyon regülasyonunda kullandıkları non-farmakolojik yöntemler soruldu. Güçlükler; G1: fiyatının yüksek oluşu nedeniyle alamama, G2: unutkanlık nedeni ile kullanamama, G3: ilaç kullanma zorunluluğunun bilincinde olmama, G4: zararlı olduğunu düşünerek ilacı bırakma, G5: hekimin yeterli bilgi vermemesi, G6: hastanın kendisini iyi hissederek ilacı kesmesi. Regülas-yon yöntemleri; R1: tuzsuz diyet, R2: kilo verme, R3: uygun egzersiz, R4: bitkisel ürün kullanımı olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Hipertansiyon ve ilaç kullanım süreleri, düşük gelire sahip ve sosyal güvencesi olmayan grupta, orta ve orta-üstü gelir düzeyinde olan gruba kıyasla sırasıyla (x=5.36, p< 0.05), (t=-2.69, p<0.01) daha uzundu. G3, G5 ve G6 ile karşılaşan hastalarda ilaca ara verme süresi sırasıyla (t=-4.30, p<0.001), (t=-2.43, p<0.05), (t=-2.81, p<0.01) daha yüksekti. Non-farma-kolojik yöntemler kullananlar ve kullanmayanlar arasında bir fark gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda eğitim ve sosyo-ekonomik düzey düşüklüğünün, esansiyel hipertansiyon hastalarında ilaç uyun-cunu olumsuz yönde etkilediği saptandı. Hastaların hastalıkla¬rı ve ilaçları hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olmaları ile kronik hastalıklarda tedaviye uyuncun artabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
