Purpose: This study aimed to suggest hypertension-related vocabularies which hypertensive patients can understand easily.
Methods: The survey was conducted from 267 hypertensive patients and 162 public health nurses in 8 community health centers in Busan from October 21 to November 8, 2013. Data were analyzed using SPSS program and included descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and χ2 test.
Results: The mean score for 26 hypertension-related vocabularies comprehension of hypertensive patients was 16.1 out of 26 points. The score was significantly lower among participants who were women, older, less educated, had limited ability to read and write, and had worse self-rated health. Over half of them didn’t know the correct meaning of 9 out of 26 hypertension-related vocabularies. Twenty-two vocabularies such as hypertension that nurses used for health education were in different use, patients understand.
Conclusion: Based on the results, it is recommended to educate hypertensive patients by replacing hypertension-related vocabularies with more easily understandable words when providing health information.
