Blood Pressure Examination Habit and Its Determinants Among Civil Servants in Arba Minch Town: A Cross-Sectional Study - Using Hurdle Poisson Regression Model.
Background: Hypertension is a common non-communicable disease detected through blood pressure measurement that makes periodic health examinations crucial for the detection, prevention, and timely treatment.
Objective: To assess the frequency of blood pressure examination and its determinant among civil servants in Arba Minch Town, south Ethiopia.
Methods: From February to March 2020 an organization-based cross-sectional study design was employed among civil servants in Arba Minch town. Data were collected from 580 randomly selected civil servants using a well-structured questionnaire. Hurdle Poisson regression model was conducted to identify determinants of frequency of blood pressure examination using R version 4.0.2.
Results: A total of 407 (70.2%) civil servants had never examined their blood pressure within a year before the study time. The mean frequency of blood pressure examination was 0.71 with a standard deviation of 1.46. The hurdle Poisson regression analysis indicates age above 40 years (IRR = 6.11, p < 0.001), elevated blood pressure (IRR = 1.48, p < 0.001), no family history of hypertension (IRR = 0.59, p < 0.001) had significant effects on the expected number of non-zero counts blood pressure examination. And education status (OR; 2.39, p < 0.05), poor knowledge about hypertension, not getting advice from health professionals (OR = 8.93, p < 0.001), and age above 40 years had significant effects on not taking blood pressure examination.
Conclusion: The frequency of blood pressure examinations among civil servants was found to be low. This study reveals age, elevated blood pressure, family history of hypertension, getting advice, and knowledge on hypertension were found to be determinants of the frequency of blood pressure examination. Thus, concerned health authorities and medical workers should work on these factors to prevent and detect hypertension among apparently healthy civil servants.
