Abstract

Background: Anxiety is common in hypertensive patients. Identifying factors associated with anxiety is helpful for early screening and management. Objectives: To analyze some factors related to anxiety in hypertensive outpatients in Bach Mai Hospital. Subjects and research methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 203 outpatients with hypertension treated at the Outpatient Department - Bach Mai Hospital from September 2022 to June 2023. Results: The rate of anxiety in hypertensive patients was 39.9%. The age group 40 and younger had a risk of anxiety 9.68 times higher than the age group over 40 (p=0.017, 95%CI: 1.14-81.99). Females were 2.13 times more likely to have anxiety than males (p=0.009, 95%CI: 1.20-3.77). The factors of time to detect the disease and time to treat hypertension were also related to anxiety in hypertensive patients with statistical significance with p < 0.05. Patients whose treatment results did not meet blood pressure targets had a 2.54 times higher risk of anxiety (p=0.004, 95%CI: 1.33-4.84). There was no association between anxiety and residence, educational level, economic status, severity of hypertension, number of hospitalizations per year for hypertension, number of medications, compliance with medical treatment, and number of target organ lesions of hypertension (p>0.05). Conclusion: Anxiety is common in hypertensive patients and is related to age, gender, time to detect hypertension, duration of treatment, and results of hypertensive treatment.
