Abstract

Objective: Survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among dyslipidemia patients at the 108 Military Central Hospital. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 92 dyslipidemia patients from May 2024 to October 2024 interviewed using the questionnaire of Mohammad (2018). Results: Knowledge: good 33.7%, average 21.7%, poor 44.6%. Attitude: positive 48.9%, negative 51.1%. Practice: good 30.4%, average 38.0%, poor 31.6%. There is a positive correlation between the average score of knowledge, attitude, and practice (p<0.05). Knowledge score increased proportionally with attitude score (r = 0.623; p = 0.000), knowledge and practice (r = 0.527; p = 0.000), attitude and practice (r = 0.811; p = 0.000). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia patients have low knowledge, attitude and practice related to CVD risk. There is a positive correlation between knowledge, attitude and practice. Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness, provide health education and counseling for dyslipidemia patients to see the importance and dangers of CVD, help them have good knowledge, thereby forming positive attitudes and healthy practices, delaying the onset of CVD.
