Özet:

 


Metabolic syndrome is a common global public health
problem and it is characterized by a group of risk factors in one person.
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of cardiometabolic risk factors. Many people
may not be aware of the risks for MS. MS is a condition which can lead to many
complications including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide. The aim of
this study was to examine the knowledge, attitude and practices toward of
cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. A
total of 140 adult subjects (78 males and 62 females) aged 35 years and over
were included in this study. The sample group consisted of patients diagnosed
with metabolic syndrome from January 2018 to January 2019 who were admitted to
the public hospital. Questionnaire was used to evaluate knowledge, attitude and
practices toward behavior (CAP) related to CVDs disease risk factors. CAP
scores were defined as poor, mean and good. Data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics. ANOVA and post hoc tests were performed to determine
within- and between-group differences. Level of significance was set at P < 0.05.
Results:
55.8% of the participants were male, 25% were between 55-59 years of age and
44.3% completed secondary education, 32.2% were workers and 30% were lower
secondary. Participants with high application scores significantly reduced BMI
and WC, suggesting that better information and practices were associated with a
reduction in CVDs risk markers in these patients. Good attitude scores were
associated with education and Waist circumference (WC). As a result;
Despite having a good attitude, MS patients did not follow good lifestyle
practices to prevent CVDs. The results of this study require intensive training
interventions to prevent complications in these patients.
