Women's health beliefs regarding hypertension.

Two hundred and forty female clients attending primary health care centers in Montego Bay and the Kingston Metropolitan Area were interviewed to obtain information about their beliefs with regard to hypertension. This study revealed that the variables-perceived susceptibility, perceived severity and 'cue to action'-identified in the Health Belief Model need to be strengthened if patient compliance and adoption of health-promoting behaviours are to be realized. This study also pointed out the pressing need for health care providers to enhance health promotion programmes relative to hypertension. These programmes should be aimed at increasing clients' knowledge base and self-care abilities in order to to help prevent and/or control this disorder.
