Can we recognize the patient’s willingness to abide by the physician’s advice?
Poznáme skutočnú ochotu pacienta dodržiavať rady lekára?
Kardiovaskulárne ochorenia sú v centre pozornosti, stále dominuje problém arteriálnej hypertenzie, ktorá patrí medzi choroby s najčastejším výskytom a s relatívne nízkou efektivitou farmakoterapie. Pre úspech liečby je mimo konania lekára rozhodujúci prístup pacienta, jeho ochota dodržiavať pokyny lekára, režimové opatrenia a medikamentóznu liečbu (1). Vzhľadom k nepriaznivej situácii vo vývoji kardiovaskulárnej chorobnosti považujeme určenie faktorov ovplyvňujúcich compliance pacienta za dôležitý predpoklad skvalitnenia zdravotnej starostlivosti s minimom nákladov. V našej práci sa pokúšame nájsť odpovede na niektoré nezodpovedané otázky v compliance k liečbe arteriálnej hypertenzie.
Kľúčové slová:
arteriálna hypertenzia – compliance – zdravotná výchova.

Overview
Cardiovascular diseases are permanently in the center of the physician’s attention. The main problem is arterial hypertension, which belongs to the most frequent diseases. There are some points necessary for successful treatment: the physician’s approach, the patient’s willingness to abide by the physician’s advice, mode of regimen, pharmacotherapy. With regard to the situation in cardiovascular diseases it is necessary to establish the factors influencing the patient’s compliance. This is the base of health care for patients with hypertension and it is a prerequisite for improving health care quality with minimal expenses. In our work we would like to find answers to some of the unanswered questions regarding compliance to therapy in arterial hypertension.
Key words:
arterial hypertension – compliance – health education.
