ObjectiveTo investigate the status quo of type A behavior and medication compliance in elderly hypertensive patients in the community. MethodsA total of 334 elderly hypertensive patients were selected as the investigation objects, and their general information, type A behavior, and medication compliance were investigated. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze influencing factors for medication compliance in elderly hypertensive patients in the community. ResultsOf the 334 elderly hypertensive patients in the community, 156 (46.7%) patients had type A behavior, and 166 (49.7%) patients had good medication compliance. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, educational level, monthly income, and type A behavior were factors that affected the medication compliance of elderly hypertensive patients in the community (all P＜0.05). ConclusionThe medication compliance of elderly hypertensive patients in the community needs to be improved, and age, educational level, monthly income, and type A behavior are influencing factors for medication compliance in elderly hypertensive patients in the community. Community medical staff need to strengthen relevant health education and conduct personality screening for patients when necessary, so as to provide psychological counseling as soon as possible to reduce the influence of personality characteristics on medication behavior.
