Description
Background: Sodium consumption behaviors (SCB) play a significant role in the
development of kidney failure and associated comorbidities in patients with chronic
kidney disease (CKD). Despite the widespread harmful effects of excessive salt
consumption, factors influencing SCB in patients with non-dialysis CKD are still
little known in Myanmar. No previous study was carried out among Myanmar
populations with non-dialysis CKD.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the association between socio-demographic
and clinical profiles and SCB in patients with non-dialysis CKD in Myanmar.
Methods: Cross-sectional data of 123 patients with non-dialysis CKD, gathered
from a tertiary hospital-based study in Myanmar, were analyzed. Non-dialysis CKD
patients who had been diagnosed with CKD for more than 3 months were recruited
via convenience sampling. Data were collected using demographic and clinical
characteristics data form, and Sodium Consumption Behaviors Questionnaire
(SCBQ). Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis.
Results: The mean score of SCB was 31.5 (SD=5.1), indicating quite good
behaviors. Participants who had high education (= -.233, p= .006) and old age (=
-.169, p= .048) were more likely to have good SCB, whereas participants who took
antihypertensive medication (= .304, p= .001) and had comorbidities (= .232,
p=.006) were more likely to have poor SCB.
Conclusion: The participants in this study displayed quite favorable SCB.
Educational level, age, taking antihypertensive medication, and comorbidity
significantly contributed to SCB. Hence, nurses and other healthcare providers
should screen patients with these characteristics and provide health education to
promote good SCB and prevent the progression of CKD in non-dialysis CKD patients
in Myanmar.
