| description | Objective
To examine elderlys' knowledge, health practice and attitude toward routine
medical check-up.
Design and setting
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at Klinik Rawatan Keluarga
(KRK), Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM).
Methods
A convenience sample of 90 men and women aged 60 years and above,
completed answering questionnaires of sociodemographic data, knowledge of
routine medical check-up, practice and attitude.
Findings
Educational level and socioeconomic factor (income) influenced elderlys'
knowledge and attitude. Meanwhile, health status influenced elderly practice.
Conclusions
The study revealed that one's knowledge does not necessarily reflect one's actual
practice status. This finding deserves the attention of older adult and health care
providers who consider patient awareness as fundamental to behavioral changes
and health centre visits for regular medical check-up. |
