Determinants of hypertension-related knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) among caregivers in Neno, rural Malawi: A cross-sectional study
Caregivers demonstrated poor knowledge but engaged in good practices. Despite their limited understanding, they maintained an excellent attitude towards hypertension. This highlights the necessity for increased prevention, and control strategies within communities, emphasizing health education on lifestyle modifications and to address the gaps identified in caregivers' understanding in the prevention and management of hypertension.
