Little is known about health care beliefs and practices among Vietnamese elderly persons living in the United States. In general, studies of patient compliance with medical advice consistently demonstrate a high level of noncompliance. Not following recommendations can have serious negative consequences in the management of disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate compliance among a group of elderly Vietnamese clients with the plan given to them by their physicians for control of hypertension. Because the literature reports a high correlation between income and level of education with compliance in other groups, these factors were also studied as they related to this Vietnamese group. Thirty participants were surveyed with a Self-Reporting Adherence Scale (SRAS) questionnaire, to determine their compliance. A descriptive correlational study was done to determine the relationship between income and education regarding compliance to a plan to control hypertension in Vietnamese clients 65 years and older. The participants were selected from a convenience sample of senior Vietnamese men and women. The mean for compliance on the SRAS questionnaire showed a high level of compliance reflected as most of the time or four out of five with five being high on the Likert scale. There was also a positive statistical relationship found between both income and educational level with compliance using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Suggestions were recommended for future research
