| dc.description.abstract | Hypertension is still one of the problems that exist in the world
of health to this day. General public knows it as hypertension
because of the increase in blood pressure exceeding the
normal limit. According to 'Riskesdas’ data in Southeast Asia in
2018, the number of hypertension patients in Indonesia
increased by 34.1% annually. This study uses a correlational
analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. Data was
collected in July 2024 with a population of 35 respondents and
a sample of 33 respondents who met the inclusion and
exclusion criteria with purposive sampling techniques. Data
processing included coding, editing, and tabulating, then
analyzed with SPSS software for the Wilcoxon test with an α of
0.05. The study results showed that before the counseling was
carried out, as many as 13 respondents had poor selfmanagement, while 15 had good self-management after
counseling. Meanwhile, the blood pressure results before
counseling were 21 respondents with unstable systolic results
and 23 respondents with stable diastolics, while after
counseling there were 24 respondents with stable systolic
results and 33 respondents with stable diastolic. After the
Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.003 in self-management, a
p-value of 0.001 in systolic blood pressure, and a p-value of
0.002 in diastolic blood pressure, which was smaller than α
(0.05). This shows the influence of health counseling on selfmanagement and blood pressure stability in hypertensive
patients. This research shows that health counseling is essential
to realize good self-management in hypertensive patients so
that good blood pressure stability can be achieved. | en_US |
