Hubungan Perilaku Pencegahan Komplikasi Dengan Activity Daily Living Dan Tekanan Darah Penderita Hipertensi

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition, which means that if you have suffered from it, you have to be treated regularly, and if it is left untreated for a long time, it will cause complications. The behavior of hypertensive patients who do not follow recommendations will cause complications. Behaviors that support hypertension in preventing complications include adopting a healthy lifestyle, such as maintaining a diet, reducing salt consumption, doing sports and physical activity, stopping smoking, and consuming alcohol. People who have had hypertension and complications for a long time will struggle with activities of daily living (ADL). ADL is a daily activity in self-care. With 91 respondents, this research method is correlation with purposive sampling. Complication prevention behavior was measured using a complication prevention behavior questionnaire, while activity in daily living was measured using a Barthel index questionnaire, and blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer. The results showed that 3 people had good complication prevention behavior with mild ADL dependence and 8 people had good complication prevention behavior with stage II hypertension. Data analysis of complication prevention behavior with activity-based daily living was carried out using the Spearman rho correlation test, which obtained a p-value of.002, and complication prevention behavior with blood pressure obtained a p-value of.036. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between complication prevention behavior, ADL, and blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
