Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic disease that can lead to severe complications if not properly managed. Medication adherence plays a crucial role in controlling blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Various factors affect patients' adherence to medication, including employment status, knowledge levels, and family support. This study analyzes the relationship between these factors and medication adherence among hypertensive patients in Ardimulyo Village, Malang Regency, using a cross-sectional design. Data were gathered through structured interviews and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results indicated no significant relationship between employment status (p=0.877) or knowledge level (p=0.181) and medication adherence. However, there was a significant relationship between family support and medication adherence (=0.047), with a weak to moderate correlation strength (contingency coefficient=0.240). However, family support plays a crucial role. Consequently, strategies aimed at improving medication adherence should focus on boosting family involvement and support systems to enhance health outcomes for patients with hypertension. Keywords: hypertension, medication adherence, employment status, level of knowledge, family support Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan penyakit kronis yang dapat menyebabkan komplikasi serius jika tidak dikelola dengan baik. Kepatuhan dalam minum obat menjadi faktor penting dalam pengendalian tekanan darah penderita hipertensi. Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi kepatuhan ini antara lain status pekerjaan, tingkat pengetahuan, dan dukungan keluarga. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara faktor-faktor tesebut terhadap kepatuhan minum obat pada penderita hipertensi di Desa Ardimulyo, Kabupaten Malang. Penelitian menggunakan desain analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara terstruktur dengan kuesioner yang telah divalidasi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji Chi-Square dan koefisien kontingensi untuk menilai hubungan antara variabel independen dan dependen. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara dukungan keluarga dengan kepatuhan minum obat (p=0,047) dengan kekuatan hubungan lemah hingga sedang (koefisien kontingensi=0,240). Sedangkan status pekerjaan dan tingkat pengetahuan tidak terbukti berhubungan dengan kepatuhan minum obat. Oleh karena itu, upaya peningkatan kepatuhan minum obat dapat difokuskan pada peningkatan dukungan keluarga terhadap penderita hipertensi. Kata Kunci: hipertensi, kepatuhan minum obat, status pekerjaan, tingkat pengetahuan, dukungan keluarga

Review

This study addresses a critical aspect of chronic disease management by investigating factors influencing medication adherence among hypertensive patients, a topic with significant public health implications. The research clearly aims to identify the relationship between employment status, knowledge levels, and family support with medication adherence in a specific rural Indonesian community, Ardimulyo Village. This localized focus is commendable, as understanding context-specific determinants can lead to more effective, tailored interventions for improving patient outcomes in managing hypertension. Employing a cross-sectional design, the researchers collected data through structured interviews and analyzed it using the Chi-Square test. The findings revealed no significant relationship between employment status (p=0.877) or knowledge level (p=0.181) and medication adherence. However, a significant association was identified between family support and medication adherence (p=0.047), with a weak to moderate correlation strength (contingency coefficient=0.240). This divergence in findings from commonly perceived factors offers valuable insights specific to the studied population. The results strongly suggest that, within the context of Ardimulyo Village, family support is a crucial determinant of medication adherence for hypertensive patients, outweighing the influence of employment status or knowledge levels. Consequently, the study's recommendation to focus strategies on enhancing family involvement and support systems is well-justified and practical. While the cross-sectional design limits the ability to infer causality, this research provides a solid foundation for developing targeted community-based interventions. Future studies could explore the specific dynamics of family support and investigate other potential predictors of adherence within this demographic using longitudinal designs to further elucidate these complex relationships.
