Abstract

Hypertension is one of the global health problems whose prevalence continues to increase, including in adolescents. Lack of knowledge about the risk factors, prevention, and impact of hypertension can exacerbate long-term health risks. This study aims to analyze the effect of Health Belief Model (HBM) implementation on increasing the knowledge of at-risk adolescents about hypertension prevention. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test approach. The research sample was 40 at-risk adolescents in Bojong Sawah Village, who were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Paired Sample T-Test test. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge of adolescents after the implementation of HBM (mean pre-test: 17.00; post-test: 24.00). The statistical test showed a p value = 0.000 (<0.05), which indicated that the implementation of HBM had a significant effect on increasing respondents' knowledge. In conclusion, the implementation of HBM is effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge about hypertension prevention. This study recommends the application of HBM in health education programs to address hypertension, especially in the adolescent age group.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between family support and self-care management in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis at Sekarwangi Regional Public Hospital. A correlational research design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, involving 109 respondents. Data on family support were collected using the Perceived Social Support-Family (PSS-Fa) questionnaire, while self-care management was assessed using a self-care management scale. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed to analyze the data. The results indicated that 78.9% of respondents received good family support, and 91.7% demonstrated good self-care management. Statistical analysis using Fisher’s Exact Test showed a significant relationship between family support and self-care management (p = 0.019). Patients with good family support were more likely to have better self-care management (95.3%) compared to those with insufficient family support (21.7%). This study highlights the critical role of family support in enhancing patient confidence and adherence to self-care practices, which contributes to better management of CKD and improved quality of life. The findings suggest that strengthening family involvement in care could significantly improve the self-care management of CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Further interventions to enhance patient education and family support are recommended to optimize health outcomes for CKD patients.
