Abstract

Hypertension is a significant health problem in the elderly that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Home care has the potential to improve hypertension management in this population. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of home care in managing hypertension in the elderly. This study uses a mixed-methods design with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitatively, quasi-experimental studies were carried out with intervention and control groups. The intervention group received home care services, including education, blood pressure monitoring, and medication adherence support. The control group received standard treatment. Blood pressure data were measured at the beginning of the study. Qualitatively, in-depth interviews were conducted with the elderly and home care nurses to understand their experiences and perceptions. Quantitative results showed a significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group compared to the control group after 6 months (p < 0.05). Qualitative results revealed that the elderly felt more motivated and better-understood hypertension management thanks to home care support. Home care nurses also reported increased medication adherence and positive lifestyle changes in the elderly. Home care is effective in improving hypertension management in the elderly. These services provide comprehensive support, including education, monitoring, and motivation, which contribute to lowering blood pressure and improving the quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

Knowledge directly affects a person; attitudes arise due to the presence of knowledge from the individual. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that causes death. Tuberculosis is transmitted through the air and is influenced by risk factors that play a role in transmission, such as people's attitudes, knowledge, and behaviour. This study aims to determine the influence of knowledge and community attitudes in preventing tuberculosis. The research design uses a descriptive survey with an observational approach. Accidental sampling method with a total of 52 respondents. Research instruments using questionnaires and observation sheets. Data analysis with multivariate linear regression test. The results of the statistical knowledge test with a p-value: of 0.811, an attitude of 0.599 and a multivariate logistic regression test showed that among the variables of understanding and attitude, the knowledge variable was more significantly related to efforts to prevent tuberculosis, as evidenced by the sig value. P value: 0.997 and Exp (B) 2.256. It can be concluded that the attitude and towards tuberculosis prevention efforts, but knowledge has partial value to Tubercollusis prevention efforts. Suggestions need to be made to educate them massively and continuously about tuberculosis, which are main causes, ways of transmission, and prevention.
