Abstract

Uncontrolled hypertension can cause various serious complications, one of which is chronic kidney failure (CKD). Hypertensive patients' knowledge of their disease plays an important role in the prevention behavior of complications such as chronic kidney failure. Good knowledge is characterized by an understanding of risk factors, the importance of blood pressure control, adherence to taking medications, as well as a healthy lifestyle such as a low-salt diet and regular exercise that can prevent complications, one of which is chronic kidney failure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and chronic kidney failure prevention behavior in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center. The method used is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional design. The research sample amounted to 95 patients who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire that measured the level of knowledge about hypertension and chronic kidney failure prevention behaviors. The data were analyzed univariate and bivariate using the spearman rank test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that most of the respondents were at a good level of knowledge and the majority had good kidney failure prevention behaviors. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a weak level of relationship strength (0.333) between knowledge and GGK prevention behavior in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center (p < 0.05) with the direction of positive relationship. In conclusion, the higher the knowledge, the better the behavior to prevent chronic kidney failure, even though the strength of the relationship is relatively weak. This suggests that knowledge plays a role in the formation of preventive behaviors, but is not the only factor that influences them.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the non-communicable diseases with an increasing prevalence and is a public health problem because it is often asymptomatic but at risk of causing serious complications. One of the non-pharmacological efforts that plays an important role in controlling hypertension is the implementation of a low-salt diet. However, low patient knowledge about low-salt diets is still a major obstacle in the management of hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on the knowledge of low-salt diets in hypertensive patients at the Limboto Health Center. This study uses a quantitative design with a pre-experimental approach through one group pretest-posttest design. The study population is hypertension patients recorded in November 2025 with a sample of 44 respondents taken using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using a low-salt diet knowledge questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Health education is provided through counseling methods using leaflet and Power Point media. Data analysis was carried out using the Paired Sample T-Test to see differences in knowledge levels before and after health education. The results of the study showed that after being given health education, most hypertensive patients had a good level of low-salt diet knowledge but still found patients with sufficient and insufficient knowledge levels. These findings show that there is a knowledge gap in some patients regarding the implementation of a low-salt diet. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous health education by health workers to improve patient understanding in hypertension control.
