Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence that requires comprehensive management. This study aims to explore the experiences of hypertensive patients in undergoing treatment in Bengkol Village, Manado City. Using a descriptive phenomenological qualitative design, this study involved 15 participants aged 30-70 years who were selected through snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using triangulation techniques. The results showed four main themes: treatment efforts through a combination of medical and traditional therapies, lifestyle adjustments with hypertension diet and physical activity, control compliance influenced by knowledge and family support, and prevention barriers including limited health services and economic factors. The study concluded that the experience of hypertensive patients reflects a holistic adaptation to chronic disease with social support as a key factor for successful therapy.
