Abstract

Background: Elderly with hypertension are highly susceptible to psychological disorders, such as depression and anxiety, due to complex physiological and psychosocial changes. However, comprehensive studies examining the interplay of stress, anxiety, and depression within this population remain limited. The purpose of this study is to analyze mental health problems: Depression, Anxiety, Stress in the elderly with hypertension in the Mojosongo Region of Surakarta. Methods: This research method utilised a descriptive analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 39 elderly people who met the inclusion criteria, namely (1) elderly and (2) having systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg. The research instrument used the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation test. Results: Mild depression was dominated by mild hypertension (63.6%), and moderate (76.9%) p=0.571. Mild anxiety was dominated by mild hypertension (54.5%), moderate (76.9%), and severe (75%) p=0.899, mild stress was dominant in mild hypertension (68.2%), moderate (69.2%), and severe (50%) p=0.719. Conclusion: This study found no significant association between the levels of depression, anxiety, or stress and the severity of hypertension. However, given the high prevalence of psychological distress observed in the descriptive findings, healthcare professionals should prioritize mental health screening in elderly patients. Managing these psychological conditions remains crucial for improving overall quality of life, even if it does not directly correlate with blood pressure reduction.

Abstract

The elderly population in Indonesia has a high prevalence of hypertension reaching 63.2%. This physical condition is exacerbated by anxiety reaching 45-60% in hypertensive elderly people in nursing homes who have not received comprehensive non-pharmacological interventions. This activity aims to empower the elderly in managing anxiety through the application of a combination of Mindfulness therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The program involves hypertensive elderly. The implementation method is carried out through the preparation stage, implementation; health education, demonstrations, hands-on practice of mindfulness and EFT therapy, mentoring, and evaluation of ability to practice therapy, and anxiety levels before and after the intervention using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and structured questionnaires. This activity is supported by educational media in the form of pocket books and therapy guide videos. The results of the activity showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the elderly in conducting therapy independently, a decrease in anxiety levels. The combination of mindfulness therapy and EFT has been shown to be effective in improving the ability of the elderly to manage anxiety and can be applied sustainably as a non-pharmacological approach to improve the quality of life of the elderly with hypertension.
