Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension in elderly is triggered by the thickening and stiffness of arterial wall due to ageing processes. One attempt to prevent the complications of hypertension is by change their lifestyle, such as perform a low-salt diet. The implementation of a low-salt diet on elderly should be adjusted with their behavior and habits. TPB is one of theoretical attempt to identify the relationship between elderly’s attitude and their behavior, and to emphasize the importancy of intention as determinant of behavior, focused on cognitif and rational decission making process. This study was aimed to analyze the improvement of low salt diet behavior based on TPB on elderly with hypertension.Method: This research was used descriptive design with observational analytic method. Population were elderly with hypertension recorded at Puskesmas Pucang, Kota Surabaya. Samples were 32 respondents, taken randomly. Data were collected by using questionnaires and direct interview. Data were then analyzed by using Partial Least Square (PLS).Result: The results had showed that intention to implement a low-salt diet was built by attitudes toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (PBC) on elderly with hypertension. A low-salt diet behavior was built by intention to implement a low-salt diet on elderly with hypertension.Discussion: These results can be used as a model to improve low salt diet behavior on elderly with hypertension.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to analyse the impact of the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF) on the self-care agency of patients with chronic hypertension in Surabaya. Methods: This study employs an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 300 respondents from families of patients with hypertension who meet the inclusion criteria. The independent variables examined include the six dimensions of the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF): problem-solving, communication, family roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, and behaviour control. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is self-care agency, which consists of medication, physical activity, and diet. Hypothesis testing was conducted using SEM-PLS, which was processed with SmartPLS 4.0.4 software. Results: The analysis results indicate that the MMFF has a positive and significant effect on self-care agency, with a coefficient of 0.340 (CI = 0.247 – 0.445). The effect size result obtained an effect size value of 0.131. Structured and adaptive family support, particularly in communication and affective involvement, has enhanced patients' motivation to adhere to medication and engage in self-care activities. Conclusions: This study expands on previous research on the role of family support in self-care agencies, by involving the McMaster Family Function Model (MMFF) to analyse the specific role of family functions in improving self-care agencies in chronic hypertension patients, thus providing a more comprehensive, contextual, and relevant perspective for family-based interventions. These results also enrich other theoretical studies, namely the Family-Centred Care (FCC) Model, Social Support Theory, and Health Belief Model (HBM).
