Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore hypertension patients' perceptions about hypertension treatments and preventing hypertension complications. Method: This study was qualitative and phenomenological. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. The study was performed on 12 individuals with hypertension, three family members of an individual with hypertension, and one health worker. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and a semi-structured interview guide. This study's trustworthiness was achieved using triangulation data sources and member checking. Results: Informants in this study perceived that hypertension treatments consist of pharmacological and herbal treatments. Informants who stopped taking antihypertensive admitted that they did not feel the effectiveness of antihypertensive and felt more effective with herbal treatments. They were also afraid of the long-term side effects of drugs and thought that herbal treatments had no long-term side effects. The informants who felt the effectiveness of antihypertensive regularly continued the treatment and combined it with herbal treatment. The treatments carried out by the informant aim to prevent complications of hypertension; besides that, the informant also believes that a healthier lifestyle can prevent complications. Conclusion: The effectiveness of hypertension treatments that individuals feel can affect their' continuation of the treatments they did. The individuals who did not feel the benefits of treatment tend to take another treatment that is considered more effective. Their concern about hypertension complications is the reason for their adherence to both pharmacological and herbal treatment.

 Iron deficiency anemia is a significant global public health concern that disproportionately affects young children and pregnant women. One effective method for monitoring medication in pregnant women is through mobile applications. This study aims to investigatepregnant women’s experience with iron supplementation adherence management using amobile application. A qualitative study with a phenomenology approach was conductedamong 20 pregnant women and midwives. The qualitative method was used to explore participants’ experience using a maternal application called “MySmart Bumil” to improvepregnant women’s adherence to iron supplements. The study identified four themes: the factors of non-compliance, the motivation for taking iron supplements, and the benefits andthe weaknesses of using the application. Mobile app reminders can help pregnant womencheck medication frequency, remind them to take iron tablets, and build more consistentmedication habits. However, some pregnant women found that the reminder was ineffective. Pregnant women thought that the notifications should have alarms to be more effective. The mobile application has the potential to assist health providers in effectively monitoring the health state of pregnancy and improving adherence to iron supplementation
