Abstract

Hypertension remains a critical health challenge worldwide, with uncontrolled hypertension being a significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elderly patients often face difficulties in hypertension management due to limited knowledge, adherence barriers, and lack of education. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an mHealth-assisted patient education intervention on knowledge and attitude among elderly patients with uncontrolled hypertension. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted among 39 patients aged 46–55 years (48%) and 56-65 years (52%). Patients accessed an mHealth application featuring interactive hypertension management modules. Knowledge and attitude were assessed using validated questionnaires pre- and post-intervention. Results showed a significant improvement in both knowledge and attitude scores post-intervention (p 0.05). The mHealth-based approach effectively increased patient understanding and encouraged a positive attitude towards hypertension management. The study highlights the potential of mHealth applications in enhancing hypertension knowledge and attitude among elderly patients, emphasizing the need for integrating digital tools in routine hypertension care.

Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are increasingly recognized as vital tools for enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and quality of healthcare delivery. Despite regulatory mandates in Indonesia, the adoption of EMRs remains uneven, particularly in rural healthcare settings. This study applied the Unified Theory of Acceptance and apply of Technology (UTAUT) to investigate the behavioral intention of healthcare professionals working in private hospitals to use electronic medical records. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was implemented involving 90 participants selected through purposive sampling in an Indonesian hospital. The study's data were gathered between October 2024 and January 2025 using a validated 18-item UTAUT-based questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS and SmartPLS software. Results indicated that all four UTAUT construct – Performance Expectancy (β = 0.200, p = 0.016), Effort Expectancy (β = 0.353, p < 0.001), Social Influence (β = 0.291, p < 0.001), and Facilitating Conditions (β = 0.262, p = 0.008 – had statistically significant positive effects on Behavioral Intention. The model demonstrated moderate explanatory power (R² = 0.655) and strong predictive relevance (Q² = 0.512). These results validate the UTAUT model's suitability in this context and provide practical insights for strengthening EMR implementation strategies. Future research should consider longitudinal approaches and multi-site comparisons to enhance generalizability and policy relevance.
