The research design is quantitative descriptive. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total of 60 respondents. The measuring tool for self-efficacy is the GSE Scale questionnaire. The data analysis used was univariate, namely data on the characteristics and description of self-efficacy of hypertensive elderly who live with their families. The results showed that the majority were aged 60-74 years (elderly) (95.5%), most were women (61.7%), almost half were Javanese (36.7%), almost half had completed junior high school (46, 7%), and 50% do not work.
