The Effect of Self-Management Education as a Family-Based Nursing Model on Blood Pressure Control in Patients with Hypertension

Hypertension is a persistent pressure where the systolic pressure is
above 140 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg.
Uncontrolled hypertension causes complications such as stroke, heart
failure and kidney failure. So, it is very important for patients to apply
hypertension self-management to prevent and reduce the impact of
complications. Hypertension is a chronic disease whose handling
requires the ability to manage one's own behavior (self-management
behavior) in daily life such as; diet management, exercise, taking
medication and the ability to manage stress. The benefits of SelfManagement are, Self-management supports active patient participation
in treatment, minimizes the impact of chronic diseases on function and
health status and patient collaboration with health workers.The purpose
of this study is that patients and families who experience hypertension
know and can control blood pressure properly to reduce high blood
pressure. This research is in the form of Self- Management Education
techniques. Respondents with the Wilcoxon Test obtained a p value =
0.000, while for the effect of Hypertension Self-Management Education
there was a decrease in blood pressure with a p test of 0.000. Conclusion
Hypertension Self-Management Education (HSME) affects blood pressure
control in patients with hypertension as a family-based nursing model.
