Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, leading to various organ damage and multiple comorbidities, requiring complex treatment in the elderly. This study aimed to explore the efforts made to prevent complications among hypertensive patients at the Nirwana Wreda Elderly Posyandu. A descriptive research design was employed, involving 75 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The study population consisted of elderly individuals with hypertension attending the Nirwana Wreda Elderly Posyandu. Data collection took place from February 12 to 29, 2024, using a structured interview tool comprising eight preventive behavior indicators. The findings revealed that all respondents (100%) reported not consuming alcohol, 67 individuals (89%) did not smoke, 53 (71%) practiced effective stress management, and 50 (66%) maintained a healthy sleep pattern. Additionally, 47 respondents (62%) engaged in regular physical activity, 45 (60%) attended routine health check-ups, 44 (58%) followed a balanced diet, and 30 respondents (40%) consistently took prescribed medications. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the majority of participants demonstrated inadequate prevention of hypertension complications. Therefore, efforts to enhance preventive practices are strongly encouraged. This study offers valuable insights for hypertensive individuals, educational institutions, and future researchers to strengthen strategies aimed at preventing complications associated with hypertension.
