Globally in 2015, 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women.
In 2015, 28% of the population in low-income
countries had high blood pressure, compared to 18%
of the population in high-income countries. A
review of current trends shows that the number of
adults with increased blood pressure increased from
594 million in 1975 to 1.13 billion in 2015, with an
increase seen mostly in low and middle-income
countries (WHO, 2018).
The prevalence of hypertension according to the
results of measurements in the population aged ≥18
years in 2018 has increased by 8.3%. The prevalence
in 2013 was 25.8% in 2018 to 34.1%. While the
proportion of history of taking drugs and the reasons
for not taking drugs in the population of
hypertension in 2018 reached 45.6%. Reasons for
non-compliance with these drugs were 59.8%
feeling healthy, 31.3% did not routinely go to health
care facilities, 14.5% took traditional medicine,
12.5% other reasons, 11.5% often forgot, 8.1% was
not able to buy routine drugs, 4.5% cannot stand the
side effects of drugs, 2% do not exist in health care
facilities. The prevalence of DKI Jakarta for
hypertension according to the results of
measurements in the population aged ≥18 years in
2018 is above 30% (Kemenkes RI, 2018).
Hypertension is a major risk factor for coronary
heart disease, chronic kidney disease, ischemic,
hemorrhagic and stroke, if left uncontrolled,
complications due to hypertension are heart failure,
peripheral vascular disease, kidney failure, retinal
bleeding, vision problems, stroke and dementia
(WHO, 2018).
Hypertension not only damages blood vessels but
also organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys, and
eyes. The longer you suffer from hypertension the
greater the chance of organ damage. As a result,
serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke,
kidney disease and eye damage is occurring (Casey
et al., 2006)
Risk factors for hypertension can be divided into
2 (two), which are factors that cannot be changed
and factors that can be changed. Factors that cannot
be changed include genetics, age, gender and race,
while factors that can be changed include smoking,
obesity, lazy lifestyle (Less Motion), excess salt,
caffeine and alcohol use (Casey et al., 2006).
Adherence to taking medication in hypertensive
patients is very important because blood pressure
can be controlled by taking regular antihypertensive
medication so that in the long run the risk of damage
to important body organs such as the brain, heart and
kidneys can be reduced (BPOM, 2006). Compliance
with the treatment of hypertension patients is
important because hypertension is an incurable
disease but must always be controlled or controlled
so that complications do not occur that can lead to
death (Palmer & Williams, 2007).
According to a research journal entitled
Determinants of adherence to hypertension treatment
patients at first-level health facilities in Palembang
in 2017 concluded that patient compliance in
undergoing hypertension treatment is also a
determinant that influences blood pressure control
(Liberty et al., 2017)
Kalideres Sub-district Primary Health Center is
one of the working areas of the West Jakarta District
Health Office, based on interviews conducted with
one of the Kalideres District Primary Health Center
staff, one of the causes of high hypertension rates in
Kalideres Sub-District Primary Health Center is
because the Kalideres Sub-District Primar Health
Center is a referral Health Center of 12 (two twelve)
Village Office of Primary Health Center in the
Kalideres sub-district area.
Based on data found during direct observation of
the primary health center there is an increase in the
number of hypertensive patients. In 2017,
hypertension patients numbered 12,171 cases,
increasing in 2018 to 13,648 cases. From the last
two months data which is in February 2019 and
March 2019, there is an increase in the number of
cases of hypertension from 555 cases to 588, which
is an increase of 5%.
Based on the results of interviews with the
Kalideres District Primary Health Center staff one of
the causes of the increasing number of hypertension
patients with level II is due to the non-compliance of
hypertension patients with the treatment control
schedule, this causes patients not to receive
antihypertensive drugs which they should consume
until the next control schedule. One of the effects of
level II hypertension is death, from interviews with
the Kalideres District Primary Health Center staff
supported by a 2018 surveillance report, 36 cases of
patients died from hypertension in 2018.
2 THEORY REVIEW
2.1 Hypertension
Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure which
will discuss target organs such as stroke (for the
brain), coronary heart disease (for heart vessels) and
right ventricular hypertrophy / left ventricular
hypertrophy (for the heart muscle) with the main
