Hypertension, Knowledge, Control, AttitudeAbstract
Hypertension is a global health problem and a major contributor to coronary heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension reached 34.1% in 2018, but decreased to 30.8% in 2023. Despite this decline, there is still a large gap between those diagnosed with hypertension and those undergoing regular treatment. According to data from the West Aceh Health Office, there was an increase in hypertension cases from 10,054 cases in 2022 to 12,570 cases in 2023, and again to 16,487 cases in 2024. In the working area of the Johan Pahlawan Community Health Center, the prevalence of hypertension reached 95.2% in 2024. This high figure shows that controlling hypertension is still a challenge, especially in relation to the level of knowledge and attitude of the community in maintaining blood pressure. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude of the community towards controlling hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of the community towards hypertension control in people aged 35-70 years in Gampong Panggong, Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency. This study used a quantitative cross-sectional design with 58 respondents in Gampong Panggong, Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency. Data were collected through structured interviews and questionnaires, then analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge, namely 39 people (67.2%), while 19 people (32.8%) had poor knowledge. There was a highly significant relationship between the level of knowledge and hypertension control in respondents aged 35–70 years in Gampong Panggong (p = 0.000). In terms of attitude, 43 respondents (74.1%) showed a positive attitude and 15 respondents (25.9%) had a negative attitude. Meanwhile, good hypertension control was found in 44 respondents (75.9%), and 14 respondents (24.1%) had poor hypertension control. There was a significant relationship between attitude and hypertension control (p = 0.018).
