Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stress is associated with hypertension self-care behavior activity. Low self-care can cause hypertension and make hypertension uncontrolled. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension are very susceptible to experiencing stress through self-care activities that they must do.

AIM: This study aims to identify the role of perceived stress on the self-care behavior of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. This study aims to assess the correlation of hypertension self-care activity level effect factors with perceived stress in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

METHODS: This quantitative study with a cross-sectional design recruited 383 patients with uncontrolled hypertension at a community health center. The sampling technique is consecutive sampling. Perceived stress was assessed using Perceived Stress Sclae (PSS) and hypertension self-care activities were assessed using Hypertension Self-Care Activity Level Effect (H-SCALE). Data were analyzed using chi-square and multivariate test.

RESULTS: All respondents experienced stress, where 55.6% severed perceived stress and 44.4% moderate perceived stress. Severe stress occurs 60% in middle age, 54.2% in the elderly, 56.6% of male respondents, and 55.1% of female respondents. About 71.9% of respondents do not go to school, 69.2% are highly educated, and 56.6% of respondents do not work. Medication non-adherence (p = 0.000; OR = 0.941; 95% CI = 0.911–0.973) and weight management non-adherence (p = 0.006; OR = 0.956; 95% CI = 0.927–0.987) were positively correlated with the level of perceived stress in patients uncontrolled hypertension.

CONCLUSION: Improving coping strategies for stress by designing educational provisions about medication and weight management (diet and physical activity) are easily understood by people who do not experience education. Continuity and comprehensive education are needed.
