Analysis of Posyandu Elderly Hypertension Patients' Motivation and Culture for Medication Compliance

Abstract

Uncontrolled blood pressure is primarily caused by noncompliance with hypertension treatment, which also poses a significant risk for other illnesses. This study sought to examine the impact of culture and motivation on hypertension patients' adherence to their drug regimens. With a cross-sectional methodology and a quantitative observational research design, this study aims to analyze how motivation and culture affect hypertension patients' adherence to medication. 38 respondents made up the entire population, and 34 respondents were selected for the sample using the simple random sampling method. The results revealed that 16 respondents, or nearly half of the sample, exhibited low category motivation (47.06%). The majority of those surveyed fell into a culture category of less than 19.
