Abstract:
Introduction: Hypertension is the most common disease and usually arises without
complaints so many clients do not know that they have suffered from hypertension.
Until now Hypertension is still a major problem and is the first cause of death in the
world. This study aims to find out the Effectiveness of Family Mentoring Model against
decreased Blood Pressure of hypertensive clients.
Method: The research design used quasi-Randomized Control Group Pre-Test Post Test
Design experiments on 120 hypertensive clients using purposive sampling. Model
interventions are given for 8 weeks, and home visits are made once a week. Data
analysis using independent and dependent t tests.
Result: The results showed that the model intervention effectively lowers the blood
pressure of hypertensive clients. This was indicated by a systolic blood pressure
decrease of 18.8 mmHg significantly after the model intervention and significantly
different (p_value : 0.0001).
Conclusion: Diastolic blood pressure showed a significant decrease of 11.1 mmHg after
model intervention and significantly different (p_value : 0.0001). This model is
recommended to be implemented in all areas of work of public health centers as an
effort to control hypertension.
