Abstract

Hypertension happens when blood pressure exceeds the normal threshold; it can be dangerous and a major cause of cardiovascular system complications. Hypertensive patients must make a self-care effort to avoid complications. This research aims to determine the effect of self-care according to the Dorothea Orem approach in the cardiac ward of the Public General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah – RSUD) R. Syamsudin, SH in Sukabumi City, West Java, Indonesia. Our research was quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design model. Samples were selected using probability sampling through a systematic random sampling approach. We had 34 hypertensive patients as our samples. Data were analyzed using Bivariate analysis of the Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test. Findings showed different Dorothea Orem’s knowledge of the control and treatment groups during the pre-test and post-test, in which the p-value for the Man-Whitney test was 0.049 (p-value < 0.043) and the average difference value between the control and treatment groups was 21.76. To sum up, health education on self-care knowledge effectively improves the self-care knowledge of Dorothea Orem among hypertensive patients. It is recommended that the hospital continue health education.
