The prevalence of hypertension continues to increase, and various epidemiological studies revealed an increase in the incidence of hypertension in different parts of the world. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), The number of Americans over the age of 20 who suffer from hypertension has risen to 74.5 million, while nearly 90% of cases have no identified cause. If not treated effectively, hypertension may cause damage to blood vessels throughout the body, the most prominent of which is the danger of damage to the brain, eyes, heart, and kidneys. An introduction to stroke is essential for reducing the risk of stroke in people with hypertension. Multimedia is one of the developments in health education media, which is in accordance with the advancement of digital technology, incorporating stroke prevention. This study aims to examine the impact of multimedia-based education on hypertension patients' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior toward stroke prevention. This research is a quasi-experiment with a pre-posttest with a control group design. The sampling technique employed was simple random sampling, and the sample size determination utilized a hypothesis test of the average difference in two independent groups of 60 respondents. Data analysis in this study administered paired t-test and independent t-test. The results unveiled that there were significant differences in knowledge (p=0.022), attitudes (p=0.001), and behavior (p=0.008) of hypertension patients in preventing stroke after intervention in the form of multimedia-based education. Therefore, it is recommended that the community can perform hypertension treatment independently frequently, and the implementation of the prolanis program can be enhanced so that people can receive services easily and regularly to prevent stroke.
Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease and is a worldwide problem. Stroke is the third leading cause of death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stroke education with video on stroke prevention behavior in elderly hypertensives. This research method uses a quasi-experimental pre-post test only design. The population in this study were hypertensive elderly who visited the Elderly Posyandu. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling, with a total sample of 31 respondents. Methods of data collection by pre-post test and blood pressure examination. Analysis of research data using univariate analysis, and bivariate analysis using the dependent t.test statistic, while multivariate analysis using logistic regression tests. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of stroke education through video on knowledge of stroke prevention in elderly with hypertension (p = 0.002). There was no effect of stroke education through video on stroke prevention attitudes in elderly hypertension (p = 0.86). There is an effect of stroke education through video on stroke prevention skills in elderly with hypertension (p = 0.003). There is an effect of stroke education through video on systolic blood pressure in elderly with hypertension (p = 0.000).
