Participation in community-based health care interventions (CBHIs) and its association with hypertension awareness, control and treatment in Indonesia

Abstract

Background Little attention has been paid to whether CBHIs improve awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in the contexts of low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). This study therefore aims to examine participation in CBHIs for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and its association with awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension among Indonesians. Methods This study used data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), drawn from 30,351 respondents aged 18 years and older. Participation in CBHIs was measured by respondents’ participation in CBHIs for NCDs (Posbindu PTM and Posbindu Lansia) during the 12 months prior to the survey. Logistic regressions were used to identify the relationships between participation in CBHIs for NCDs and awareness, treatment, and control of blood pressure among respondents with hypertension. Results The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 31.2% and 29.2% in urban and rural areas, respectively. The overall age-adjusted prevalence was 30.2%. Approximately 41.8% of respondents with hypertension were aware of their condition, and only 6.6% of respondents were receiving treatment. Participation in CBHIs for NCDs was associated with 50% higher odds of being aware and 118% higher odds of receiving treatment among adults with hypertension. There was no significant association between participation in CBHIs for NCDs and controlled hypertension. Conclusion Our data emphasise the importance of CBHIs for NCDs to improve the awareness and treatment of hypertension in the Indonesian population.

A Cross-Sectional Study of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices concerning COVID-19 Outbreaks in the General Population in Malang District, Indonesia

“…In this study, these benefits were shown by the positive relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practices and being informed about COVID-19 by these workers. Our findings support previous studies in India, Botswana, Brazil, and Indonesia that highlight community health workers as the backbone of these countries’ healthcare systems [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ]. While these studies reported on the benefits of community health workers for various health services during typical times, our study demonstrates that community health workers also play a pivotal role in fighting the pandemic in Indonesia [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ].…”

Relationship between Testosterone levels with Hand Grip Strength, Calf Diameter, Lung Function, Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure in Elderly Men

“…In this study, 38 samples of men aged 60 years to 75 years, specifically this study was conducted in the elderly population. This is in accordance with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 13 of 1998 which states that elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60 years and over.17 In Indonesia, especially in old age, hypertension is very common (Sujarwoto & Maharani, 2020). In 38 samples of this study, 21 samples were hypertensive patients and 17 samples were non-hypertensive, which had systole blood pressure varying from 100 mmHg to 160 mmHg and diastole blood pressure varying from 70 mmHg to 100 mmHg.…”
