Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease with a high prevalence in Indonesia. Many patients do not understand the importance of regular medication and self-monitoring, which impacts the level of treatment adherence. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the use of educational and monitoring books on improving knowledge, medication adherence, and quality of life in hypertensive patients. Method: The study used a pre-test-post-test design at the Bandarharjo Community Health Center, Semarang. A total of 15 hypertensive patients were given a book containing basic education about hypertension, as well as a table for monitoring medication intake and physical activity. Assessments were conducted using a knowledge questionnaire, MMAS-8 (adherence), and SF-36 (quality of life). Result: After the intervention, participants showed increased knowledge and engagement in self-recording. The majority found the book helpful, though some encountered obstacles, such as visual impairment and forgetting to record. The average knowledge score increased from 10.32 to 13.8; the MMAS-8 score indicated moderate adherence with an average value of 5.8. Quality of life, as measured by the SF-36, showed a physical domain score of 48.2, while the psychological and social domain scores were 67.5 and 70.4, respectively. Conclusion: The use of educational and monitoring books is effective in increasing knowledge and encouraging self-monitoring in hypertensive patients. Continued support from family or health workers is needed to improve adherence and overall quality of life.
