It is hoped that self-care will improve the health and quality of life. To achieve success in controlling hypertension, it is necessary to involve one element of the community (health cadre). Health cadres can participate in assisting and supporting hypertensive patients in self-care hypertension. However, there is no program that specifically trains health cadres in assessing hypertension self-care. So that community service programs oriented to empowering health cadres in hypertension self-care are needed to prevent complications and improve the quality of life for hypertensive patients. The purpose of this activity is to increase health cadre knowledge in assessing self-care in hypertensive patients. The method of activity is the training of health cadres in assessing self-care for hypertensive patients.  The target of this activity was 37 health cadres in the work area of Pasundan Health Center in Bandung City. The outcome of activities is an increase in cadre knowledge in assessing self-care in hypertensive patients. Evaluation is seen from the knowledge of health cadres before and after training. The result of the activity was that there were differences in knowledge of health cadres (α 0.000) after attending the training. Health cadre training in assessing hypertension self-care is effective in increasing health cadres’ knowledge about hypertension and hypertension self-care. Keywords: Health Cadres, Hypertension, Self-Care

Penyakit kardiovaskular yang menjadi penyebab utama kematian nomor satu di dunia adalah hipertensi. Hipertensi yang tidak terkontrol akan menyebabkan terjadinya komplikasi sehingga salah satu upaya untuk mencegahnya adalah dengan pengendalian hipertensi. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan yaitu dengan perawatan diri (self-care) hipertensi sehingga kualitas hidup dan derajat kesehatan pasien akan meningkat. Dalam pelaksanaannya, pengendalian hipertensi ini memerlukan keterlibatan unsur masyarakat, salah satunya kader. Agar kader mampu berperan serta dalam mendampingi dan mendukung pasien dalam self-care hipertensi, diperlukan adanya suatu kemampuan dan motivasi yang kuat untuk melaksanakannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi motivasi kader dalam mengkaji self-care pasien hipertensi. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah 37 orang  kader kesehatan yang didapatkan dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria inklusi aktif sebagai kader. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuisioner motivasi. Analisis data menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi kader dalam mengkaji self-care pasien hipertensi hampir setengahnya berada pada kategori tinggi dan sebagian besar berada pada kategori rendah. Dari hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagian besari dari kader memiliki motivasi yang rendah dalam mengkaji self-care pasien hipertensi. Sehingga perlu adanya pelatihan khusus dari pihak puskesmas mengenai self-care pada pasien hipertensi. Kata Kunci: Hipertensi, kader kesehatan, motivasi, self-care Abstract Motivation of health care in assessing self-care in hypertension patients.

Abstract Background Promoting self-care is one of the most promising strategies to manage people with chronic conditions and to improve the Public Health System resilience. In this context, the use of e-Health could facilitate self-care promotion, assure continuity of care and save time. Methods We performed an umbrella review on Cochrane, Scopus, Medline, PsychInfo, CINAHL to analyse e-Health self-care promoting intervention in patients with Type- 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to traditional intervention. AMSTAR-2 was used for quality appraisal. Results 10 systematic reviews were included for an amount of 376 RCTs and 3 quasi-experimental studies. All the e-Health interventions retrieved were categorized in 4 subgroups: Phone Reminder, Telemonitoring, Psychoeducational intervention supported by PCs/Apps and Combined Intervention. Nurses (271/379 studies) and physicians (149/379 studies) were the healthcare workers mostly involved in the administration of e-Health interventions. T2DM (5 reviews; 175 studies) and CVD (7 reviews; 164 studies) patients gained more progresses in self-management than COPD patients (3 reviews; 8 studies). E-Health appeared effective both in promoting self-management and disease awareness. Globally, all the e-Health interventions seemed to improve Quality of Life and clinical outcomes. Phone reminders were most effective to increase Medication Adherence. All Causes Mortality registered a positive effect through Telemonitoring. Hospital Admission and Cost-Efficacy were explored only by telemonitoring and it did not show differences with traditional intervention. Conclusions E-Health is an effective strategy to promote self-care in patients with chronic conditions and to improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. Further research is required to test e-Health intervention in COPD patients and to examine if there is different efficacy among e-Health subgroups. Key messages E-Health should be integrated in Primary Care strategies to improve Public Health systems resilience. Nurses, as frontline Primary Health Care workers, should be advised for e-Health administration.

Patients with heart failure have difficulty in self-care management, as daily monitoring and recognition of symptoms do not readily trigger an action to avoid hospital admissions. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of a nurse-led complex intervention on symptom recognition and fluid restriction. A latent growth model was designed to estimate the longitudinal effect of a nursing-led complex intervention on self-care management and quality-of-life changes in patients with heart failure and assessed by a pilot study performed on sixty-three patients (33 control, 30 intervention). Patients in the control group had a higher risk of hospitalisation (IRR 11.36; p < 0.001) and emergency admission (IRR 4.24; p < 0.001) at three-months follow-up. Analysis of the time scores demonstrated that the intervention group had a clear improvement in self-care behaviours (βSlope. Assignment_group = −0.881; p < 0.001) and in the quality of life (βSlope. Assignment_group = 1.739; p < 0.001). This study supports that a nurse-led programme on symptom recognition and fluid restriction can positively impact self-care behaviours and quality of life in patients with heart failure. This randomised controlled trial was retrospectively registered (NCT04892004).
