The overview of hypertension patient and family support

Hypertension is a disease that is known as the silent killer disease or quietly because in general people do not know he suffered from hypertension before they check their blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to look at factors related to adherence to taking anti-hypertension medication. Using descriptive analytic design through Cross Sectional approach. The data were collected by interview using questionnaire. Population in this research in Peukan Bada Public Health Center are 56 people. This study used Chi-Square statistic test. The result of the research showed that hypertension patient mostly good (55,4%), hypertension motivation mostly high (64,3%) and hypertension family support mostly good (60,7%). The result of the statistical test shows that there is correlation between knowledge (p value = 0,001), motivation (p value = 0,002) with adherence to taking anti hypertension medication in hypertension patient and no relation with family support (p value = 0,728) with adherence to taking anti hypertensive drugs in hypertensive patients.

Hypertension Patient

The role of the family is needed in providing support to hypertensive patients to be diligently checked themselves to the place of health care for regular blood control.

The research method used in this study is a correlation study method with the cross-sectional approach, with a total sample of 35 people. Bivariate tests using the Spearman rank correlation test. The value of p-value from family role variables with blood pressure that is p = 0,000 <0.05 which means concluded that there is a significant relation between family roles with the blood pressure of hypertension patients. Family role with blood pressure that is p = 0.003 <0.05 which concluded that there is a significant relation between family support with a blood pressure of hypertension patient. There is a significant correlation between family role and support with blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Tanjung Isuy village, Jempang sub-district, West Kutai regency.

Family support has evolved from a buzzword of the 1990s to a concept founded in theory, mandated by federal law, valued across disciplines, and espoused by both parents and professionals. This emphasis on family-centered practices for families of young children with disabilities, coupled with federal policy initiatives and technological advances, served as the impetus for the development of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs (Nicholson & Martin, in press). White, Forsman, Eichwald, and Muñoz (2010) provide an excellent review of the evolution of EHDI systems, which include family support as one of their 9 components. The National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM), the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and the Center for Disease Control Centers cosponsored the first National EHDI Conference. This conference brought stakeholders including parents, practitioners, and researchers from diverse backgrounds together to form a learning collaborative (Forsman, 2002). Attendees represented a variety of state, national, and/or federal agencies and organizations. This forum focused effort on the development of EHDI programs infused with translating research into practices and policy. When NCHAM, recognizing the critical role of family support in the improvement of outcomes for both children and families, created a think tank to investigate the concept of a conference centered on support for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing in 2005, the “Investing in Family Support” (IFSC) conference was born. This conference was specifically designed to facilitate and enhance EHDI efforts within the family support arena. From this venue, a model of family support was conceptualized and has served as the cornerstone of the IFSC annual conference since 2006. Designed to be a functional framework, the IFSC model delineates where and how families find support. In this article, we will promote and encourage continued efforts towards defining operational measures and program components to ultimately quantify success as it relates to improved outcomes for these children and their families. The authors view this opportunity to revisit the theoretical underpinnings of family support, the emerging research in this area, and the basics of the IFSC Model of Family Support as a call to action. We challenge professionals who work with children identified as deaf or hard of hearing to move family support from conceptualization to practices that are grounded in evidence and ever mindful of the unique and dynamic nature of individual families.

Hiv Epidemic

The high mortality rate among drug users, which is partly due to the HIV epidemic and partly due to drug-related accidental deaths and suicides, presents a major public health problem. Knowing more about prevalence, incidence, and risk factors is important for the development of rational preventive and therapeutic programs. This article attempts to give an overview of studies of the relations between substance abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide, and drug-related death. Research in this field is hampered by the absence of clear definitions, and results of studies are rarely comparable. There is, however, consensus about suicidal ideation being a risk factor for suicide attempts and suicide. Suicidal ideation is also a predictor of suicide, especially among drug users. It is correlated with an absence of family support, with the severity of the psychosocial dysfunctioning, and with multi-drug abuse, but also with requests for treatment. Every clinical examination of a drug user, not only of those who are depressed, should address the possible presence of suicidal ideation, as well as its intensity and duration.
