Baksos is one of the usual health services. Usually this activity provides free medical services so that many people are interested in coming to see their health. Elderly patients are chosen because elderly patients have special treatment and are vulnerable to life-threatening diseases. whereas hypertensive patients are chosen because the elderly patients who come are the majority who experience the disease. the condition is exacerbated by the lack of patient knowledge about hypertension and the patient's willingness to control routinely. with the existence of good and correct education it is expected that elderly hypertensive patients can be handled properly.

It has long been known that complications of essential hypertension are associated mostly with disorders of blood coagulation system and degree of absolute risk of cardiovascular events is growing with increasing of age. That is why much attention is paid to more detailed study of mechanisms of thrombosis as the component of complications of essential hypertension through lens of hemostatic changes at present. Therefore, regulatory mechanisms of initiation of thrombus formation and participation of platelet hemostasis are studied in hypertensive patients insufficiently today. The aim of the study was to identify the baseline levels of the platelet hemostasis indices in the middle-aged and the elderly hypertensive patients. Material and methods. We performed the comparative assessment of status of the platelet hemostasis in 63 middle-aged (group I) and 53 elderly patients (group II) respectively to clarify this issue in our work. Patients of the surveyed groups were comparable in age, sex and related pathology. The control group consisted of 15 patients for every of the surveyed groups (group III the middle-aged and group IV the elderly respectively) matched with basic by age and gender. Conclusions. Therefore, there is the increase in platelet activity depending on age in the middle-aged and the elderly hypertensive patients that is manifested by adrenaline stimulation most clearly. In addition, the most significant changes are determined in the spontaneous and the adrenaline-induced aggregation namely in amplitude and slope of aggregation in the spontaneous and time of maximal aggregation in the adrenaline-induced aggregation in the patients of older age group compared with the middle-aged patients. The substantial deceleration of time of maximal aggregation during the adrenaline stimulated aggregation in 1,6 times (p<0,001) in the elderly patients confirms the expressed thrombogenicity and sensitiveness to neurohumoral influences too. Thus, the blood plasma thrombogenicity revealed in the study of the platelet hemostasis in the elderly indicates a high probability of thrombotic complications developing in this category of the patients and this is consistent with literature.

Background: Poor adherence (compliance) is common with antihypertensive medications among elderly patients. As the elderly people are prone to multiple comorbidities, they are at higher risk of polypharmacy and therefore may present with a higher risk of non-adherence to medications compared to the younger population. The study was conducted to investigate the impact of pharmacist counseling on medication adherence among elderly hypertensive patients. Methods: The elderly hypertensive patients who visited the out-patient department at Chitwan Medical College (CMC) between August to November 2018. The face-to-face interview was conducted among 332 elderly hypertensive patients, selected with the purposive sampling technique. A paired t-test was used to show the difference between pre-test and post-test medication adherence. Results: It was found that 13.85% of patients were poor adherent and 86.14% low adherent in the intervention and the control group. The major reason for non-adherence was found to be carelessness about taking medicine (97%). The adherence score for intervention group changed from 1.60±0.83 to 3.95±0.56 (p-value < 0.001) while in the control group the average score before and after follow up was 1.48±0.77 and 1.51±0.80 (p=0.373) respectively. Blood pressure status improved in the intervention group than the control group (p<0.001). Polypharmacy was 27.71%, 15.66% of whom experienced adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: The patient medication counseling had a good impact on hypertensive patients. All factors of the Morisky Green Levine adherence scale improved after counseling and motivation. Pharmacist-led counseling improved medication adherence among elderly hypertensive patients. Keywords: Blood Pressure, Counseling, Elderly, Hypertension, Medication Adherence, Pharmacist

Abstract: Hypertension is a condition of elevated abnormal arterial blood pressure that lasts persistently. Some knowledge that should be known by hypertensive patients are such as the meaning of hypertension, the cause of hypertension, the symptoms that come along, and the importance of regular and long term treatment, also knowing the dangers posed if not taking the medication. This study aims to determine the correlation between knowledge and adherence to taking antihypertensive medication in elderly hypertensive patients at the Krian Public Health Center, Sidoarjo Regency. In this study, the population was elderly hypertensive patients who examined themselves or only took control to take medication at the Elderly Polyclinic of Krian Public Health Center in Sidoarjo Regency with 332 populations with 75 samples taken. The result of this research was obtained sig. value = 0,000 (<0,05). This study used the Spearman Correlation statistical test in analyzing the data. From the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between knowledge and adherence to taking antihypertensive medication in elderly hypertensive patients at the Krian Public Health Center, Krian District, this was proved by the acquisition of sig values. = 0,000 (<0.05). Keywords: knowledge, the adherence of taking medication, hypertension
