Keywords:
Elderly, hypertension, Posbindu PTM , community-based programAbstract
Indonesia faces a rising burden of hypertension, particularly among its aging population. The Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Development Post (Posbindu PTM) is a key community-based strategy to improve prevention and management. However, its success depends on patient engagement, and the lived experiences of its primary user’s elderly hypertensive patients remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences and perspectives of elderly hypertensive patients regarding their participation in the Posbindu PTM program. A qualitative study employing a descriptive phenomenological approach was conducted. In-depth interviews were held with 15 elderly hypertensive patients (aged 60-80 years) purposively sampled from a Posbindu PTM. Data were analyzed using Van Manen's with describe the meaning of the interview results and group them into themes. Four central themes emerged from the data: (1) The Multifaceted Value of Attendance (2) The Expectation for Interactive Guidance (3) Motivational Drivers for Engagement (4) Perceived Barriers to Access. Elderly participants perceive Posbindu PTM as a vital resource that extends beyond clinical monitoring to provide education, social support, and a sense of community, all of which foster disease control. The findings highlight the critical need to integrate structured, post-screening education and to address physical and psychological access barriers to optimize the program’s reach and impact. Future research should quantitatively evaluate the impact of the identified social support systems on longitudinal hypertension outcomes.
