Abstract

The role of the family is very important in every aspect of the health of family members, in the process of monitoring, maintaining and preventing complications of hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship of the role of the family with treatment compliance with hypertensive patients. The results showed that treatment compliance of hypertensive patients increased with increasing family role (p <0.05). It is expected that the health center can make a program to improve the role of the family in the treatment of hypertensive patients so that it can improve treatment compliance for hypertensive patients.
